SHAMBHALA TRAINING

In the Shambhala Tradition, warriorship is based on cultivating our inherent wakefulness as human beings. Shambhala Training is a series of contemplative workshops suited for both beginnning and experienced meditators. Weekend programs provide an environment in which to discover our own gentleness and fearlessness through the practice of meditation. Each program is designed to include group meditation instruction and practice, talks on the Shambhala teachings, individual meetings with a meditation instructor, group discussion, and a celebratory reception.

At the Sonoma Shambhala Center, we offer the first four Shambhala Training weekend levels each year. Each weekend begins with registration on Friday evening at 7:00 pm (for Level I) or Saturday morning at 8:30am (for subsequent levels) and concludes early on Sunday evening.

Shambhala Training Level V and the Sacred Path levels are offered at other Bay Area Shambhala Centers. For more information about Sonoma Shambhala Training programs, send an e-mail query to satellitepubs1@comcast.net.
