Shambhala Training
Shambhala Training is a series of weekend contemplative workshops, suited for both beginning and experienced meditators. The technique of mindfulness and awareness is the basis of a secular path of meditation, which draws upon what is essential to all wisdom traditions.
The Shambhala Training weekends consist of thorough instruction in meditation, the practice of sitting and walking meditation in a group setting, one-on-one interviews to clarify questions, discussion groups and talks by a senior teacher.
Shambhala Training was founded in 1977 by Chögyam Trungpa, Tibetan Meditation Master and author of Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior and Great Eastern Sun.

The basic message of the Shambhala teachings is that the best of human life can be realized under ordinary circumstances. That is the basic wisdom of Shambhala: that in this world, as it is, we can find a good and meaningful human life that will also serve others.
