What is Weekend Retreat for Young Vietnamese?
Are you a young Vietnamese (18–40), living in the West, looking for inner peace, connection, and clarity? Join us for a special retreat at Healing Spring Monastery, where we’ll explore mindfulness in a space that honors our Vietnamese culture and heritage.
Together, we’ll be bathing in culture, language, food, music, and the presence of our spiritual ancestors. This is a rare opportunity to find rest, joy, and community with others who understand the unique challenges of growing up between cultures.
✨ Reconnect. Reflect. Heal. Come as you are.
Wonderful. Very strengthening for my practice and mental health.
