European Gathering, open to families*:
Taking the Shambhala community forward together
Join us for a summer week contemplating and co-creating a good society, a community of fellow warriors. We will explore what a culture of trust means, given all the changes in our Shambhala world. There will be time for practice together every morning, creative expression, time in nature and practical work for our beloved land centre. There will be space for exchange on key topics for the European Shambhala Community: Governance; Practice and Education; the future of Dechen Chöling; Shambhala Arts.
Families are warmly invited. Childcare in the mornings offered for children from 3 -10 years old.
