Wake Up Retreat in India

We are delighted to announce this retreat for young people in India at the Mindfulness Practice Centre, Jamun Village, in Rajpur, Dehradun from March 13-16, 2023, titled Together We Build the Future.

It is an in-person 4 day Wake Up Mindfulness Retreat (13th to 16th March) for young adults aged 18 to 35, hosted by Ahimsa Trust with the support of monastics from France and other practitioners in the Plum Village tradition.

In this four day retreat, we will explore how the teachings of mindfulness can offer concrete and sustainable practices to cultivate peace and happiness. Mindfulness is the energy of being aware of what is happening inside and around us in the present moment. It is increasingly being recognized as an essential support for mental health among the youth and the cultivation of the concentration and insight to create a better environment around us. When we practice mindfulness together we can also experience the miraculous healing and transformative power of community. Together we build a happy future.

During the retreat we will listen to Dharma talks, practice sitting, walking, eating and working meditation, while being nourished by the restorative peace and wonder of nature all around. As part of the working meditation practices, we plan to work on some projects on the land.
