La Source Gu\u00e9rissante<\/em> (LSG) or the Healing Spring, is a Monastery and a Mindfulness Practice Center in the tradition of Plum Village founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. It is located in Verdelot, Seine et Marne, Ile de France. The monastery is permanently inhabited by a group of monastic brothers, who practice and serve as a community. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Short History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This convent \u2014 which was established by Augustinian sisters of Meaux, who left the place around 2000 \u2014 has been transformed into a Plum Village Monastery or, as we prefer to call it, Mindfulness Practice Center. The center has a beautiful living space, surrounded by 1.8 hectares of green hills. It has a peaceful atmosphere, conducive to cultivation of the mind in the process of Transformation and Healing. Nearby there is a Sacred Spring, which is the focus of many legends. This spring offers the name to our center \u2014 La Source Gu\u00e9rissante<\/em> (The Healing Spring)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At Healing Spring we host mostly on Sundays (Mindfulness Day) and also organize Residential Mindfulness Retreats. We offer a refuge that is close to nature while, at the same time, being quite accessible through public transportation coming from the capital city, Paris (85 minutes from Gare de l\u2019Est).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 40-minute walk, there is also a Center for the monastic sisters \u2014 La Maison de L’inspir<\/em>. Sisters and brothers have separate activities and come together a few times per month, such as for our days of mindfulness and co-organizing retreats.Our beloved teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said: \u201ceveryone knows that peace must begin with oneself, but few people know how to do it.\u201d At La Source Gu\u00e9rissante,<\/em> we will have the opportunity to learn this, supported by the monastic community and all those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
