Coming & Going in Freedom
ONLINE RETREAT
Commemorating Thich Nhat Hanh’s Continuation & 49th Day Ceremony
Friday 11th to Sunday 13th March 2022
An immersive retreat with Plum Village monastics
Join us for mindfulness practices, meditations, talks, and circle sharings, ahead of the live-streamed ceremony to receive and spread Thay’s ashes in Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, France. This online weekend retreat, which will include the traditional 49th Day Ceremony, is a precious opportunity to come together as a community to share from the heart, participate in live teachings, and nourish our collective energy.
Please note that the ceremony on Sunday 13th March will be publicly live streamed for all on the Plum Village YouTube Channel. Signing up for this retreat gives you an additional opportunity to join the monastics for specially-curated live morning and evening sitting meditations, relaxations, Dharma talks, Dharma sharings, and dinner hangouts, in the days leading up to Sunday’s ceremony.
