About the Visit
Embodying Mindfulness: A Week of Monastic Wisdom at Dartmouth
How can we practice Engaged Mindfulness to respond with intelligence and compassion to the increasingly challenging situations that come our way, personally and collectively? What practices can help us take better care of our strong emotions, like anger and grief?
Join us in exploring these topics and more through a week of presentations, discussions, and meditation practice with senior monastic Dharma teachers in the Plum Village Tradition of scholar, poet, peace activist, and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh from Deer Park Monastery in California and Magnolia Grove Monastery in Mississippi. They will share practical examples of how mindfulness practices can be applied in our daily lives so we can find dynamic responses to the ever-changing difficulties in our study, work, and relationships.
