Mountain Spring Monastery was established by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh
to share the practice of mindful living.
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU

Mountain Spring Monastery is a place to quiet the mind, look deeply, and enjoy the wonders of life within and around us through the practices of sitting meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, deep relaxation meditation, and sharing togetherness. We invite all who wish to cultivate peace and happiness in their lives to plan a visit — for a day or for a retreat.
COME HOME
We welcome you to Visit this peaceful oasis.
With advance notice, we are open most days for visits, and you can practice along with the residential community's schedule.
In common with all Plum Village centers worldwide, Mountain Spring Monastery is closed on Mondays.

A DAY OF MINDFULNESS & SPECIAL EVENTS
Enjoy a Day of Peace and Practice – Sundays
Join the monastics of Mountain Spring for a relaxing a rejuvenating Day of Mindfulness - a day in which we come back home to ourselves, relax, and cultivate the energy of mindfulness together as a community.
Each Sunday is different - typically we begin at 10am with a welcoming tea and mindfulness reflection which sets the theme for the day, followed by sitting and walking meditation in the ancient forest, a vegetarian mindful lunch, and a discussion or other activity in the afternoon concluding at approx 3pm.
The 1st Sunday of the month we will recite the Five Mindfulness Trainings, the 3rd Sunday of the Month we will recite the 14 Mindfulness Trainings.
*Note* Due to COVID social distancing requirements, we currently need to limit attendees.

Help us Build a Mountain - Wednesdays & Saturdays
Help us Build a Mountain - Wednesdays & Saturdays
At this moment in time, having begun in a small and humble way to establish ourselves in this place, focusing on practice energy, connecting with the local community, then offering small weekly days of mindfulness, now is the time when we would really need some regular help with ongoing projects to transform Mountain Spring into a practice center.
Therefore, each Wednesday and alternating Saturdays from 10am-3pm we would love for you to come up and support the ongoing projects around the monastery.
*Note* Due to COVID social distancing requirements, we currently need to limit attendees.
