We will have a week-long retreat from 4–11 August where we will welcome many hundreds of you, especially from Europe, to enjoy live Dharma talks, sitting meditations, walking meditations, living together joyfully, simply, and happily. There will be time for hikes, listening to one another, bonfires, and touching a spiritual dimension in our life. Our annual Wake Up retreats are part of the active community of young practitioners in the Plum Village tradition called Wake Up. If you are new to Plum Village retreats, we invite you to read more here. Please spread the word with your friends and be sure to book early as spaces are limited.

Most sharing groups are open to everyone (“General”), with a mixture of genders and ages, and are facilitated by an experienced monastic. Within all sharing circles we will learn about and practice loving speech and deep listening, share our insights, joys and difficulties. Depending on the need, there may be groups based on language. As per Wake Up Retreat tradition, one afternoon of sharing circles in safe spaces will be dedicated to topics of sexuality. We also offer a few themed groups as follows (click to learn more): Dharma Sharing for the LGBTQIA+ communityLGBTQIA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual. You are free to join if you identify with those. To welcome the LGBTQIA+ community, we offer sharing circles with experienced monastic facilitators to create an inclusive and safe atmosphere. This is not an activism group but practices Mindfulness, coming back to oneself, connecting with each other, building siblinghood, brotherhood, sisterhood. Dharma Sharing for People of Color/BIPOCWe are offering Dharma Sharing groups for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and those who identify as such can choose to join this group if they wish. Aware that People of Color, as individuals and communities, may have similar lived experiences, including of intended and unintended discrimination, we provide circle sharing groups offered by an experienced facilitator, in which People of Color can express themselves freely and feel safer. It is reserved for People of Color only, in order to cultivate an environment that can support our individual and collective transformation and healing.
