Last fall I began brainstorming facilitating a class on the young Thich Nhat Hanh. After his passing last week and tonight’s Share the Wealth community expressing our gratitude for his teachings, I thought I’d go ahead with it!
I can pull together some works from the first half of his life, including poetry, journals, early mindfulness teachings for his social work students in Vietnam, as well as a recent book by U.S. activist and author Jim Forest on his friendship with Nhat Hanh beginning in the 1960s. Let me know if you are interested, and, if even two people want to do this over several weeks, I will happily work out the specifics soon.
