Youth retreat at the Maison de l’Harmonie A Moment on Earth from Thursday evening 30 April until Sunday evening 3 May with Brothers, Sisters and Lay Practitioners from Plum Village After all the great experiences of the other youth retreats, we have become quite addicted to them. The Wake Up ! movement has grown and flowered, and we would love to help you discover one of its fruits: la Maison de l’Harmonie, in Sologne, France....
where a youth Sangha has started recently, and which is starting to live from organic farming methods. What better place to stop for a moment, breathe and deepen our links with the earth through PlumVillage practice ? This retreat is at the same time part of the Universités Paysannes movement, run by the Association Intelligence Verte, and we will also have the chance to meet up with some of the pioneers of the Organic movement from the Ferme de Sainte-Marthe. Bring strong shoes for walking in the forest and working in the garden, a sleeping bag, your enthusiasm, and your smile ! We also count on your donations, whether food and/or financial, to help support the new community. Registration and payment: Starting from now,you can fill in the registration form (see next page), and send it by e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
