Climate Leader Retreats

It is paradoxical, but critical, that at this time of mounting stress, we intentionally create the space to listen deeply to each other, reflect calmly, and open the possibility of renewing our mode of engagement and collaboration. 

Rooted in ancient zen wisdom, our global Climate Leaders Retreats programme - delivered in partnership with the Plum Village monastics - helps participants nurture personal resilience and cultivate the mindset, insight, openness and understanding needed to address the climate crisis. 

The retreats are designed for people from all backgrounds working on climate and biodiversity - from corporate leaders and policy makers to journalists and activists. If you would like to nominate someone as a potential participant, please complete this form, or, for more information please contact us.

The Plum Village monastics also offer online courses in ‘Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet’ for those in the community who are not able to attend one of the retreats in person.
