New Guidelines for offering dana at Santi FM:
- The dana ceremony will start at 10.45AM
- All food offerings will take place at the outdoor dāna shelter.
- There will be no access to the downstairs area of the main house. This includes the kitchen.
- There is a full outdoor kitchen (microwave, stove, oven) available in the dāna shelter.
- If you have any cold-like symptoms at all, no matter how mild, (such as fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose, loss of smell or taste), please cancel your visit at Santi and seek medical advice.
- Dhamma talks are generally held upstairs in the meditation hall around 12 noon. A disabled accessible location is also possible. Please ask if this is needed.

Santi and the environment
As a forest monastery bordering Morton National Park we strive to minimise our impact on our environment. We support Bundanoon in its “bottled water – free” town campaign – so please do not offer bottled water to the monastery. We also try to refrain from using plastic disposable items such as: plates, cups and cutlery, tea light candles and other materials that harm the environment. At Santi we have an environmentally friendly greywater system, which cannot handle harsh chemical detergents, so please offer only ‘greywater safe’ laundry detergents. We appreciate your support in our effort to keep a green monastery.
