There are thousands of members and friends of Shambhala worldwide, on all continents. We have online communities and more than 150 Shambhala Centres and Groups, as well as individual members located in major cities, towns, and in rural settings in over 50 different countries.

Most Shambhala Centres and many Groups hold at least one meditation session per week open to anyone, free of charge. A Meditation Instructor is present to assist beginners. We alternate periods of sitting (usually about 20 – 30 minutes per period) with walking meditation (approximately 10 minutes) for a total of one to three hours, depending on the day and Centre or Group. Many Shambhala Meditation Centres build into the schedule a time for refreshments and socializing and this is a great way to connect with other mediation practitioners.
