About us
Beginning April 26, 2026 we will begin a new book discussion, When Things Fall Apart: by Pema Chödrön
When Things Fall Apart is a collection of talks offering wisdom for navigating pain, uncertainty, and personal upheaval. Pema Chödrön, an American Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition, draws on Buddhist teachings to share practical ways of transforming suffering into growth and calm. The book emphasizes meditation, mindfulness, and learning to embrace “groundlessness” as a path to inner peace.
## ☀️ Sunday Meditation & Book Discussion
San Diego Shambhala Meditation Center
Join us every Sunday at 10:00 AM at Full Circle Yoga for group meditation and a reflective book discussion grounded in compassion and courage.
Each week, we explore Pema Chödrön’s Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change, centering on three core commitments:
- To not cause harm
- To take care of one another
- To embrace the world just as it is, even when it feels uncertain or painful
Together, these commitments invite us to meet life with openness, responsibility, and kindness in the midst of constant change.
✨ Beginners warmly welcome!
