We share and present a group of diverse teachers that come from a variety of the many Buddhist traditions and lineages. This plurality is a strength of the Buddhist traditions. However, this diversity does mean that advisors and teachers listed with Open Sangha Collective do not necessarily hold the same opinions or beliefs on every subject. This does not stop all of the teachers & advisors listed on Open Sangha Collective from fully aligning on the values of “dharma without barriers.”

Teachers listed through us rely on the generosity of their students to meet their material needs. Please ensure that you have read our page on dana and thus understand the opportunity and responsibility this traditional structuring of student – teacher interaction allows for and invites.

Please introduce yourself to a teacher you are interested in working with through the contact link provided within their individual entry below. Provide some background information about your life and practice and await their response.

However, many retreats offered are prohibitively expensive: a significant barrier to the Dharma. We are committed to supporting retreats that are run on a fully dana basis both in terms of teaching and room and board.

All courses are offered on a purely dana basis.

Please ensure that you have read our page on dana and watched the short video on the subject provided and thus understand the opportunity and responsibility this traditional structuring of student – teacher interaction allows for and invites.
