Mai Blossom UK is a Vietnamese Sangha based in London practicing in the Plum Village tradition. We offer a gentle space for Vietnamese friends who wish to explore the practice in Vietnamese and enjoy Thay’s Vietnamese teachings. Whether you are taking your first steps on the path or wishing to deepen your practice in Vietnamese, you are lovingly welcomed into our Mai Blossom UK Sangha.
We gather once a month, alternating between Saturdays and Sundays so that as many friends as possible can join. In each session, we enjoy mindful sitting, mindful walking, and the simple joy of breathing together. There are moments for singing, sharing from the heart, and listening to Dharma talks from Thay – Zen Master Thích Nhat Hanh, nourishing calmness and peace in ourselves and in our Vietnamese community.

Theme: Tea meditation: A cup of presenceTea is not simply a drink — it is an invitation to return to ourselves. As we hold the cup in our hands, we feel its warmth, breathe in its fragrance, and allow this simple moment to become a moment of true presence. Let us enjoy this tea together, in freedom and in joy.
When conditions allow, we also help organise retreats at Being Peace Practice Centre and Days of Mindfulness with Vietnamese-speaking monastics. To receive updates about our practice sessions and upcoming events, please join our mailing list by contacting maiblossomuk@gmail.com
We also love to share the joy of our practice on Facebook and Instagram—come follow us and stay connected.
A lotus for you,
Mai Blossom UK Caretaking team.
