The workshops are aimed at teachers, educators, school managers and administrators from all types of schools and educational institutions including higher education. They will be suitable for both newcomers to the Plum Village practice as well as experienced practitioners.

In combination with the wider retreat schedule, there will be opportunities to collectively practice sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, deep relaxation and other mindfulness practices. Educators will learn how to ‘bring body and mind together; generate feelings of joy and happiness; know how to deal with painful emotions and thoughts and listen with compassion.’ These are the crucial skills Thich Nhat Hanh has shared with educators. Having tasted the joy and peace generated by these practices, we will explore how we can bring our own practice into our classrooms and school environments.
