Photos from our latest online retreat, you can join the next one here.
From February 24 to 28, 2021 Plum Village hosted the online retreat “Action from the Heart”. It was especially curated for activists in all fields with almost 1,000 retreatants from over 65 countries joining. We received a lot of positive feedback from people feeling nourished by many activities. There were about 200 people who made the commitment to live a wholesome life guided by the 5 Mindfulness Trainings.
Let’s enjoy some activities through these photos.
