    Monday to Friday 8am-8:30am in April

    During our period of temporary shutdown due to the COVID-19 situation, please join us virtually via Zoom every weekday morning at 8am in a practice to celebrate the spontaneous and joyful emergence of Spring. During these 20-30 minute sessions for the first 5 minutes or so we will share short poetry and/or dharma reading(s) followed by a meditation sitting together. All are welcome, and if you feel inspired by a poem or passage please bring it along as an opportunity to make an offering will be made available at the beginning of the session. Des poèmes en français sont également invités. Monday to Friday 8am to 8:30am starting March 23rd. Here is the Zoom link to join online:

    While the physical Shambhala Centre is closed, our community continues to be at the core of all we do. In order to care for each other, we are offering virtual ways to practise, study and be together. All of these sessions are free of charge to our community (donations are always welcome https://ottawa.shambhala.org/our-community/donate/ ).

    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.
