Our Vision

The vision of Morning Sun grew out of conversations Michael and Fern had with hundreds of people from around the world while they were living as monk and nun in Plum Village.

The vision is to build an intentional community of dedicated mindfulness practitioners who support each other through shared daily practice and live together in harmony with the earth and each other. This community is the foundation to support work for peace, justice and ecological regeneration through public programs and the actions of members.

We do not imagine we have the answers to the world’s problems. Morning Sun is an experiment in applying spiritual practices to our society’s problems and hopefully learning something that will contribute toward creating a better world.
