You are welcome to join us for public sitting on Sundays from 10:00 to 11:00 am. This is an opportunity to practice with a group. All meditation sessions are free of charge, though donations are welcome. 

Meditation instruction and guided practice will be offered every second and fourth Sunday from 10:00 to 10:30 AM. Please arrive by 10:00 if you wish to join this session. We also offer an extended How to Meditate program once a month. Please see the Programs page on the website for more information. 

You are also invited to join an informal Dharma conversation right after Sunday Meditation where you can ask questions, share experience, and meet new friends.  On the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month, Shambhala Meditation Instructors and Hosts will be on hand from 11-11:45 to discuss readings from  “The Essential Pema”,  a free online pdf.  

New for Sundays!
