Harvest of Peace

September 18th (2022)

Date details +

    Please join us for a special Sunday morning sitting on Sept 18th, from 10:00am - 12:30pm in person at the Ottawa Shambhala Centre when we will take time to celebrate the Fall Equinox - Harvest of Peace.

    From 10am-12pm, our fearless warrior Colin has agreed to lead our sitting practice, followed by a Lhasang and a short Harvest of Peace video. After the practice time, everyone is invited to bring some food - for themselves or to share - for a simple meal together (and the first since COVID!). (We will be burning incense, so please let us know beforehand if this presents a challenge for you).

    Families are very much welcome. There will be crafting materials and books available in the main sitting area, but of course children and their parents are free to come and go as they like from the meditation hall.

    Shambhala has four seasonal celebrations that occur on or around the solstice and equinox days. Harvest of Peace is our autumnal equinox celebration, These holidays are important times for us to join together as a community to practice, celebrate and enjoy each other’s company.

    Please join us. It will be lovely to see your faces! All are welcome!

    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.
