This weekend is intended for anyone who has served on a retreat staff in the past, as well as for those who may be interested in serving on staff in the future.
We ask that you have attended at least one mindfulness retreat in the Plum Village tradition, and have received the Five Mindfulness Trainings. A solid practice is an essential quality for anyone serving on staff.
We will work together to build and grow our staff sangha, so that we are better able to support more retreats at Blue Cliff. We know that when we bring our mindful presence and skillful work to these retreats, we are supporting the collective energy of the entire community. Payment is on a donation basis with a minimum request of $25 for the weekend.
Blue Cliff Monastery, located in Pine Bush, NY, is a mindfulness practice center and monastic training center founded by the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author, and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay).
