Dear Distinguished Friends,

You are cordially invited to an international retreat and symposium with beloved Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh at the American School of London. It will take place from March 30 - April 2, 2012; we kindly ask you to save the date!

Key stakeholders from all levels of the education system - teachers, administrators and policy makers - are invited to attend to offer diverse perspectives in a joyful atmosphere. During this non-residential event, we will embark on a learning journey of self-care and reflective dialogue to inspire innovative action in education systems around the world.

The event offers a unique opportunity to practice mindfulness with and learn from internationally respected peace activist and teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. Participants will learn practical tools and mindful methods for educators, including how to form and sustain mindful communities in schools, universities, and at home. Through silence, self-care and awareness of body and mind, we hope to inspire clear thinking and action. We will explore first-hand the challenges and opportunities in education across nations, and ways we can work together to address them.

Space is limited, and preference will be given to those registering as teams from various parts of international education systems (for example, a team of Teacher/ Head of School/ Department of Education Official or similar combinations).

Registration will be available soon at:
