Shambhala Meditation Daylong Retreats

February 14 @ 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
Event Series (See All)
$50 – $100

Please join us in February (and again in April and June) to learn more about and to practice the Shambhala teachings. Beginners welcome!

We will convene for 2 Saturdays in February to study and practice simple yet profound meditation teachings and practices from the ancient Tibetan teachings of Shambhala transmitted to western students by Chogyam Trungpa. Learn to meditate, and to develop three main qualities: gentleness, fearlessness and clear seeing. Centered on the notion of basic goodness, these practical and beautiful teachings are meant for times that may be easy and also especially for times that are unsettling and difficult. They describe how people can actually make use of fear, sadness and the human capacity for resilience to access an open awareness that is clear seeing, steady and kind.

Each Saturday session will include talks, guided meditation instruction, a lunch break, small discussion groups and a tea break. All levels of practice are welcome. Some may be hearing these teachings for the first time while others may have studied them over many years.

If you have attended before consider joining us again to practice together in community. (Special “repeaters pricing”) Each time we mediate together in community, we step in with “beginners mind.”
