What is a Weekend Retreat for Wake Up?
It is a period for Wake Up friends, our young practitioners (18-35 years old) to stay and practice Mindfulness in Healing Spring Monastery, near Paris. This simple program will allow you to slow down, rest, and be nourished by peace and togetherness. You will learn and deepen your meditation together with monastic community and other lay practitioners. Sometimes, We also practice together with practitioners who will come for day of Mindfulness on Sunday.
Wonderful. Very strengthening for my practice and mental health.

It also helps participants facing financial difficulties. Although we don’t offer 100% reduction, we provide reductions based on individual needs. If you really need assistance, after booking, even if the scholarship rate is no longer available, please feel free to contact us for support.
We don’t want financial difficulties to be a barrier to practice.
