Connecting Live with Plum Village Monastery, France
Three Days to Deepen Mindfulness
Break free from the illusion of separateness and find a compass to navigate the troubled waters of our time. Discover what love in action can look like, for ourselves, our families, our communities and Mother Earth.
We look forward to deepening our mindfulness practice and connecting to one another as we explore these issues.
Please familiarise yourself with the curriculum below, so you can organise your time to join the full program.
Please take some time before the retreat starts, to follow these (links below):
"Before the Retreat Starts"
