Rains Retreat Practice Weeks

Join the sisters and lay community for 1-2 weeks of practice during our 90-day Rains Retreat.

The 90-day Rains Retreat is an annual retreat whose origins date back to the time of the Buddha. It is a time for monks and nuns to deepen their studies, practice, and focus on building the monastic sangha.

In Plum Village, we also welcome lay friends to join us and participate in the 90-days of practice alongside the monastics, either for the entire 90 days, or for one or two weeks. This creates a joyful, community experience, and a time for collective healing and transformation.

Please note that during the Rains Retreat, Lower Hamlet and New Hamlet will alternatively host the weeks with French translation.

Upper Hamlet (home of the monks) will not host 1-2 weeks during the Rains Retreat, but will host short term guests during Christmas & New Year retreats.
