A Thích Nhất Hạnh inspired candle lit evening for Connection & Renewal
Start the New Year with a mindful practice that goes beyond typical resolutions.
Beginning Anew, often implemented at Plum Village Monastery, offers a gentle, structured way to heal past hurts, express appreciation, and bring fresh beginnings to any relationship—whether with partners, family, friends, colleagues, or even casual connections.
Beginning Anew goes much deeper than conflict resolution. To begin anew is to look deeply and honestly at ourselves, our past actions, speech and thoughts and to create a fresh beginning within ourselves and in our relationships with others.
Through guided exercises, compassionate listening, and kind speech, you’ll experience:
• Flower Watering: sharing appreciation and noticing the strengths of others
• Sharing Regrets: mindfully acknowledging past missteps
• Expressing Hurts & Asking for Support: creating understanding and compassionate connection
Leave with practical tools and timeless wisdom to bring more harmony, clarity, and renewal into all your relationships in the year ahead.
