Family Camp with Kerry Lee MacLean and Lisa Cargerman

Celebrate our extended community of families and practice together, while experiencing the beauty of the land at Shambhala Mountain.

Enjoy a precious opportunity to celebrate our extended community of families and to practice together while experiencing the beauty of the land at Shambhala Mountain. During the mornings, while your children attend Shotoku or Rites of Passage, take time for yourself to meditate, exercise or relax. During the afternoons and evenings, partake in family activities such as Ikebana, calligraphy, kite flying, storytelling and singing. Join us as we appreciate the richness of our families and our friendships, old and new.
