In June 2024, Mindful Breath Sangha hosted a Mindfulness Retreat in Athens led by six monastics from Magnolia Grove Monastery. This is a monastery located in Mississippi that is under the auspices of Plum Village Monastery in France—the first western monastery started by Thich Nhat Hanh. The retreat took place over four days. The monastics led retreatants in sitting and walking meditations, dharma lessons, discussions and other activities.
