This retreat has been organised by a group of friends deeply nourished and inspired by the ‘Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet’ course. which has been offered online by Plum Village Sangha several times over the past few years. We want to welcome everyone who has participated in that online course and any other Plum Village practitioners or friends in the practice of activism and awareness of the current situation of our precious planet.
We are coming together for a weekend of deep care and practice at Dharma Gaia to rest, rejuvenate, and nourish ourselves and each other.
There will be a gentle schedule of sitting, walking , Dharma tlks and sharing circles with generous time also to just be …. to enjoy the beauty of the land, to rest and to connect informally.
