You are warmly invited to participate in a week-long silent retreat at Dharma Mountain, guided by monastics and lay Dharma teachers from Plum Village. This retreat is for an international audience.
The world is becoming increasingly busy, filled with distractions and noise all around us — but also within us. This Retreat will offer you the opportunity to return to your inner calm by letting go of external distractions, such as conversations, mobile phones and other media.
The Dharma Mountain practice center is already located in a setting of deep silence, surrounded by ancient mountains, interrupted only by the songs of birds and the sound of the wind in the pines. This healthy environment and the simplicity of the center will encourage the deep listening we need in order to hear our deepest aspirations for our life.
All retreat activities will be guided by monastic teachers or lay dharma teachers. After an introduction to the week's practice, the Retreat will unfold with sessions of silent sitting, mindful walking on mountain trails and group sharing.
Important information:
- All teachings and guided meditations are in English, Dharma sharings will be in English and French.
- This Retreat is only offered to those who have already attended a Plum Village Retreat, or in the tradition of Plum Village.
Participants are required to attend all activities and to practice noble silence throughout the Retreat. We are looking forward to welcome you in Dharma Mountain!
Registration will be open on 14 April 2026 at 5PM! here
