Calm, Ease with Sister Peace

Enjoy this lovely practice, as Sister Peace walks us gently
through a guided meditation to learn to pay attention to the
quality of our breath so that we become anchored in the feelings
of calm and ease.

This guided practice is also available on the Plum Village App
and on YouTube.

SISTER PEACE spent five years in government work before
realizing that something was missing. Feeling spiritually bereft,
she began practicing at the Washington Mindfulness Community
where she encountered the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat
Hanh. 

Compelled by his teachings, she relocated in 2006 to the Plum
Village Monastery in France to deepen her mindfulness practice
and where she was ordained a Buddhist nun in 2008, and received
the Dharma Lamp Transmission in 2017.

She has dedicated her life to bringing the practice of
mindfulness to people around the world –from educators and
teenagers to artists and politicians. In particular, Sister Peace
is interested in helping people understand the aspiration of
Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to build the
“Beloved Community.” 

Sister Peace has organized retreats in Asia, Africa, Europe and
North America; and facilitated retreats for People of Color,
Business Leaders, Silicon Valley, Educators, Artists and others.
Most recently, her heartfelt focus of service and practice has
been with the children in the Shelby County Juvenile Detention
Center – a jail for children in Memphis, Tennessee.  She is
on a virtual team offering Mindfulness and the Arts during the
COVID-19 Crisis with students at East High School in
Memphis. 

Sister Peace currently resides in Memphis, Tennessee, where she
practices Engaged Buddhism.
