Present Moment, Wonderful Moment Mindfulness Retreat

Dear Friends

We are inviting you to join us for a weekend of practice in the Plum Village tradition. We will sit, meditate, walk and eat together. This is an opportunity to simply practice with sangha in a peaceful and lovely setting.

The weekend will consist of both guided and silent meditations, friendly noble silence from the evening meditation to after lunch allowing spaciousness, relaxation and ease.

Part of the retreat experience includes helping to set up the meditation rooms and other occasional light activity. This supports the retreat flow smoothly for everyone. We do this sangha service with mindfulnes.

The retreat will be facilitated by sangha members with many years of practice.
