    Day 2 Mindfullness Day New Hamlet

    May 4 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    So 5 am wake up.
    Today we had a chanted meditation and an early breakfast at 7 am .

    We then were transported up to New Hamlet in vans to join the other 2 Hamlet's for Mindfullness Day. All of the Hamlet's gather twice per week Sundays and Thursdays alternating Hamlet's.

    There are 3 Hamlet's:

    New Hamlet ( don't know)
    Lower Hamlet (women)
    Upper Hamlet (men)

    Honestly I figured out there must have been 200 participants.

    The meditation hall was packed.

    We sat for a Dhamma talk which lasted an hour and a half.

    Then walking meditation and lunch.

    We arrived back at our " Lower Hamlet" at 4:30.

    Dinner was at the usual time.

    We had a Lazy Night which I will explain tomorrow😉🤗
