Open Call for Dhanakosa Retreat Centre Poetry Anthology
One meaning of Dhanakosa is ‘storehouse of treasure’ and it lives up to its name as a precious and significant place for all those who have stayed there on retreat, many of whom keep returning. Some people arrive with the specific intention to write poetry, others find themselves inspired and writing it anyway, even if they’ve never put pen to paper before.

As a result of a generous offering, a small but beautiful print anthology of poems will be published in early summer 2027 to coincide with Dhanakosa’s 35th anniversary – and you are warmly invited to submit your poems to be considered for inclusion. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Dhanakosa charity. For details on how to submit see our website: https://www.dhanakosa.com/open-call-dhanakosa-poetry-anthology

The bench in front of the office is a favourite place for tea breaks - particularly in good weather.
