The Shambhala Weekend Retreats are opportunities to deepen one’s practice of meditation in a powerful environment that meets the needs of someone with a busy life.  Level I: The Art of Being Human is the first in a series of five weekend retreats. These retreats are taken in sequence.

In Shambhala Weekend Retreat Level I: The Art of Being Human we glimpse unconditional goodness as the ground of our existence through the practice of meditation. As we open to ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuine and compassionate human beings.

Every Shambhala Weekend Retreat Level includes thorough meditation instruction, periods of meditation practice, one-on-one meetings to clarify questions, talks by senior teachers, group discussions and a concluding reception.

This program is open to everyone. There are no prerequisites required.
