The Media Shambhala Meditation Group meets for meditation and study in the Buddhist tradition every Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. On the second Sunday of each month, we have community retreats which are held at 391 Kirk Lane. These retreats include sitting and walking meditation, dharma readings, and movement meditations such as yoga and Tibetan Lujong exercises. Most events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Donations are welcome. Initial meditation instruction is given on the first Wednesday of each month. Individual meditation instruction is available upon request.

This winter we will be studying "Happiness" by Matthieu Ricard, a renowned Buddhist monk and teacher. We will also be holding our annual New Year's Eve and New Year's Day retreat. The theme for this year is "Silence and Song." The retreat will include periods of silent meditation, songs of realization written by the accomplished yogis of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and the Sadhana of Mahamudra. Below is our schedule... We invite you to join us!
