Cheerful Shambhala Day

Shambhala Day marks the beginning of the New Year, which is one of the most important traditions of the Shambhala Mandala. Based on the traditional Tibetan New Year's celebration of Losar,Shambhala Day is a time for us to express the wealth and richness of our spiritual and cultural heritage through practice, conviviality, elegance and pomp. As is customary, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche addresses the worldwide Shambhala community on Shambhala Day through an online hook-up, which includes centers and groups from six continents and over thirty countries around the world.

This year we celebrate on Thursday February 19 beginning with a werma practice for Tantrikas only at 12 noon.

At 630 pm we will gather together as a community for a Shambhala Sadhana and a pot luck feast, followed by the Sakyong's broadcast and a fundraising presentation

Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
