Calgary-based senior teacher Frank Johns is coming to Nelson to teach Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human, one of our most important programs, on October 2nd – 3rd, 2010.

Frank outlines the program this way:

“This is the foundational weekend meditation intensive for the entire path of Shambhala Buddhism. The Art of Being Human focuses on setting a correct understanding for what meditation practice is for within the Shambhala path, and in presenting the core concepts, which are based on personal experience—aspects of our experience that are common to all humans but which we have mistakenly ignored or thought were not important.”
