Brother Dao Hanh

Brother Dao Hanh (Spiritual Action) was born in the sunny south of the Netherlands in a small town called Panningen. He was ordained as a monk in 2015 in the Redwood family. He lived for five and a half years in Plum Village France, and four and a half years in Magnolia Grove Monastery in the United States, Mississippi. He currently resides in France.

In his spare time brother Dao Hanh finds joy in creative expression like practising calligraphy or drawing, doing exercise, and drinking tea amongst other things. He has done several cycling and walking holidays before he was ordained, and has since then also participated in a couple of mindful hiking retreats in the United States.
