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, lay friends are warmly welcomed to join and participate in the 90-day Rains Retreat alongside the monastics. Friends may also join us for a short-term stay, offering an opportunity to experience mindful living, community practice, and the energy of the Rains Retreat for a shorter period.
This creates a joyful, community experience, and a time for collective healing and transformation.
