Today we celebrate the 90th birthday of our beloved friend, teacher, and author Satish Kumar.

For decades, Satish has invited us to remember a simple yet profound truth: we are not separate from one another, nor from the living Earth that sustains us. His words continue to inspire generations to cultivate a way of living rooted in care, interconnection, and what he calls radical love.

“We are not apart from Nature. We are Nature.”

A couple of weeks ago, we had the joy of being with Satish at the Radical Love retreat at Being Peace Practice Centre, the new Plum Village practice center in the United Kingdom, where he shared his wisdom, warmth, and generous spirit with all who gathered.

As we celebrate this special day, we offer our gratitude for Satish’s life, teachings, and ongoing continuation in the hearts and actions of so many people around the world.

His books, Soil, Soul, Society and Radical Love, are available at parallax.org and through your favorite bookstore. The seeds of Satish’s vision can also be found in Resurgence magazine, celebrating 60 years this year, and in the enduring legacy of Schumacher College which he co-founded and helped cultivate for generations of ecological thinkers and changemakers.

Happy continuation day, Satish. 🌿

Our Kickstarter campaign for The Plum Village Cookbook has come to a close, and our hearts are full of gratitude.

Together, we reached 161% of our funding goal, helping bring this book into the world and far beyond what we first imagined. Thank you to everyone who supported, shared, encouraged, and celebrated this project with us. Your enthusiasm for mindful cooking, nourishing food, and community has been deeply moving.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more glimpses from the cookbook as we prepare for its journey from our kitchen to yours.

If you supported the campaign, you should have received a message from Kickstarter asking you to complete your backer survey. If you haven’t filled it out yet, please take a moment to do so. This is how we collect your shipping information and make sure your book and rewards find their way to you.

Thank you for helping make this project possible. We can’t wait to share these recipes, stories, and practices with you.

What becomes possible when we stop trying to force peak performance and learn instead to meet each moment with awareness?

In The Mindful Athlete, George Mumford shares the mindfulness practices that supported some of the world’s most accomplished athletes, including Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Grounded in presence rather than pressure, his approach invites us to discover focus, resilience, and freedom in the midst of challenge.

Now released in a revised second edition with new stories, new practices, and fresh reflections, this book is for athletes, artists, leaders, and anyone exploring what it means to bring their whole self to what they love.

The Mindful Athlete is now available at parallax.org and through your favorite bookstore.

“The separation between myself and what I see begins to blur as a new world unfolds beneath, around and within me.”

In Between Earth and Sky, Jo Confino invites us into a journey of looking deeply. Through intimate macro photography and reflective writing, ordinary landscapes become places of wonder, revealing the subtle connections between loss and renewal, self and world.

Rooted in one hundred days of observation and presence in the deserts of Oaxaca, this visual meditation is an invitation to slow down and discover the quiet beauty that is always here.

Between Earth and Sky is now available at parallax.org and through your favoritee bookstore.

Vietnamese vegan cuisine is profoundly sensory and engages all five of our human senses. Sound is engaged by audible freshness, for example, the crunch of lettuce or the crackle of sesame as found in the simple chopped salad bar from the Plum Village Cookbook. This interplay of textures makes a meal feel abundant and satisfying—with no need for animal products.
