Sonoma Shambhala Meditation Center

Come Visit Us and Learn to Meditate!

The Sonoma Shambhala Meditation Center is part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by the late Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In addition to free meditation instruction, offered at each of our public sitting pratices three times each week, our center offers frequent public meditation, a core curriculum of Buddhist and Shambhala teachings, as well as training in advanced contemplative practices.

Our own mind is our worst enemy.  We try to focus, and our mind wanders off.  We try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night...We can create an alliance that allows us to actually use our mind, rather than be used by it.  This is a practice anyone can do."


Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche (Son of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and temporal and spiritual director of Shambhala) -- from his national bestseller, Turning the Mind Into an Ally.

We welcome all to explore our diverse programs designed to help people of all traditions discover their inherent sanity, gentleness and humor.
