The Power of Presence with Others
with Eve Rosenthal
taught via zoom: attend on Zoom or In-Person with a group at the Davis or Sonoma Shambhala CenterS • Presented by Northern California Shambhala
In this troubled world, how can we connect with our heart and not be overwhelmed? It takes bravery and a strong intention to cultivate compassion for others rather than meeting difficulty with aggression or turning away. What is the impact on others when we can be simply present regardless of the circumstances?
The Power of Presence with Others: The Bravery to be Kind
Join us for the second in a series of four Saturday morning programs we are presenting in 2024 with senior Shambhala teacher Eve Rosenthal; who led our 2023 Summer Meditation Retreat: Cultivating Confidence in a World of Doubt.
These four programs explore aspects of the Power of Presence — being present has an impact and power beyond the moment. Each session will explore a different aspect of presence, supported by meditation, contemplation, discussion and movement. Everyone is welcome.

Our teacher, Eve Rosenthal
Eve’s journey with the dharma began in 1973, and she met Chögyam Trungpa that same year. Originally from New York City, she was Resident Director of Shambhala Training there in the 1980s and began teaching Shambhala Training and Buddhadharma at that time. Eve moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1990, and began to teach and lead a wide range of Shambhala and Buddhist programs in North America, Europe, and South America. She was an acharya (senior teacher) in the Shambhala community from 2005-2020.
She holds a doctorate in Computer Science and had a career teaching information technology and as a systems analyst for international financial institutions. Combining her technology skills and her aspiration to make dharma more accessible and connect our global community, Eve founded Shambhala Online in 2006. A longtime practitioner and teacher of T’ai Chi, she also enjoys playing the piano. Eve lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her spouse, Basia Solarz.

For online programs Shambhala uses Zoom for online programs which is available for computers, smart phones, and tablets. You need to download the free app on your device before joining the session. Once it’s loaded, click the link and follow the prompts to join the session. Please join at least 5-10 minutes in advance so that you’re ready when the program begins, and make certain that your mic is muted when you join to avoid background noises which are multiplied with many participants. Note that the Zoom experience seems to be most predictable when you are signed into your Zoom account and have the most current version installed on your computer.
