Santi Forest Monastery is a Buddhist education and meditation residence for nuns and laypeople.

Established in 2003, it is set in the rugged bush ravines of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. Santi offers accommodation, teaching, and support for study and practice of Buddhism in the Forest Tradition, with a special emphasis on the earliest teachings of the Buddha that are shared by all Buddhist traditions. 

For more information on the monastery and monastic life see www.santifm.org. For recordings and videos of past Dhamma teaching from Santi Monastics see http://dhammanet.org/news.php.

Santi Monastery is now facilitating Renounceathon 2013 to fundraise for the monastery.

The Renouceathon encourages participants to 'renounce something' for a month, e.g. a bad habit or something they would like to try being without for a short time. Friends, family and well wishers can then sponsor a participant to maintain their 'renunciation' for that period, and pledge to donate to the renounceathon if the participant succeeds with the challenge.

To create an online Fundraising Page click on the 'Start Fundraising' button in the left margin or sponsor someone efforts and donate to the monastery by going to 'Sponsor a Friend'.
