This summer, the monastic and lay community of Magnolia Grove Monastery warmly invites you to a joyful and nourishing Family Retreat in the Plum Village tradition. This is a precious opportunity to slow down, come home to ourselves, and cultivate togetherness through the practice of mindfulness.
Over five days, we will practice mindful breathing, walking, sitting, and eating together. The retreat includes daily teachings, Dharma sharing, and practices such as Deep Relaxation, Touching the Earth, and Beginning Anew—designed to help us deepen our understanding and compassion.
Families, couples, and individuals of all ages and backgrounds are warmly welcome. The retreat includes a children’s program, and the first part of each Dharma talk is dedicated to our young practitioners.
Whether you are new to mindfulness or have been practicing for many years, this is a beautiful opportunity to experience the joy of mindful living and nourish your spiritual roots in a supportive community.
We look forward to welcoming you.
