Health and Wellness Retreats – September 2012

Dear Friends
This is a message from Jeanie Seward-Magee re. the Residential Retreat for Health and Wellness at Rivendell on Bowen Island as well as a non-residential one in Vancouver.  If you are interested, please contact Jeanie at : jeaniesewardmagee[at]yahoo[dot]com.
 
Dear Vancouver Sangha Friends,
 
Six monastics, in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, from Plum Village in France are visiting Canada this summer and are willing to come to Vancouver to lead some Health and Wellness Retreats.
 
I am putting this out only to our Vancouver Sangha friends first, as there are only 22 beds at Rivendell available to us. If you wish to register for this Retreat, please email me back asap.  Thanks.
 
I would also ask that you please pass this email onto everyone in your community who you feel may be interested, so they may get in touch with me. Thanks.

 

 
Three Nights/Four Days Residential Health and Wellness Retreat:
 
Where:     Rivendell Retreat Centre on Bowen Island –  http://www.rivendellretreat.org/
 
When:      Friday Sept 7 from 3 p.m until Monday Sept 9 after lunch. 
(And for those who may wish to have a longer/personal retreat time, a few rooms are available on Thurs. Sept 6.)
 
What:       A Mindful Health and Wellness Retreat in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.
 
Who:        Facilitated by Thay’s monastics from Plum Village.
 
How Much:  Four nights accommodation at Rivendell Retreat Centre $160 per person + Dana.
 
Bring your own vegetarian food for breakfast and lunch, plus one large Vegetarian Supper Dish for 10-12 persons.
 
 
Also a NON-Residential Two and a Half Day Health and Wellness Retreat at a Central Vancouver location led by monastics of Thich Nhat Hanh.  $120 + Dana.
 
Thursday evening September 13 from 6 p.m. to 9.00 p.m AND
 all day Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
 
Both these retreats are not for profit. The residential retreat costs only cover Rivendell’s daily expenses.  The non-Residential price covers only the cost of the hall and the balance of the monies will go towards the monastics air fares.
Dana is the practice of giving generously for teachings.
