Why Another Practice Center?
To provide a space for daily practice on how to take care of not only our spiritual health, but our physical health as well, as routinely taught and practiced at all of our Health Retreats. Here are some of the highlights of our practice center:
✓ Realize the long-standing vision of our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh to have a Health Center in the Plum Village tradition.
✓ Practicing total control of the food we eat and follow a health supportive diet (light vegan meals).
✓ Develop our awareness of the interdependence between the various food we consume, our body, our mind and the environment we are living in.
✓ Inclusion of specific daily practices to strengthen and heal our physical and mental health into the spiritual practice of our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh .
✓ Peaceful and natural environment with authentic living conditions which are highly conducive for our spiritual practice.
✓ Wholesome amount of daily physical exercise (gardening, walking, chi gong, tai chi and many others).
✓ Grow our own food by applying the principles and methodologies of organic agriculture and permaculture.
✓ Fulfill our conviction of "Strict Wastelessness" by optimizing our financial and material resources, eliminating waste and recycling consumer goods and natural resources.
✓ Forge close links with the nearby community and support it actively (community development).
✓ Flexible venue designed to cater for various residential programs-workshops and health-focused practices and activities from other spiritual traditions (don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to organize an event at Suan Sompou).
✓ Full accountability in maintaining open accounts of income and expenses.
