Learn the accessible and deeply compassionate practices for healing trauma, drawing on the Five Strengths of applied Zen Buddhism from mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem, MD. More than a philosophy, these body-based practices are backed by modern neuroscience research, and they can be applied by anyone suffering from trauma to begin experiencing relief.

The older people as well as the young people have come together with all the love and all the hope in order to build this Deer Park Monastery. In my eyes, this is a great monument. When we do things with all our love and all our hope, then even though it’s not visible, it is something real that we can see with our mindfulness. - Spoken by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 2000 (excerpt from "The Day I Turn Twenty") Dear Friends of the Monastery,... We know that you are there and we are grateful. Deer Park would not be the monastery that it is today without you. Here in the present moment, the brothers and sisters would like to offer you a gift for being a part of this 2oth year of Deer Park.
