Core Curriculum
The Way of Shambhala is an extensive path of training in authentic meditation practices and wisdom teachings. Our Classical Buddhist Studies supports study and practice of the three-yana path of Kagyu and Nyingma Tibetan Buddhism. Contemplative Arts comprise a number of secular disciplines and activities, including flower arranging and photography.
