The Island Within

mindfulness retreat in the Plum Village tradition

 Mundekulla Retreat Center, Långasjö, Sweden

Where can we go to be truly safe in the most difficult moments? Do we know how to come back to that safe place and dwell there whenever we need? During this retreat you are invited to explore your relationship with that safe space – “the island within”. Learn how to cultivate zen, presence, resilience, and joy in your daily life as a way of finding more freedom and stability to navigate challenging experiences.

This mindfulness retreat is led by monastic students of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, founder of the Plum Village tradition. During our time together there will be various forms of meditation (guided, walking, eating), live talks, Q&A, deep relaxation and sharing circles; all practices that will benefit beginners as well as experienced practitioners.
