The new Wake Up International OI Study Group

This group is for Wake Uppers and Wake Up alumni (under 45 years old) who have been practicing with Plum Village sangha for a few years and wish to deepen their practice and commitment by receiving the 14 MTs and joining the Order of Interbeing.

After months of preparation, the fruits are ripening and we are looking forward to studying, practicing and connecting with many of you from all around the world soon. It will start on September 20th.

Please submit the attached application form no later than 15 August.
We encourage early applications, as reviewing may take a few weeks. Thank you very much.

What does the study group involve?

• Monthly online training and study sessions (2 hours)
  Led by senior Dharma teachers and various guest teachers (monastic and lay), covering all 14 Mindfulness Trainings, as well as topics like Sangha building, inclusivity and diversity, social action, and engaged Buddhism.
  
• Monthly small sharing groups (4–7 people)
  Led by OI members (secondary mentors). We will organize these groups for you.
  
• One-on-one mentorship
  Each participant will also have a personal mentor (primary mentor). You will be responsible for reaching out and finding your primary mentor.
