Retreats
In addition to its weekly gatherings, SnowFlower encourages practitioners to attend retreats hosted by SnowFlower and Plum Village monasteries and practice centers. Retreats are an opportunity to enjoy living simply and cultivate the energy of mindfulness. Participants discover that attending retreats nourishes their practice, deepens their awareness of the present moment and cultivates compassion and kindness toward themselves and others.
SnowFlower offers retreat scholarships to participants who would like to attend the SnowFlower retreats, regional retreats in the Plum Village tradition and visits/retreats to national Plum Village Monasteries. To request a scholarship, fill out the Request for Scholarship Assistance from SnowFlower to Attend a Retreat form and email it to scholarships@snowflower.org.
