Welcome to a mindfulness and meditation retreat led by monastic students of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh founder of the Plum Village tradition.

 

Learn how to cultivate zen, presence, resilience, and joy in your daily life as a way of finding more freedom and stability to navigate challenging experiences.

 

This retreat will offer meditation in various formats (guided, walking, eating), live talks, Q&A, deep relaxation and sharing circles; all practices that will benefit beginners as well as experienced practitioners.

 

The planned activities will be led by experienced monastics:
• Jem Fredhamn (dharma teacher)
• Brother Phap Xa (monastic brother from EIAB in the Plum Village tradition)
• Brother Troi Khiet Tam (monastic brother from EIAB in the Plum Village tradition)

Organizers
The retreat is organised by three swedish sanghas in the Plum Village community:

All three communities, gather on a regular basis to practice mindfulness in order to take care of ourselves, nourish happiness and contribute to building a healthier and a more compassionate society.
