On Thursday evenings, from October 8th to November 5th, we’re offering a new five-class course, in a new way.

Designed to complement Shambhala Training Level I, Meditation in Everyday Life uses a range of learning aids―including simple instructions, experiential exercises and strong community support―to help students bring the benefits of meditation into their lives.

This course is part of a potent, new core curriculum―Way of Shambhala―which our Centre plans to introduce gradually over the coming months and years. (Please stay tuned.)
