Northern California Shambhala is unique in that we have 6 meditation centers all within a few hours of one another. This close proximity has allowed us to increase cooperation, broaden our view, and function effectively. We are dedicated to creating enlightened society using the tools of mindfulness, awareness, and unconditioned confidence. These inherent qualities are cultivated through meditation practice, by studying the Shambhala Buddhist teachings, and by taking part in the Shambhala community. We then apply what we have learned to our everyday lives at work, at home, with our families, and in society as a whole.
