Plum Village (France): mindfulness retreats
Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism
Thénac (Dordoña), Nueva Aquitania, Francia
Plum Village is the monastery Thich Nhat Hanh founded in south-west France in 1982 and the heart of the practice community that bears its name. Its hamlets welcome lay visitors from around the world alongside the monks and nuns who live there. The day revolves around sitting and walking meditation, silent meals, Dharma talks, total relaxation and small-group sharing. It is the place where his understanding of practice is most tangible: not an isolated technique but a way of living each everyday gesture in community, with mindfulness as the thread running through work, rest and meals.

Sri Ramanasramam is the ashram that grew around Ramana Maharshi at the foot of Arunachala, the sacred hill of Tiruvannamalai, where he lived until his death in 1950. Today it preserves his samadhi shrine, the old hall where he received visitors and his mother's shrine, and keeps the daily chanting and routine. It does not run courses or guided retreats: the ashram makes itself available as a simple home for anyone who wishes to sit in silence and practise the enquiry Who am I. It provides rooms and South Indian meals to visitors from all over the world.

Giri pradakshina: walking around Arunachala
Sri Ramanasramam (información) · Arulmigu Arunachaleswarar Temple
Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India
Giri pradakshina is the walking circuit of about fourteen kilometres around Arunachala, the hill Ramana Maharshi regarded as the visible form of the Self. It is walked clockwise, keeping the mountain on one's right, past the temples, tanks and lingams that mark the route. Ramana recommended it to everyone: go round the hill once and you will see that it attracts you, he told one devotee, and to the elderly or unwell he simply said they could go slowly. Sri Ramanasramam explains the meaning of the practice on its website, along with the places on the path connected to the teacher.
