Welcome
Immediate Closure of the Centre – November 17th, 2020
To all our dear members, renters, friends and groups: following the CDC edict and Dr. Bonnie Henry’s announcement, the Victoria Shambhala Centre will be closed as of November 17th until clearance from the CDC. This closure is for all community activities, classes, meetings and scheduled group meditation sessions.
Council is hopeful that we can re-open when we are given the ‘all clear’ sign and it will endeavour to offer as many activities on-line as possible like Sunday Morning Sit from 9:45-11:15 am. Please check the calendar and Featured Programs at the bottom of this page to see what else is being offered online.
We hope that everyone will stay safe and sound. Please know that we are still reachable by e-mail, phone or zoom should you need help, support, a chat with a fellow sangha member. These are challenging times and yet we can support one another by way of our commitment to community and to one another.
