Northern California Shambhala is a community of meditation centers and study groups located in Berkeley, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Marin County, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Davis, and Grass Valley. To locate a center near you, click here.

We are part of Shambhala International, a community of meditation centers founded in 1973 by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, artist, author, and poet. Today, the Shambhala tradition is led by Trungpa Rinpoche's son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Our Northern California Shambhala senior dharma teacher is Pema Chodron.

Acharya Pema Chodron

All Northern California Shambhala meditation centers offer free meditation instruction, classes, a comprehensive curriculum in Buddhist studies, and Shambhala Training - a progressive series of weekend secular workshops that help students establish a personal meditation practice in order to engage more fully and compassionately in the world. Check with your local center for its schedule of events. Northern California Shambhala welcomes people of any spiritual tradition or none at all who would like to learn more about the everyday benefits of meditation.
