SUMMARY:Armistice Day Weekend Retreat: Continuing Our Lineage of Peace and Writing
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to register for the Armistice Day Writing Retreat held at the Quaker Center in Ben Lomond\, California (80 miles from the Bay Area)\, Nov. 7-10\, 2025.  \n\n\n\nThis retreat has historically been called the “Veterans Day Retreat.” It was started by a group of veterans and writers several decades ago. The current organizers are not veterans\, but we aspire to carry forward the flame of peace and inspiration started by that group. \n\n\n\nRegistration link   \n\n\n\nRetreat theme: “Continuing Our Lineage of Peace and Writing” \n\n\n\nOur intention is to make this retreat an inclusive\, restorative\, safe space for practicing mindfulness together\, along with space to work on our own writing or other creative projects.  \n\n\n\nThe program will offer the opportunity to experience many Plum Village practices: silent meditation each morning and evening\, Dharma talks\, walking meditation and mindful movement practice\, eating meals mindfully together\, Dharma sharing in small groups (see the description on this page)\, and other activities. We will observe noble silence from after the evening program until the end of lunchtime the next day. In the afternoons and evenings\, there will be time for mindful conversation.  \n\n\n\nQuaker Center is a beautiful retreat among the redwoods and oak trees in the hills above Santa Cruz. It is a quiet\, peaceful location where the Plum Village community has been holding retreats for many years.  \n\n\n\nDate/Time: The retreat will begin Friday\, November 7 at 6pm PT and end Monday\, November 10\, 2025 after lunch.  \n\n\n\nThere will also be a writing workshop facilitated by Maxine Hong Kingston from 10am – 4pm on Friday\, November 7. You can register for the retreat alone\, the workshop alone\, or for both.   \n\n\n\nRetreat meals will be provided by the wonderful chef Tod Nysether\, starting Friday evening through Monday lunch. \n\n\n\nTeachers: We are excited that Maxine Hong Kingston and Wendy Johnson have agreed to be our dharma teachers for this retreat\, with Maxine leading an additional writing workshop during the day on Friday!  \n\n\n\nEarll Kingston\, Maxine Hong Kingston\, and Wendy Johnson at the 2024 Veteran’s Day retreat. \n\n\n\nCosts: The cost of the retreat will vary by sleeping arrangement.  \n\n\n\n\nFor a room with 2 beds the cost per person will be $500 for the entire retreat\, food included. \n\n\n\nFor a dorm room that sleeps 4-6\, or for tent campers\, the cost will be $375 per person for the entire retreat\, food included. \n\n\n\nWe are happy to be able to offer some scholarships for BIPOC\, Wake Up\, and Veteran retreatants. Scholarships of 25% or 50% are available. \n\n\n\n\nThe workshop will cost $60\, and will help fund scholarships to the retreat. We also welcome donations to the scholarship fund. \n\n\n\nRegistration link: https://forms.gle/84xwNZwJYEYpGjgy5  \n\n\n\nPlease fill out the information requested in this Google Form by Friday October 10. Sophie\, Miles\, Melanie\, and Dylan will review all completed registration forms and confirm your registration by Friday\, October 17. At this time\, we will send details on payment and lodging. \n\n\n\nWe aspire to create a retreat body that represents the diversity of the many people and communities practicing in the Plum Village lineage\, including race/ethnicity\, age\, and gender\, with an aspiration to have 50% people of color and 50% young people at our gathering. Please be patient with us as we do our best to accommodate your needs and to create the conditions for a supportive and inclusive space. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about registration\, you are welcome to email Sophie Landau (sophiel42@gmail.com) or Melanie Gin (melaniegin1@gmail.com).

SUMMARY:Paramita movie screening
DESCRIPTION:The short film Paramita has been selected to show at the Mill Valley Film Festival! Paramita is a short film by fellow practitioner Kirthi Nath about OI member Prajna Paramita Choudhury‘s coming out journey\, intergenerational healing\, and the transformational power of mindfulness practice. \n\n\n\nPracticing in the Plum Village tradition is a big part of this film\, and it would be wonderful if folks from our practice community could make it out for the Bay Area premiere.  \n\n\n\nIt will be part of the Freedom Shorts program on Saturday\, October 5 at 3:00 pm and Wednesday\, October 9 at 3:30 pm in San Rafael.  \n\n\n\nTickets go on sale to the general public on September 18 @ 4 pm\, and they may sell out.  \n\n\n\nIf you can’t make it to the Bay Area premiere*\, we hope there will be other opportunities in the future\, but likely not until next year. If you know about a film festival\, event\, conference\, school or community organization that may want to screen Paramita\, please contact paramitafilmdirector@gmail.com. Screening updates will be posted on the film website\, https://www.paramitafilm.com. You can sign up to receive updates and can also support the film – it takes a lot to make a film\, and then to get it out into the world!  Thanks in advance. \n\n\n\nHope to see you there\,  \n\n\n\nPrajna \n\n\n\n*There will be a New York City premiere in September!
