Join the monastic community founded, ordained and trained by Thich Nhat Hanh as they tour the United States to continue the legacy of the beloved Zen master.  Join us in New York, Mississippi and California for retreats, public talks, and days of mindfulness, and learn how you can bring the miracle of mindfulness into your daily life.

At Wake Up Schools, we believe that the first step to becoming a mindful teacher is to embody the practices.  Plum Village retreats are ideal occasions to learn about and reinforce practices like listening to the bell, sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful movements and more.  These events also allow educators and other participants to build relationships with each other.  Whether in sharing circles or during mindful meals, the tour events allow us to  strengthen our our understanding of the practices and to find effective ways of cultivating these healthy habits once we return home.

Below you can find the basics of when and where the events for this tour will be taking place and how to register.
