followed by presentations from participants offering a personal insight on the topic,
Dialogues in breakout rooms and a plenary exchange.

The topics covered:

• a short lecture sharing two mindful trainings of Plum Village community, founder by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, specifically the Eight and Ninth trainings of the 14 mindfulness trainings.
• offering some specific examples of practice and experience
• showcasing the art of  active listening trainings implemented by Eugenio in french prisons (part of the national non-violence plan of the penitentiary administration) by training carefully selected prisoners. These prisoners are accompanying co-prisoners and by listening (and helping eventually), they act as emotional co-regulators and diminish the violence.

• The 14 Mindfulness trainings, a way of practicing harmoniously in community followed by residents at all of the international monastic practice centers in the Plum Village tradition.
