Co-organized by: Center for Religious and Spirituality Education, EUHK, email: crse@eduhk.hk. Plum Village Mindfulness Academy, email: aiab@pvfhk.org. Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village community recognize the importance of creating sustainable and lasting programs in schools that maintain the happiness and well-being of teachers, administrators, students, and parents. We care about your personal well-being and happiness, and believe that this is essential in creating a favorable learning environment. In our extensive work with educators around the world, we have seen that when the teacher is personally supported by mindfulness practice, the positive impact is naturally transmitted into the classroom. Target: all education professionals, students, and parents are welcome, regardless of your religous background and teaching experience.

You are invited to Friday Night Practice. Our mind has a habit of running, not being able to be present in the here and now. Mindfulness is the kind of energy we generate when we bring our mind back to our body and be aware of what is going on in the present moment, in us and around us. Every two weeks there is Friday Night Practice, we have a chance to practice Mindfulness together with others in the community. We can generate a powerful collective energy that can bring healing and transformation in ourselves and the world. The Friday Night Practice is held on the 1st & 3rd Friday of each month in Central. However, due to COVID-19, we will be continuing the practice online. There is no experience or fee required. Please be invited to arrive 10 minutes earlier so that we are able to settle down, relax our body and mind.
