A global community of young adults (ages 18-35) practicing the living art of mindfulness in the Plum Village tradition founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear friends from around the world, @PlumVillage and the international @EarthHolderPV invite you to join the Global Earth Retreat, “Love is Freedom” this June. It will be the first ‘hybrid’ retreat, meaning both in-person and online, of its kind in PV. bit.ly/loveisfreedom
ALT Many of us are wholeheartedly and tirelessly engaged to create a better world and protect our planet. Because we work with dedication and in often challenging environments, many are facing the risk of burn-out, emotional exhaustion, and despair. How can we be engaged and face difficulties, and still take good care of ourselves and be happy? How can we be nourished by the beauty of Mother Earth and the embrace and support of a beloved community? How can love show us the way?
Plum Village is launching a 6-week in-depth online learning journey to nurture insight, compassion, community, and action in service of the Earth, bringing to life teachings in Thich Nhat Hanh’s book, Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet!
