SUMMARY:Earth Care Sangha - Online
DESCRIPTION:Earth Care Sangha – A Sangha For Our Times\nWe have to wake up together — Thich Nhat Hanh \nMany of us are aware that we live in times of great peril for life on Earth but also of great promise for change. It is easy to be overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness\, despair and sorrow for what is being done to the Earth. But by practising together we can make a positive difference\, and strengthen our resilience and joy. In response to our individual and collective need to do something\, Earth Care Sangha is offered. \nIn small Dharma sharing groups we can explore our feelings and speak openly in the company of others who share our concerns\, safe in the knowledge that we do this without judgement or conflict. We hope that by sharing freely in this way\, we can help each other find concrete ways to transform and heal\, cultivate joy\, and strengthen our understanding of interbeing with Mother Earth. \nGrounded in the Plum Village tradition\, and with close links to the Earth Care Steering Group\, Earth Care Sangha is truly a sangha for these times. We invite you to join us\, enjoy the practices\, and help shape its future. Let’s wake up together! \nPlease email earthcare@plumvillage.uk with any feedback\, questions\, suggestions or offers of help. \n\nEarth Care Resources\n\nDownloadable resources for holding your own Earth caring sangha meeting\nAdditional Earth Care Resources\n\n\n  \nPhoto by NASA on Unsplash \n  \n\nGuided Meditation: The Four Elements | Sister Chan Duc

SUMMARY:Engaged Practice for Peace - Online
DESCRIPTION:Let us offer the world the best flowers and fruit of our practice\, lucidity\, solidity\, brotherhood\, sisterhood\, understanding and compassion. \nLet us give rise to the determination to look deeply into the nature of fear\, anger\, hatred\, and violence and to give rise to the eyes of compassion \n– Thich Nhat Hanh \nMany are deeply affected by ongoing violence and continuous conflicts around the world\, which are causing great suffering. How can we support those who are in distress and also take gentle care of our own strong emotions? \nYou are warmly invited to join us as we take refuge for an hour of peace\, and the precious opportunity to practise with friends in the wider Sangha\, breathing together\, listening deeply\, sharing what is in our heart. \nWe know that mindful breathing is a concrete way to bring the practice of peace into our life\, and help us defuse strong emotions\, and establish solidity\, calm and concentration in our mind and heart.  We must take good care of our self before we can be there for others. \nPlease join us for a guided meditation\, a reading\, music and Dharma Sharing. \nHosted by members of the Plum Village UK sangha.

SUMMARY:Peace Begins Here - Online New Year Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A new year online retreat to gather together as Sangha and nourish each other and ourselves. \nThay tells us: \nFrom time to time\, to remind ourselves to relax\, to be peaceful\, we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat\, when we can walk slowly\, smile\, drink tea with a friend\, enjoy being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth. This is not a retreat\, it is a treat \nWhy not treat yourself to some time together moving towards peace in our lives\, in each moment? “With the support of friends in the practice\, peace has a chance” \nJoin us to see in the New Year in a mindful way with a loving community. \nThere will be plenty of space in between sessions to be offline. \n  \nRetreat Leaders\nThe retreat will be lead by Dharma Teacher Lauri Bower and supported by Order member Letizia Nodari. \n  \nLauri Bower\n\nLauri lives in Yorkshire and practises with the York Sangha. \nShe was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in Plum Village in 2014 and received the Lamp Transmission as a Dharma Teacher in 2026. Her True name is True Mountain of Non-Fear. \nLauri has been meditating for nearly 40 years and met Plum Village teachings in 2006. Her PhD research (2008-12) on Thich Nhat Hanh\, Mindfulness and Engaged Buddhism led to teaching MBSR courses\, and from 2016 The Art of Zen Course for Plum Village UK. She has co-created two further courses (Looking Deeply and Living Mindfully) for a pathway into establishing and deepening a personal and Sangha-based practice. \nShe has a creative practice\, finding the combination of mindfulness and creativity fit together extremely well. She offers Mindful Writing Workshops and Retreats and the new Playing with Mindfulness and Creativity Course. \nLauri has offered the The Art of Zen course over 40 times\, and still finds much to gain from exploring these simple yet deep teachings. \nMindfulness is an integral part of her life and she finds the practice helps generate peacefulness\, calm and clarity. \n  \nLetizia Nodari\n\nLetizia has practised in the Plum Village Zen tradition since 2002. \nShe works as a person-centred counsellor. The teachings and practices she has encountered during her retreats have helped her greatly to deepen her own self-awareness and to inform and enrich her therapeutic interventions. \nShe has attended retreats regularly to deepen her understanding of Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings and increase her ability to incorporate them in her daily life. During an extended stay in Plum Village Monastery at the 2022/23 Rains retreat\, Letizia was deeply moved by the light-heartedness and joyfulness emanated by the monastic community\, and by the depth and stability of their practice. Since that stay\, she has been even more determined to nourish her practice regularly and to share its transformational energy with others. \nLetizia lives in the Northeast and practises with Northern Lotus and York sanghas. She received the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings in 2024 and her dharma name is True Deep Inclusiveness. \n  \nPractical Information\nSchedule\nWeds 30 Dec\n7-8:30pm    Introduction to the theme and deep relaxation \nThur 31 Dec\n8-9am:    Meditation and mindful movements\n10-11:30am    Dharma talk\n1pm    Optional lunch together\n3pm    Deep relaxation\n4-5pm    Dharma Sharing in groups\n7-8:30pm    NYE Celebration and candle lighting \nFri 1 Jan\n10-11am    Meditation and mindful movements\n11:15am    Recitation of 5 Mindfulness Trainings and Dharma Talk\n1pm    Optional lunch together\n2pm    Dharma Sharing in groups\n3-4pm    Closing circle and retreat ends \nPricing\nWe are offering tiered pricing to allow accessibility.
