Plum Village
Thích Nhất Hạnh's monastery in southwestern France. Founded 1982, now the largest international Buddhist monastery in the Plum Village tradition — five hamlets, hundreds of monastics, retreats year-round in five languages. Mindfulness practised in the original way: silent meals, walking meditation between sessions, working meditation in the gardens. Open to anyone for a week or longer. The closest you can get in the West to actually living the practice rather than reading about it.
Spirit Rock Meditation Center
The West Coast home of Insight Meditation (Vipassana). Founded by Jack Kornfield, Sylvia Boorstein, James Baraz, and a small circle of teachers who studied under U Pandita and other Burmese masters. 411 acres in Marin County, California. Day-long sits, weekend retreats, month-long silent retreats. The lineage place for anyone serious about the western adaptation of the Theravada tradition.
