Dear Wake-Uppers,

We warmly invite you to our intergenerational Mindfulness Retreat in Switzerland from 23rd-30th of July 2016. The theme this year will be “Engaged Buddhism: From Inner Transformation To Compassion in Action“.

Based on the Mindfulness Practice of Plum Village, we will explore Skillful Means to learn the Art of Transformation in one self and in the world:

+ Transforming confusion into Wisdom

+ Transforming suffering into Compassion in Action

Engaged Buddhism can be applied on all levels of our life, personal, family, organization, nation and planet. We will explore how we can embody our values and highest aspirations in personal and work life alike, based on the notion of Right Livelihood.

We want not only to share teachings, but also to have a living experience of an harmonious community lifestyle aligned with the principles that we will practice.

Nature experiences in the wonderful Swiss Alps will be a nourishing source of energy and healing as we undergo this deep process.

Body/mind practices such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Walking Meditation, will contribute to a holistic experience.

Please find detailed information on this retreat here. Thanks to sponsorship from elders, there is a special discount for young people under 30 and students.

Space is limited and we are usually booked out two weeks after public announcement. Online registration is now open.

Looking forward to practicing with you in the mountains,
The Chandolin Retreat Team
