For decades, Plum Village monasteries and practice centers have welcomed families into retreats and shared simple, joyful practices that help nourish connection, presence, and understanding across generations. Rooted in the teachings of peace activist and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, these practices have supported thousands of parents, children, caregivers, and educators in bringing more calm, compassion, and togetherness into daily life.
In this conversation, we’ll explore:
We’ll also share how these teachings are beginning to be offered in new online formats—including the upcoming Happy Families Change the World 8-week online course starting June 13, which will also serve as a foundational offering for families joining the School of Interbeing community.
Whether you are a parent, educator, caregiver, or simply curious about mindful family life, you are warmly invited to join us.
