About the session

Our panelists are part of the Upper Hamlet Safeguarding Council at Plum Village. They’ll share how Plum Village understands safeguarding today – what harm can look like, how responsibility is held, and what support and responses are available when something doesn’t feel right.

This is about co-creating sanghas where people feel safe, heard, and respected, and where we know what to do if harm happens, so we can learn, heal, and move forward together.

We’d love to practice with you

Hope to see you there!

With a smile,

Oomph, European Wake Up CTC
