The best first-aid for your irritated mind in isolation! The Plum Village in Hong Kong is perfect to go for that. It is kind of a monastic village, which is a branch of the Plum Village Meditation Centre in Southwest France. It’s the largest Buddhist Monastery in Europe. The mountains of Lantau Island add a stunning backdrop to the place. Its Lotus Pond Temple provides a free space to master mindfulness. Friday nights are usually full of individuals who are looking for more casual commitments. Other days are featured with special programs for youth and families.

This retreat requires a high level of discipline from the participants. You should get away from technology, coloured clothes and outside food until you leave the place.
