Shambhala Group Membership

Becoming a member of Shambhala is a statement about your personal inspiration, curiosity, and commitment to the path of awakening. It means participating in a community of practitioners who aspire to relate to each other with honesty, warmth, and openness. We inspire one another to deepen our practice of mindfulness, awareness and compassion. We also provide each other an opportunity to practice compassion and patience.

Membership is a commitment to meditation practice, dharma study, and to become involved in the activities of the Tamalpais Shambhala Meditation Group. There are many benefits to becoming a member. Members can receive ongoing meditation instruction with a personal meditation instructor who helps them deepen their meditation practice and understanding of the Shambhala Buddhist teachings.

Members are invited to community events, programs, classes, and receive discounts for some programs. Members strengthen their understanding of Shambhala Buddhism by attending classes and programs, and by having a regular sitting meditation practice.

As a member of the Tamalpais Shambhala Meditation Group, you become a member of Northern California Shambhala, an affiliation of 12 centers and groups stretching from Monterey to Sonora, Grass Valley to Santa Rosa, as well as a member of the international Shambhala mandala.

In addition to these benefits, members become a crucial part of the financial and volunteer support of the center, without which the Shambhala Group could not offer all of the wonderful things that we do. It is because of our members that the profound tradition of meditation has been able to survive and flourish.

Payment of membership dues is the financial backbone of our Shambhala centers. The amount of dues is adjustable based on what individuals can afford. Volunteer work is how we are able to provide programs and services, often at no charge.

Ask any of our members about how you might contribute your time, energy, and/or financial resources to help the activities of Shambhala continue to grow in Marin County.

Or, please contact us via email or by phone at (415) 457-4157.
