Plum Village
This is the official account for the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh and our centers practicing in the Plum Village Tradition.
Plum Village, in southwest France, is the first monastic community founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) in the West. Plum Village is where Thay has realized his dream of building a Beloved Community: creating a healthy, nourishing environment where people can learn the art of living in harmony with one another and with the Earth.
At all our centers we weave mindfulness into all our daily activities, training ourselves to be mindful throughout the day: while eating, walking, working, or enjoying a cup of tea together. We enjoy periods of silence, sitting meditation, rest, relaxation, mindful work and play. On this YouTube channel we are sharing Dharma talks, guided meditations, songs and chants from the Plum Village Tradition.

The following weekend, on the lunar anniversary, the International Plum Village Community will hold a Ceremony of Transformation to Ancestor in Vietnam to mark the end of its formal mourning period and recognize our teacher ("Thay") as the fifth patriarch of his root temple, Từ Hiếu, and founder of the Plum Village Sangha.
We welcome you to join these online events on or near the solar anniversary (January 22) and lunar anniversary (January 29) of our dear Thay’s passing:

Dear friends,
This evening, the sisters of New Hamlet are preparing for the upcoming online retreat so there is no live-streamed meditation session.
Please enjoy this guided meditation recorded earlier this spring.
We also hope that you can join us for the next online retreat, The Art of Awakened Living, 24-26 July. Once registered, the content of the three-day retreat is for you to keep for the next six months. It includes special teaching from Sr Chan Khong at Root Temple in Vietnam and Dharma Sharing sessions facilitated by monastics.
