Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human with Acharya Gaylon Ferguson
|
May 9 - 11
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 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 to experience the world as sacred and see basic goodness as our birthright.
Also offered August 15 – 17.
Acharya Gaylon Ferguson, a member of the core faculty at Naropa University and senior teacher in the Shambhala lineage, has led meditation retreats since 1973. His article, "Making Friends with Ourselves," was selected for inclusion in The Best Buddhist Writing 2005. His essay "No Color, All Colors" appears in the book Mindful Politics.
