Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet
August 20, 2026
Feeling overwhelmed? Powerless? Doubting you can really make a difference? You are not alone!
Thich Nhat Hahn witnessed his homeland torn apart through war and spent nearly 40 years in exile because he called for peace. He learned to transform his suffering into engaged action, finding a way to care that didn’t destroy him. His teachings are at the heart of a 7-week course Plum Village is offering, which is aimed at transforming our fear and despair into strength, joy, and collection action.
This course is online and called, Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet. Click here to learn more, watch a trailer for the course, and register!
