We’re glad to be sharing with you our plans to create a memorial space at Dhanakosa in 2025, a place to remember and contemplate. And we’re asking for your help to bring this project into being.

Dhanakosa is a significant place for many people, a spiritual home. We’re making a space on the Dhanakosa land where you can come and remember people close to you, or as a place to request for your ashes to be scattered, somewhere your friends and family can come to remember you.

Our vision is to offer a peaceful and reflective space for people to visit and remember or to simply sit and contemplate impermanence.

The memorial space will be on the loch shore, on the south side of a stand of birch trees below the meadow, making use of an area of Dhanakosa’s land that is rarely used by retreats and can be accessed without disturbing retreat groups.

There will be a sloping path from the road to a simple stone Buddha, a bench in a dry stone wall area, and a boardwalk out to the water for scattering ashes. We’ll add some native planting to the area. The sloping path will allow wheelchair access to the bench area.

We need £12,000 to bring this place into being, covering the costs of path making, drystone walling, seating, jetty, plants, a stone rupa and fencing work.

Can you help us?
