Dana, a monetary gift, is a traditional offering from the heart. At the end of the retreat, there will be an opportunity to make an offering which goes directly to the teacher and translator.

  • You will receive your zoom link one week before the retreat begins.

    If you must cancel, please email retreats@abhayafellowship.org and indicate whether you would like a refund. After September 30, one week before the retreat, refunds will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

    Booking and transaction fees cannot be refunded.

  • Zoom app: Please download the Zoom app prior to the event, so that you can be sure to participate. Zoom’s FAQ includes a download link and instructions.

    Bandwidth: Check that you have at least 5 Mbps download speeds by visiting fast.com to test your connection. If you have concerns about your capacity, it helps to be in the same room as your WiFi router or to plug into it via Ethernet if possible.

    If you don't have enough bandwidth or an up-to-date computer, you can use a Zoom phone number to join the retreat with audio only. There is no option to participate in the retreat other than joining Zoom (either by device or phone) during the time teaching is given. Delayed broadcast will not be provided, audio and video recordings will not be available.

  • Your zoom link will be emailed one week before the start of the retreat, and it can be also found here https://www.alohadharmaretreats.com/online-attendees using the PW you receive after registering.

    If you don’t receive it, please check your spam folder, then contact retreats@abhayafellowship.org
