Feedback From Wake Up Retreat 2023
The wake up retreat was a joyous and life changing experience. I was able to listen to myself more and heal some old wounds of the past with the support and beautiful conditions of plum village. I am so grateful for this experience thank you from the bottom of my heart

Wake up is more than a meditation retreat. It helped me to regain connection to myself and to people around me. I helped me to cultivate joy and belonging while addressing difficult topics such as environmental and social challenges, things that I deeply care about.

I feel incredibly lucky that my first time at PV was a summer with a historic number of LGBTQIA+ Sanghas, making it an incredibly safe and empowering space for me as a queer person, where I found beautiful connections. I will definitely be back next year and looking forward to continue to build community with my rainbow siblings!
