Retreat Registration

The Summit Retreat Center, Greensboro, NC

"Sangha is not a small drop of water. Sangha is a river. Only a river can go to the sea. And we have to be one with the sangha." Thich Nhat Hanh

During this retreat, we will learn the true Joy of mindfulness, the ease of the practice and the depth of the transformation that can occur when we are surrounded by a Sangha [community]. We will sit in meditation together, walk mindfully outdoors, enjoy tea, and discuss the art of mindful living in daily life. We will reduce our talking by 90 percent and enjoy silent meals to help us be aware of the elements of peace in ourselves, in our loved ones, and in our surroundings.

Chan Huy, "True Radiance," comes from a family with four generations of Thich Nhat Hanh's students, from his grandmother to his two children. He was ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh as a Dharma Teacher in 1994. He teaches mindfulness meditation and leads retreats throughout North America.

If you have wanted to hear Thich Nhat Hanh in person but have not been able to do so, Chan Huy can give you a taste of that experience. He is among the most accomplished and articulate of Thich Nhat Hanh’s lay Dharma Teachers. You will know from his presence that he embodies the practice of mindfulness.

The cost of the retreat ranges from $235 to $305 depending on the type of room that you select. . Meals will be vegetarian. The number of people we can accommodate at the retreat is limited and space is available on a first-come first-serve basis, so please register as soon as possible.

Check-in begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 9, 2003 with dinner being served at 6pm. The retreat will conclude mid-afternoon on Sunday, May 11, 2003.
