My wife and I are interested in going to Plum Village in France next year for retreat and meditation program.

Has anyone been there or know anyone who's been there? We've looked at the website at http://www.plumvillage.org/, but would be interested in any personal experience if available, either here or by PM.

Thank you.

No I haven't. But you might want to go to this site:

www.e-sangha.com

It is a forum with a lot of info about Buddhism and there is a least one permanent discussion about meditation retreats and such. You will probably find someone there who has been to a retreat that you mentioned.

You need to register in order to post a question on the forum. It has a lot of good information and dicussions about Buddhism.

Many thanks, IMAFARANG. I did as you suggested and found a thread with the same question as mine. It was quite helpful. If people are interested it's at http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php...c=51961&hl=

Hi,

I have been there.

I assume you have read some books from Thich Nhath Han (probably wrongly spelled).

The life in Plum village is very much according to Thich Nhath Han written dhamma.

I was happily surprised that the Sangha in Plum village practise what they preach.

Have fun

Thank you Arjen

I'm already checking the PV website and websites for travel and making plans in my head.

Probably fly to London, Eurostar to Paris and train to the point where they pick you up.

My wife is keen and I think we'll go for two weeks. I'll start formally arranging things later this year.

Cheers
