Shambhala Shambhala


at Shambhala Mountain

Shambhala Training is a series of contemplative workshops suited for both beginning and experienced meditators. The simple and profound technique of mindfulness and awareness is the basis of this secular path of meditation, which can benefit people of any spiritual tradition and way of life.

Shambhala is the study and practice of Shambhala warriorship—a tradition of human bravery and leadership. Learn how you can transform the challenges of today's daily life into opportunities for both contemplative practice and social action.

It seems we all agree that training the body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don't we think about training our mind?
— Sakyong Mipham

Even in today’s high-paced, high-stress world, each one of us has the natural capacity to find peace, clarity, well-being, and compassion within our own self. The means: meditation. The approach: a simple practice of coming back to the present moment via the breath, the body, and the senses. Learning to meditate in a retreat environment is an ideal way to get started or to deepen your practice.
