Refresh and extend your practice in the Plum Village tradition

key info

3 Mar 2025 - 3 Mar 2025

Online

Every Monday 7:00 – 9:00 PM for 6 weeks beginning 3 Mar 2025

Looking Deeply is a follow on course from Be Calm Be Happy in which you can extend your practice in the Plum Village Zen tradition.

We do this most beneficially as a Sangha, a group of people coming together to practise and support one another on the journey.

We go deeper into Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings, helping us to become more aware of our territory of body, feelings, mind and consciousness. We discover how to take mindfulness further into our daily lives.

What to Expect

Sessions are online via Zoom. In each, we meditate together, consider the weekly theme, and undertake a reflection exercise looking at its relevance to us, with time for group discussion.

There will be recommended meditations from the Plum Village App to use during the week. You can install the Plum Village App here

You will get the most from this course if you regularly practise the meditations and reflect on the weekly theme between each session. The Plum Village App will be a valuable resource to support this.

Themes for the sessions:

  • Arriving Home
  • Mindfulness of the Body
  • Mindfulness of Feelings
  • Mindfulness of the Mind
  • Impermanence
  • Connectedness

Schedule

The course is at the same time every week. You will meet with the same group each time.

This is a live, interactive course, without any recorded sessions to download.

Each session lasts two hours.

Who can attend?

The course is suitable for those of all faiths and none. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds.
