Discover Mindfulness-Awareness Meditation

Meditation in Shambhala

If you want to experience the benefits of meditation and are looking for community to enrich your practice, Shambhala could be the place for you.

Meditation practice uncovers the natural state of the human mind—at rest, open, and alert. Practicing meditation regularly helps your mind relax and settle and develops your inherent qualities of stability, clarity, and mental strength. In Shambhala, meditation begins on the cushion and can permeate your whole life.

Our community programs offer ways to practice meditation on and off the cushion. You can jump into a meditation class with an experienced meditation instructor. Drop into an online practice session to share practice and conversation with other meditators. Celebrate equinoxes and solstices. And when the weather is nice, you can join a meditative hike.
