The Princess Bride

Come to view Rob Reiner’s iconic film then stay for a discussion of Ethan Nichtern’s new book The Dharma of "The Princess Bride".

We will begin the movie early----at 6pm (the movie is 90 minutes long)
Families are welcome to come with children and leave after the movie if you like
Popcorn will be provided.
Then, at approximately 7:45 pm, Loretta Colton will lead a discussion of the book The Dharma of "The Princess Bride".
The book is available at Chapters/Indigo
Humorous yet spiritually rigorous, drawing from pop culture and from personal experience, The Dharma of "The Princess Bride" teaches us how to understand and navigate our most important personal relationships from a twenty-first-century Buddhist perspective.
Friendship. Romance. Family. These are the three areas Ethan Nichtern delves into, taking as departure points the indelible characters-Westley, Fezzik, Vizzini, Count Rugen, Princess Buttercup, and others from Rob Reiner's perennially popular film-as he also draws lessons from his own life and his work as a meditation teacher.

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.

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.

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.
