A campaign for Plum Village France
Help us us realise our dreams and ensure Plum Village France can continue beautifully into the future. These are our aspirations:
Build a stable, resilient, and inspiring refuge for residents and guests to heal and transform suffering
Model an architecture of communal living that is harmonious, simple, ecological, and sustainable
Create more building code-compliant dorms and activity spaces for our retreats, so we can host guests year-round in an unpredictable climate
Rewild, restore, and rehydrate the land with new water management tree plantings
Establish a strong, nurturing base from which we can share our insights with a global audience online and in other ways
You can support us with a recurring or a one time donation, any help us greatly appreciated.

We cannot change the world if we’re not able to change our way of thinking, our consciousness. Collective change in our way of thinking and seeing things is crucial
Thich Nhat Hanh
What is the role of monasteries in the 21st century?
Through his many years of activism, Thich Nhat Hanh realized that the most effective way to transform the roots of violence in the world is to create communities of peace.
Only through direct experience of deep practice in community can we shift the consciousness of individuals and, ultimately, of humanity. That’s why Plum Village is committed to being a refuge for reconciliation and compassion in a divided world. It’s also why we’re working to make the Dharma as accessible as possible through online courses, our Youtube Channel, podcast, the Plum Village App, books, and many in-person events.
With your help, Plum Village will continue to serve as a home for our monastic and lay residents, a training ground for aspirants, a refuge for retreatants, a laboratory for envisioning fresh ways to share the Dharma, and a place of pilgrimage because of Thay’s indelible mark on this special place.
