Blue Cliff Monastery, located in the Hudson Valley, is part of the family of monasteries founded by the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh.

This retreat falls just before the presidential inauguration and coincides with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, a time that emphasizes reflection, unity, and compassionate action. It’s an ideal moment to pause, recharge, and embody the values of mindfulness and peace that Dr. King championed. Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King Jr. were contemporaries who became spiritual brothers in their activism. During this retreat weekend we will learn about and reflect on that legacy.
