There you will be taught about the view and the technique of meditation, whether you choose to use a cushion or a chair. We offer introductory instruction to anyone who requests it. The Family & Children Groups meet in person once per month by Semester. We also continue live-streaming our ongoing Community Meditation Groups Contemplative Creativity Lab and The Healing Circle. If new to meditation, we offer free guided meditation in the beginning of every session.
Meditation instruction is available to anyone, free of charge. We meet for online meditation on Sunday mornings via Zoom. Mindfulness/awareness meditation is the foundation of all that we do at the Shambhala Meditation Center.This ancient practice of self-discovery is rooted in the simple but revolutionary premise that every human being has the ability to cultivate the mind’s inherent stability, clarity and strength in order to be more awake and to develop the compassion and insight necessary to care for oneself and the world genuinely. Through discipline, gentleness and a sense of humor, the practitioner is invited to let go of conflicting emotions and wake up on the spot. The teachings of Shambhala Buddhism emphasize the potential for enlightenment inherent in every situation or state of mind. The practice of meditation has been taught for over 2,500 years as a vehicle for realizing the beauty and magic of the ordinary world without aggression or manipulation.
Meditation is a natural state of the human mind-at rest, open, alert.
