Atlantic Regional Conference
September 29 - October 1, 2017
Join us in a weekend celebration of the Shambhala sangha in the Atlantic provinces!
Everyone is invited to this year’s Atlantic Regional Conference at Dorje Denma Ling. Shambhala leaders, educators, kasung, members and friends will come together around this year’s theme:
Shambhala in Atlantic Canada
More a gathering of meditation practitioners with a connection to the Shambhala path than a traditional conference, this year’s conference will feature practice, social events, visioning and discussions on practice, community, and Atlantic Canada’s unique culture and how we connect across the region as Shambhalians.
ARC 2017 features an all-in registration fee of $130, which includes registration, food and accommodation on the land (please note, program credit is not applicable to this program).
Whether you’ve been a member of the community for decades or are relatively new and have never visited Dorje Denma Ling, ARC is a wonderful opportunity to connect and make new sangha friends in the Shambhala mandala.
Weekend Schedule:
ARC begins Friday evening with our “Local Gifts” reception. Each participant is asked to contribute something delectable and made locally (cheese, chocolate, wine, beer, etc.) that celebrates your own corner of Atlantic Canada. Stories abound over these local delights and kick off our gathering with a sense of richness and the spirit of generosity.
Saturday morning, there is meditation practice led by Acharya Moh Hardin and Shastris from across Atlantic Canada.
Saturday evening features a delightful Shambhala banquet, complete with cultural offerings, toasts, and jokes. If you play an instrument, bring it along! Creativity is celebrated. Dress is uplifted for the event.
ARC concludes Sunday after lunch.
