Meditation practice can help us wake up to the contentment and joy that should be our natural right as human beings. But our busy lives, our habitual tendencies and our fears tend to get in the way. Meditation can help us truly experience our world and engage directly with a fresh attitude and newborn clarity. Why not join us for this weekend of meditation practice and contemplation, and further steps along the path with fellow practitioners?

This weekend retreat will include:
• meditation talks 
• guided instruction and practice
• group discussions
• a concluding reception and celebration
Prerequisite: Completion of any Shambhala Centre course or weekend program.

Waking Up to Our World Through Mindfulness Meditation is part of a series of Way of Shambhala weekend meditation retreats.  This weekend retreat fulfills the requirements for Level III of Shambhala Training.

Program price: $150. If the program price is an obstacle, please pay what you can.

David Fowler began to meditate in 2001 and became a meditation instructor and teacher in 2006. He was one of the founding members of Queer Dharma in Ottawa and has formerly held the positions of finance officer and director of the Ottawa Shambhala Centre.
