     Please join us for a fun and informal celebration for all ages.

    Midsummer’s Day is a celebration of the nyida day associated with the summer solstice. The day begins with a lhasang (a traditional offering of juniper smoke) that purifies the environment and invokes awakened energy. This gathering is an opportunity for families and friends to enjoy summer fun together. The day includes games, croqueta, outdoor sports, and a picnic.

     Please bring your own picnic and water. The Shambhala Centre will provide non–alcoholic drinks, fruit and dessert. 

     Please bring your lawn chair/picnic blanket, sun umbrella, ball, frisbee, kites etc. We will try and set up near the big tree in the park to gain some shade (see map below).

    Fête du solstice d’été

     Du plaisir pour tous les âges!

     Le samedi 18 juin 2016

    10 h à 13 h

     

    Le solstice d’été est un des jours nyida que nous célébrons. L’évènement commence avec un lhasang (une offrande traditionnelle de fumée de genièvre) pour purifier l’environnement et invoquer l’énergie de l’éveil. Il s’agit d’une excellente occasion de profiter de l’arrivée de l’été en famille ou entre amis. Il y aura des jeux, du croquet, d’autres activités extérieures et un pique-nique.

     Veuillez apporter votre pique-nique et de l’eau. Le Centre Shambhala fournira des boissons non alcoolisées, des fruits et du dessert.

     N’oubliez pas d’apporter une chaise ou une couverture pour le pique-nique, un parasol, un ballon, un frisbee, un cerf-volant, etc. Nous essayerons de nous installer près du grand arbre dans le parc pour profiter de son ombre (voir la carte ci-dessous).

    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.
