Offered in collaboration with Concord-Carlisle Adult & Community Education

In this insightful experiential course, we’ll explore the wisdom teachings of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, and engage in ancient meditative practices that remain relevant today. Learn about Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing and Plum Village Tradition—and why Martin Luther King, Jr. nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. Experiment with the mindful wellness practices he advocates to activate natural feelings of compassion, ease struggles by training our attention, and cultivate equanimity.

“Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have
them, you are compelled to act.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
