Welcome
Spark your heart and mind through the practice of meditation.
Shambhala Vision is rooted in the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness. This nature can be developed in daily life so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. Located in the vibrant Cleveland Park neighborhood, the Shambhala Meditation Center of Washington DC is part of a global community of meditation centers which aspire to awaken kindness, goodness and wisdom within society, through a variety of classes, retreats, community events, and free of charge public meditation sessions.

Recent research has demonstrated what people have known intuitively for centuries: singing brings a myriad of benefits to anyone who sings at any level, rousing one’s energy and opening one’s heart.

Coming to Our Senses
Reducing stress and building resilience don’t have to be solitary projects. We can invite the world to help us. Everything we see, hear, smell, taste and touch helps us let go of habitual thoughts and emotions that prevent us from enjoying our life. As we come more fully into our senses, life is more fun; we can fully appreciate a bite of food, or a song, or a color that catches our eye. More →
