About the host
Fabrice Blée practiced Tibetan Buddhism for seven years alongside his theology studies. Later, he was introduced to Zen meditation at the Rinzai monastery in Ryutaku-ji in Japan, where he stayed for several months. He also practiced vipassana meditation in India and Canada during retreats offered by Goenka-ji. But what especially holds his attention is the prayer of simplicity found in various traditions, notably with Madame Guyon in Christianity.
Since 2006, he has led many meditation retreats in Canada:
. 75 one-day silent meditation retreats from 2006 to 2019 at the Ermitage de Champboisé in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
. 5 three-day silent meditation retreats from 2006 to 2018 at the Ermitage de Champboisé in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.
. 3 silent meditation retreats of seven days from 2007 to 2019 at the Ermitage de Champboisé in Gatineau in Quebec Canada.
