SUMMARY:Retreat with EIAB monastics 2026
DESCRIPTION:Seeing life through the eyes of compassion\nDear friend\,\nInterbeing Denmark is happy to invite you to our second Plum Village retreat in Denmark with the topic “seeing life through the eyes of compassion” 9th – 12th of July 2026. \nCharacteristic practices of the Plum Village tradition that we will practice during our time together: mindful breathing\, walking meditation\, sitting and eating in mindfulness\, Dharma talks\, Qi Gong\, deep relaxation\, guided and silent meditation and Dharma sharing. These practices will support us in deepening our capacity to listen with compassion and to meet ourselves and others with kindness and care. \nThe best part of a retreat is the peaceful atmosphere which we reach through our joint aspirations and practice. The collected Dharma body and spirit is the beautiful result of us all joining in mindful practice and can be felt in our cells long after the retreat is over. The retreat environment is an easy place to be mindful and to smile! \nThe retreat will be facilitated by Dharma teachers Thay Phap An and Sister Song Nghiem from the European Institute of Applied\nBuddhism and supported by our local monk Thay Phap Tru. \nThe retreat will be held in English. You are warmly welcome! \nDharma Teachers\nBrother Thay Phap An is Abbot and Dean of the European Institute of Applied Buddhism (EIAB) in Germany\, and one of the eldest disciples of venerable Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Brother Phap An began leading retreats with Thich Nhat Hanh in 1995 and has since then led retreats the world over. Brother Phap An has also studied different forms of Qi Gong and Tai Chi. He delights in sharing his knowledge with retreat participants. \nSister Song Nghiem is also active in EIAB and has been a Dharma teacher for 20 years. Sister Song Nghiem possesses deep profound knowledge of Buddhism\, mindfulness and Tai Chi. She is a rare source of warmth and joy. She was first appointed as a lay Dharma Teacher in 2003\, and in 2012 she once again received the Dharma teacher lamp\, this time as a nun. \nBrother Thay Phap Tru is our local Dharma teacher in Denmark. Thay Phap Tru was ordained together with Thay Phap An in 1994 as part of the eldest disciples. Thay Phap Tru lived in Plum Village and held retreats worldwide with Thich Nhat Hanh before returning to Denmark where he facilitates both traditional Vietnamese and Plum Village practices. \n  \nFive Mindfulness Transmission\nWe offer the opportunity for you to commit to or renew your commitment to practice the Five Mindfulness Trainings in a formal ceremony held early morning on the Sunday of the retreat. If you wish to take the Five Mindfulness Trainings\, please let us know before 1st of June. You will then be invited to write a short aspiration to inspire Thay Phap Tru in forming your Dharma Name. There will be an option for last-minute aspirators also during the retreat. Taking or renewing the Five Mindfulness Trainings surrounded by your local community with the depth of the Dharma flowing from the EIAB monastics is a truly unique opportunity. The Five Mindfulness Trainings are a concrete expression of the Buddha’s teachings. They represent a way to bring mindfulness into every area of life. Rather than hard and fast rules\, they offer us a path to cultivate and develop actions of body\, speech and mind that can create a more healthy and compassionate world. \nContact:\nIf you have any thoughts or questions\, please let us know at retreat@interbeing.dk \nDownload information sheet \nRegistration
