Dartmouth Events

Dinner discussion with senior monastic Dharma teachers from scholar, poet, peace activist and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s Deer Park Plum Village Monastery in California. Join us in exploring how mindfulness can be applied in the context of our daily lives to cultivate a greater sense of wellbeing and connection. A brief presentation will be followed by a guided mindful eating practice and discussion. Register through your house community.

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 mindfulness 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. 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. When we train our mind and learn to trust our inherent goodness, new possibilities manifest that cannot be discovered by thinking alone. In these sessions we learn ways to cultivate insight, compassion, build resilience, non-fear and nurture a culture of inclusivity and loving kindness.
