How can we handle the feelings of dread, loneliness and anger within us and around us? There is no “back to normal” in such an uncertain and complex world, so let’s not go back, let’s come together to build a more compassionate future.

The Wake Up Earth Retreat online is being held in collaboration with Deer Park, Blue Cliff Monastery, Magnolia Monastery and Plum Village.

This year there will be two parallel Wake Up Earth retreats happening in Plum Village, France and in Deer Park Monastery.

There will be two live sessions where we can tap into the global Wake Up energy through the Five Mindfulness Trainings Transmission ceremony and the closing Be-In session at the end.

For US times zones you can register for the retreat here.

If you live in Europe, Africa, or Asia there is a separate but parallel Wake Up retreat organized by Plum Village Monastery where the schedule might suit your time zone better. You can register with Plum Village here.

Dear friends, we recognize that young people can face quite specific issues due to where they are at in their life stage. Therefore we would like to give priority and support to those in their 20s & 30s in this retreat.
