Getting Started
At the Shambhala Center of Portland, we practice and teach
mindfulness-awareness meditation,
as it has been passed from teacher to student for 2500 years.
We offer meditation instruction free of charge at the beginning
of our regular Tuesday evening practice from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
and at the beginning of our Sunday morning meditation from 9am to 12pm on the first and third Sundays of each month.
