Matcha workshop at the Zen temple, Plum Village in France

I came to one of the largest Zen temples in Europe to participate in a 7-day mindfulness retreat. The scale of the event was amazing, with 1,000 people from 20 countries gathering in the first week alone. During the event, I was blessed with the opportunity to give a Matcha workshop. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Sister Chai Trai Nghiem Akemi Uchida. 🙏

I showed my group mindfulness matcha, too.

 

We drove 1000 km from Zurich to the Plum Village in East France. It was worth it!
