Sometimes These Things Happen & Other Lessons From Plum Village
About this episode
Dr. Diana Hill shares how retreat helps clarify where your energy is aligned or depleted, drawing on her family’s annual week at Plum Village, a Buddhist Monastery founded by Thich Nhat Hahn. When you go on retreat, you come back to yourself and things become more clear for you about how you want to use your energy, about where you're off track, where you're out of alignment. Listen to this episode to hear five lessons she learned from Plum Village that you can apply to your daily life right now.
Listen and learn:
- Lesson One Let Yourself Cry
- Lesson Two Sometimes Happens
- Lesson Three Missing Instrument
- Lesson Four Disease Purifies
- Lesson Five Movement Has Life
If this episode helps, share it with someone whose energy is misaligned and drained.
