Welcome The Durham Shambhala Center is part of Shambhala International, a worldwide network of meditation and practice centers whose chief aspiration is to create enlightened society. We offer weekly sitting meditation at our Thursday Open House from 7-9pm, at the Early Bird Special on Wednesdays from 7-8am, and Sunday meditation from 9am - noon every Sunday. We also have a practice intensive from 9am - 4pm on the fourth Sunday of every month. All regular sessions are free and open to the public. Free meditation instruction is also provided.
Additionally, we offer classes and programs on Buddhism as well as secular classes--Shambhala Training--that show us how to bring meditative awareness into our daily lives. We aspire to make all of our programs available to all who wish to participate. To that end, we abide by a generosity policy.
