"...... if we open our eyes, if we open our minds, if we open our hearts, we will find that this world is a magical place.  It is magical not because it tricks us or changes unexpectedly into something else, but because it can be so vividly and brilliantly." 

           - Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

Join us for a Drala Hike to see glorious alpine wildflowers and picture perfect views of Mt Hood.  We will combine hiking with meditation and will be observing noble silence.

Bring water, lunch, a hat, sunscreen, a jacket, gas money for the driver, and a kneeling pad or something else to sit on for occasional stops for sitting or meditation. Be prepared for any kind of hiking conditions as there may still be some snow on the trail.

Meeting time: 9:00 am 

Meeting location: Portland Shambhala Center 

Total drive time: 3 hours 

Return Time: About 5:00pm.
