This program fulfills the weekthun requirement for Enlightened Society assembly. Priority is given to full-time participants, but partial attendance may be possible, depending on enrollment. We encourage staying at the Seattle Shambhala Center in the shrine room or, weather permitting, in a tent. You may also commute to the weekthun if you prefer.


This weekthun will be led by Shastri John Fox and Shastri Ben Hines.

Generosity Policy: Our program fees are set at a level that will cover our costs, and the generosity of our members and program participants is what ensures the continuity of our programs and sustainability of our Center. However, we are committed to making it possible for everyone to participate in our programs regardless of financial circumstances. If the fee for a program presents an obstacle to your participation, please contact our Director of Practice and Education, Adrienne Papermaster, adriennepaper@gmail.com at the time of registration to pre-arrange a reduced amount that will make it possible for you to attend.
