“When we learn to love and understand ourselves and have true compassion for ourselves, then we can truly love and understand another person.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Dear Friends, You and your family are invited to join us for our end-of-year Holiday Retreat in Magnolia Grove monastery. It’s a time for looking inward, taking stock, and starting afresh. It’s a time for renewing our practice, our relationships, and our aspirations. Let’s make this year a celebration of love.
Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love. – Thich Nhat Hanh
This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a family, to celebrate the joy of togetherness and learn ways to live together with more harmony, acceptance and love. Whether you bring your children or whether you come alone, all are held in the collective embrace of the community. With our practice of mindfulness, we contribute to and benefit from the collective and healing energy of mindfulness around us.
Our monastics will offer separate programs for children (6-12) and teens (13-17) with age-appropriate sharings, mindfulness practices and games.
Please visit the Magnolia Grobe monastery website for detailed information.
