Hey there everybody!

11+ of us at Wake Up London are running 10K in Battersea Park on the 18th June 2023 and raising money to support the creation of a Plum Village Mindfulness Practice Centre in the U.K. !

For those of you that don't know about mindfulness in the Plum Village Tradition it is described as 'being aware of what is happening inside and around you in the present moment. The key Plum Village teaching is that, through mindfulness, we can learn to live happily in the present moment—as a way to truly develop peace, both in one's self and in the world.'

For many of us becoming part of Wake Up London - attending the afternoons of mindfulness and being part of the community (or Sangha as we call it ) has been completely life transforming and of huge positive benefit to our lives and the lives of those around us!

We feel so lucky to have found a practice and a community which has helped us through challenging times in our lives, given us deep insight into ourselves and others, an understanding of what really nourishes and us and provided so many happy moments together of joy and wellbeing!

That is why with the conditions now right for the creation of a new UK Practice Centre, we want to seize this opportunity to give something back and by support this effort so that more people in the UK have the opportunity to practice mindfulness and discover it's benefits!

So please support us on our run on the 18th June and donate here !
