Accessibility & Disability in the Shambhala Mandala
We are the Shambhala International working group for accessibility and disability, a working group of fellow sangha members who work to make our community, it’s centers and electronic media accessible to all our members. The Accessibility and Disability Working group is a part of the collection of working groups aimed at well-being: Social Health and Well-being. We are charged with providing information for making Shambhala International accessible, physically, in print, and electronically.
