    Day 29 Lisboa to Plum Village France

    2 Mei, Perancis ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    I left at 9 from the Hostel and was at the airport by 10:15 which was great.

    My flight to Bordeaux is delayed by 40 minutes so I will have to change my train tickets to an hour later .

    It is 30 minutes from the airport to train station but I luckily caught the express bus. Then an hour to St. La Foy de Grande.

    I am on the train to La Foy de Grande. I have a fellow who is picking me up there and then driving me 30 minutes to Plum Village.

    I am going to this Buddhist Monastery called Plum Village, for a week long retreat. I will be offline as well during that time.

    This place is where Thich Nhat Hanh lived. You can Google about him. He basically was the father of the "Mindfulness Movement." He also was Tara Brach's teacher if you know her.

    " Being in the Present" by using the breath.... Mindfulness training is what I am here for.

    I arrived at 7:30 pm and missed the orientation. I will receive it tomorrow morning.

    All I heard was birds.
    It is so peaceful and quiet here out in the country.
