Family Camp with Kerry Lee MacLean, Lisa Cargerman & Leland Williams

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 practice together, while experiencing the beauty of the land at Shambhala Mountain Center. 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.

The mother of five meditators and author of Peaceful Piggy Meditation and The Family Meditation Book, she travels throughout the United States, Europe and Australia, helping Buddhist communities develop high-quality programs for children and their families. She received a BA from Naropa University in psychology.
