Shambhala Training provides us with a strong foundation for developing a life long personal mindfulness-awareness meditation practice. Shambhala Training consists of five levels or programs.

The first level, The Art of Being Human introduces us to the history of Shambhala; provides meditation instruction; helps us experience contrast between our state of mind when we are present with the state of mind when we are discursive.

The second level, Birth of the Warrior. This level introduces a variation in the meditation practice that helps us see our resistance to being present, as well as how to work with that resistance.

The third level, Warrior in the World with another variation on the meditation practice that helps open our perception of the world and its feedback.

The fourth Level, Awakened Heart continues to expand our perception, opening our heart to the world with steadiness to ride the ups and downs of life.

The fifth level, Open Sky, allows us to relax in unconditional trust, which brings a sense of freedom and space.



Our next Level 1, Art of Being Human will run four consecutive Thursday evenings starting September 10!

We are so excited to offer this wonderful course!
