Community

Our community is diverse, capable, and heartfelt. Our members and friends include dedicated senior teachers who have walked the Shambhala Buddhist path for many years, and enthusiastic newcomers who are just discovering our teachings on realizing basic goodness and building enlightened society.

As part of the Shambhala global community, we share a connection to contemplative practice and the aspiration to create a kind, sane society.  We invite and appreciate everyone’s participation.   There are many ways to get involved—joining in public meditation , enjoying food and conversation at community events , and participating in classes & retreats, to name a few.

The PEI Shambhala Meditation Group is a non-profit organization with a small budget run by a Council of volunteers.  We are funded solely through donations from Group members and friends.  Currently the Council consists of Marilyn McKay (Group Coordinator), Ambika Rutherford, Calvin MacPhail, Tim McCullough and Rick Martijn.

We encourage you to share your inspiration, questions, suggestions and concerns with any of the Council members, face to face or otherwise. Email messages sent to [email protected]  will be forwarded fittingly.
