Wake Up (18-35)

Wake Up is a global community of young mindfulness practitioners, aged 18-35, inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. Groups meet in person and online to practice sitting and walking meditation, listen to Dharma talks, listen deeply to one another, and recite the Five Mindfulness Trainings. They also organize visits to Plum Village practice centers, music evenings, picnics, hikes, and other special events and engaged action.

“We must rebel against the forces that lead to a meaningless and illusory life. The secret is knowing how to rebel. There are ways of rebelling which only create more bondage and suffering. However, there are ways of rebelling that can offer us real freedom.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh
