Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human with David Sanford

Open your eyes, heart and mind to your own basic goodness and the sacredness of life. Level I is an excellent introductory program if you would like to learn to meditate or deepen your practice.

Shambhala Training is a secular meditation training that develops fearlessness, confidence, openness, and gentleness towards ourselves and our world. These qualities arise out of meditation practice and the study of Shambhala warriorship. Shambhala Training welcomes people of all religious traditions as well as those who do not follow a particular spiritual path.

In Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human we will learn the simple yet challenging practice of meditation. By relaxing our body and mind in this way we begin to discover something profound within our ordinary experience of ourselves and the world. We get a glimpse that the ground of our existence is unconditional goodness. Opening to ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuine and compassionate human beings.
