Give the gift of mindfulness this Christmas
Stuck on ideas for a loved one? Don’t want to contribute to overconsumption by purchasing a gadget that might never be used? Think that spending money on experiences creates more happiness than spending money on things?
Well a solution is at hand. Why not give a loved one a place on our “Be Calm, Be Happy” mindfulness course? If someone you know is curious about mindfulness practice, this course will give them a potentially life-changing grounding in the Plum Village practices and a supportive and gentle enviroment to get started with mindfulness.
Previous participants have said:

The course provides a gradual introduction to mindfulness and meditation and key teachings on positive happy living over six sessions. The course includes guided mindfulness exercises and meditations, group discussions and practical exercises led by experienced facilitators in a warm, friendly atmosphere, with a maximum group size of 8-15 people depending on venue.
