Getting Started
Welcome to the Boulder Shambhala Center!
We look forward to getting to know you! Please feel welcome to stop by the center for a visit. The Boulder Shambhala Center is part of Shambhala, an international community of meditation centers and groups. We offer extensive training in meditation through introductory classes, curriculum-based programs and individual meditation instruction.
Meditation helps us synchronize body and mind in order to be present, awake, and complete. We can then apply the sanity, clarity, and presence developed in meditation to our everyday lives. Relating to life in this way creates dignified human culture, including kindness, love, and compassion. We welcome all people interested in the practice of meditation and anyone who aspires to expand the experience of gentleness and nonaggression into all areas of life.
Learn more about the Boulder Shambhala Center and community at these events:
- Sunday Community Practice: Visit an Open House any Sunday morning from 10:30–11am. At 11am, there is a dharma talk and meditation instruction given by a senior teacher. At noon, please join us for a soup & salad social where you can meet new and existing members of our community.
- Come to one of our weekly drop-in classes or for introductory meditation instruction.
