Dumpling Making and Meditation

​Please join us for an Afternoon of Dumpling Making and Meditation, hosted by Plum Village Makati. We are a meditation group in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.

​Come spend a cozy afternoon slowing down, breathing, smiling, and making vegetarian dumplings together. We’ll begin with a short meditation to help us arrive, relax, and settle into the present moment.

​Then the fun begins. We’ll prepare vegetarian ingredients, fill wrappers, fold dumplings, and enjoy the simple joy of creating food together as a community. Whether your dumplings turn out beautiful, funny-looking, or somewhere in between, each one is part of the practice. There’s no need to be perfect, just present.

​Some parts of the dumpling making will be done in gentle silence, giving us a chance to experience cooking as meditation. Other moments will be light, friendly, and full of connection as we share the process together.

​After folding and cooking our dumplings, we’ll sit down to enjoy them with gratitude. We’ll close the afternoon with a relaxed sharing circle, where everyone is welcome to reflect, listen, and share from the heart.

​Everyone is warmly welcome. No experience with meditation or dumpling making is needed. There will be a suggested contribution of P250 to help cover ingredients.

​We look forward to spending a peaceful and joyful afternoon breathing, smiling, folding vegetarian dumplings, and enjoying good food together. 🌿🥟
