Shambhala's Meditation instruction emphasizes the potential for enlightenment inherent in every situation or state of mind. Through discipline, gentleness, and a sense of humor, the practitioner is invited to let go of conflicting emotions and wake up on the spot!

Meditation is a natural state of the human mind—at rest, open, alert, and meditation has been taught for over 2,500 years as a vehicle for realizing the beauty and magic of the ordinary world without aggression or manipulation. This ancient practice can cultivate the mind’s inherent stability, clarity and strength to be more awake and to develop the compassion and insight necessary to care for oneself and the world genuinely.

These classes will be led by Shastri Linda Mockeridge. Chairs will be provided for meditation but all guests are encouraged to bring mats and towels if they prefer to sit on the ground. These classes will include both sitting and walking meditation options.
