'The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. 
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they bloom like flowers.' 
Thich Nhat Hanh

This five day family retreat in Nottingham will explore how mindfulness and meditation practice can support our daily lives, teaching us how to live in the present moment, bringing about peace in ourselves and affecting the people around us in a busy and changing world.

We welcome the participation of people of all ages, faiths and backgrounds. Thich Nhat Hanh especially welcomes families, children and young people. There will be programmes for children (age 6-13) and teenagers (age 13-18), led by monks, nuns and lay practitioners, with help from parents. There will also be an optional Wake Up programme for young people (age roughly 16-30). Children under 6 are welcome to join the retreat under the care of a parent or guardian; there will be a playroom for the use of these children with their parents.

In this retreat we will learn and practise ways of living mindfully in each moment of our daily life.
