The Art of Being Human - First of a series on mindfulness/awareness training

The Art of Being Human

Discovering Who We Are Through Meditation

When we truly create the time and space to dive fully into meditation practice, we begin to glimpse that goodness – rather than confusion – is the unconditional foundation of our existence. Opening to ourselves with gentleness and appreciation, we begin to see our potential as genuinely kind and compassionate human beings.

An Immersive In-Person Training in Meditatio

In An Intimate Rural Setting

The Art of Being Human is the first program in the Shambhala Training series. This is a path that invites all seekers to cultivate both inner gentleness and strength. Through a series of contemplative workshops, Shambhala Training reveals simple yet profound techniques of mindfulness-awareness meditation. No matter whether you are new or experienced, or come from other spiritual traditions these meditation techniques have proven universally valuable.

Join us and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Karmê Chöling nestled on 500 acres of tranquil wooded forests and fields. This is an ideal setting for our intimate gathering where we will have shared meditation, insightful discussions, communal meals, and leisurely moments that foster connections of the heart and spirit.
