Smile, breathe
Living the Teachings: Projects with Heart
We are interested in mindfulness, compassion, mental health, and applied ethics as thought by the Buddhist Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in the Plum Village tradition.
We’re constantly creating and updating projects based on feedback and requests. The goal is to better serve the current needs of the larger community.

Thich Nhat Hanh Calligraphy
In every new tab you’ll see one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s calligraphies that serve as mindful reminders to pause, breathe and smile.
