Greece Sangha Service Project

Two Plum Village monastics visited Athens this month

An article written about Not A Factory and how it came to be thanks to our time together in Athens. The crowdfunding of the project is going very well! It reached 90% and has 3 more days to go. You can make it happen!! www.notafactory.com

The Light That Returns Some time ago, I watched a silly superhero movie that had some surprising wisdom. Darkness, the truest darkness, is not the absence of light. It is the conviction that the light will never return. …

DO YOU REMEMBER? As part of our crowdfunding campaign we wanted to offer a set of meditation cushions to the blooming local Wake Up sangha.

Because of your overwhelming support, we are able to realise this goal!

We have now created a project that allows for the cushion covers to be made locally, with recycled materials. Not only that, but the project will also help to empower two refugee women. They will soon be by our side to help us, by designing and creating the covers.

We have assembled all the necessary ingredients, and are ready to make it happen. Do stay tuned to see how this project will develop!

It feels as if they just arrived yesterday, but as David and Vanessa leave the Athens sangha home this week to continue their Sanghabuild project in other destinations we have come to the end of a first chapter for the Greece Sangha Service Project.

David and Vanessa- a big thank you for your incredible work, tireless efforts, your presence and persistence during the duration of the first part of this project. We would not have been able to come this far without you, and you will be dearly missed!

Thank you too to all the other participants of this project over the past 3,5 months. Your loving presence and committed volunteering efforts has touched the hearts and minds of many in the Athens community.
