Plum Village Tradition • Washington, DC

A mindfulness community for young people practicing in the spirit of Thich Nhat Hanh and Plum Village. We gather to breathe, sit, walk, and listen deeply together.

Monk in meditation

Practice together, calmly and simply

You do not need to be “good at meditation” or have any background in Buddhism to join us. Wake Up DC is open to anyone who wishes to touch more peace, understanding, and compassion in their life.

Online gatherings

We meet on Discord for guided sitting, deep relaxation, and sharing from the heart.

Local meetups

When possible, we host in-person circles in the DC area for walking meditation and tea.

Rooted in Plum Village

Our practices are inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village monastic community, adapted to our everyday lives.
