Join us from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon
Dip into the monastery atmosphere and join the New Hamlet sisters for live online meditation sessions and Dharma sharings this January
Here in Plum Village we continue to explore new ways to offer our practices online. For two weekends in January, we will experiment with offering two “lighter” weekend programs of live meditation sessions and Dharma sharings, open to all, on a donation basis. The program will include live introductions to the art of sitting meditation and walking meditation, given by senior teachers in the Plum Village tradition.
These weekends will allow more flexibility to connect with the monastic community for a few sessions, as well as the precious chance to be in a Dharma Sharing group led by a monastic facilitator for two consecutive days on the weekend.
For those of you already attending local sanghas, these weekends may offer a chance to refresh your practice with a direct connection to the monastery. For those who have not yet tried a full 3-day or 5-day immersive retreat, you may find these lighter weekends to be a more accessible “taster” of Plum Village practice. For our core community who have been enjoying our online retreats, we hope these sessions can provide a thread of connection and community, as Plum Village turns our energy to the challenge of re-opening for in-person retreats.
The weekend online sessions are being offered on a donation-basis. We warmly invite you to consider making a contribution, according to your means, to support the monastery’s operations and to allow us to make it sustainable to continue to offer the Dharma online. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.
Please note: These sessions will be offered via Zoom and YouTube only, and will not be hosted on the Teachable course platform we are using for immersive retreats.
Language: All sessions will be offered in English, with the possibility of other languages for Dharma sharing, if numbers are sufficient.
