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.

Upcoming Programs:



Giving Birth to Death
August 16th - August 30th
