Day of Mindfulness

The Day

We will offer a selection of practices from Thich Nhat Hanh’s Plum Village tradition- offers to facilitate are welcome, please email Jan HERE who is co-ordinating the practice schedule for the day.

Lunch

Lunch is an opportunity for us to practice mindful eating together enjoying a vegan potluck. The Plum Village Monasteries all serve vegan food (nothing that is derived from another living being, including honey). So we are invited to bring vegan food to share – there are many thousands of recipes online and there are usually vegan versions of familiar favourites, different types of salads, dips and desserts – it doesn’t have to be fancy!

What to Bring

For your comfort please bring:

• Vegan dish/food to share with serving spoon.
• Journal/notebook & pen
• To help to reduce landfill waste and recycling, by avoiding single use plastics etc., please bring:
  • Your own plate/bowl
  • Utensils
  • Thermos or Cup
  • Water bottle
  • Cushions, mat, yoga mat, blanket (so more will have the opportunity to use ones at the sangha)
  • Anything else you may need.

Registration

Please let us know if you would like to register for the day. There is no charge for the day. There will be an opportunity to offer donations, also known as the practice of ‘dana’ (giving) – one of the Six Paramitas. All donations will be going to Magnolia Grove Monastery’s dining hall renovation fund.
