DonateDear Friends,
Please join the Deer Park community for a Community Work Day to help clean up and take care of the new TNH School site on Saturday, January 31 starting at 9 am.
This will be a day of serving with our hands and our hearts—clearing, cleaning, and preparing the land so it can become a safe and welcoming home for many children and families.
Because the school site is in the neighborhood, we will meet at the Happy Farm parking lot next to the main gate (instead of coming up to the monastery first). Friends can park there and carpool to the school site together, saving time and energy.
Some of the tasks
Thank you, dear friends, for your love and care for our community. We look forward to being and serving with you for this inaugural community work day from the heart for the School of Interbeing.
With each mindful helping hand, we are preparing a place that can hold joy, safety, and wonder—a true home for children and families, now and for generations to come.
From time to time we offer multi-week courses related to mindfulness, the teachings and life of Thich Nhat Hanh, and a variety of similar subjects. Please see our schedule of upcoming courses.

Take the Deer Park Monastery and Plum Village community with you wherever you go. The Plum Village app is designed to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and joy through guided meditations, deep relaxations, practice poems, bells of mindfulness, and other practices — all through a mobile device.
