Shambhala Training IV: Awakened Heart
This program will take place via Zoom. Please register in advance to receive the link!
In Shambhala Training IV, we have an opportunity to open our hearts so we can communicate more fully with the world. Rather than using our day-to-day experiences as occasions to regenerate habitual patterns, we can use them as reminders to further wake up. When we allow ourselves to meet the world without hope and fear, we find fresh resources of energy and a sense of steadiness.
Every Shambhala Training program 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.
Prerequisites: Shambhala Training III
Recommended: Fearlessness in Everyday Life
Shambhala Training provides in-depth meditation retreats and teachings. Attendance is required for each session of the program.
About the Way of Shambhala
The Way of Shambhala includes Shambhala Training programs I–V, with each training followed by a five-week "In Everyday Life" course that expands upon what was offered in the training. Over the course of a year, these programs introduce the entire Shambhala path. This series offers a glimpse of the Shambhala vision of enlightened society by emphasizing how meditation can impact our daily lives—and from there, how the sanity of meditation can impact our community and our whole society. Fearlessness in Everyday Life is recommended either before or after Shambhala Training IV. Please click here for a full description of the Way of Shambhala.
