Great Eastern Sun / Windhorse (Online)

Great Eastern Sun and Windhorse mark the beginning of the Shambhala Training Sacred Path, which introduces advanced warriorship practices that extend the basic mindfulness-awareness meditation training introduced in Weekends I-V. These practices are based on a societal vision and aspiration to help the world.

This level of training cultivates one’s dignity and natural gifts that are able to widen one’s sphere of compassionate and practical influence.

Prerequisite: Rigden Weekend or graduates of Shambhala Training Weekend V who plan to complete Rigden Weekend in the future.
