About this Event
We are a community of mindfulness practitioners aged 18-35ish, inspired by the teachings of Zen Master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh.
Together, we practice meditation, mindful tea drinking, deep listening, and compassionate living.
We are queer and disabled friendly, and welcome all, regardless of your prior meditation experience or personal belief system. We will be practicing in the Plum Village Tradition. If you are not familiar with this, it would be worth researching a little before attending.
These events are free, however donations are gratefully accepted, as the venue costs money to rent.
