Meditation practice allows us to notice how we sometimes create a cocoon of habits to hide from or ignore our fears. Through meditation, we can begin to make friends with those fears and habits and cut through their ability to control us. We can begin to appreciate that there is no fundamental obstacle to seeing our lives clearly and directly experiencing our own goodness, which is always available to us. Why not join us for this weekend retreat?

Our time together will include:
• meditation talks 
• guided meditation instruction and practice
• group discussions
• a concluding reception and celebration
Open to all. There are no prerequisites for this retreat.

Making Friends with Your Fears is part of a series of Way of Shambhala weekend meditation retreats.  This weekend retreat fulfills the requirements for Level II of Shambhala Training.

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

Please register by October 16. It really helps if you register early so we can plan accordingly.

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.
