About Joyful Garden
Joyful Garden Sangha is a lay community of practice following Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village tradition. The community was formed in 2008 by a group of friends who were inspired by the practice of mindfulness. In Sep-2010, they received Thay (teacher in Vietnamese) and the Plum Village sangha in Singapore for an exlusive retreat under his guidance. The group has since organised "days of mindfulness", which are weekly practices and retreats to share the art of mindful living with more people.
