In-Person Community Meditation
Join us for in-person meditation. We meet in three locations in Greater Los Angeles: The Shambhala Center of Los Angeles in Burbank, The Quaker Meeting House in Santa Monica, and now Clubhouse5 in Orange County.
Meditation instruction will be available at the beginning of gatherings for those new to meditation or needing a refresher.
Burbank Community Meditation
Sundays 10:00 am – 12:30 pm
Shambhala Meditation Center
4200 W. Burbank Blvd.
Burbank, CA 91505
Every first Sunday on the month includes tonglen instruction and practice. Tonglen is a traditional Buddhist compassion practice meaning “sending and taking”. We breathe in others pain or suffering so they can be well and then breathe out happiness, joy, or whatever will relieve the suffering. Tonglen is best practiced with the support of a meditation community.
Westside Community Meditation
Saturdays 2:30 – 5:30 pm
(1st, 3rd and 5th of the month)
Quaker Meeting House
1440 Harvard St.
Santa Monica, CA 90404
Orange County Community Meditation
Sundays 1:00 – 3:00 pm
(2nd and 4th Sunday of the Month)
Clubhouse5
24262 Punta Alta
Laguna Hills, CA 92637
Drive up to the guardhouse where you will be asked for your name. There will be a sign at the driveway leading to Clubhouse 5. If you search for “Clubhouse 5, Laguna Woods” you will get specific directions to the clubhouse.
No Registration Required
That said, let us know you are coming via our Meetup’s Burbank or Westside groups. You can also use the platform to sign up for reminders. These gatherings are by donation.
Generosity Policy
SHAMBHALA LOS ANGELES is only possible by the generosity of our community. No one is turned away for lack of funds. We do rely on program revenue to meet operational costs. The Patron Price (when available) helps bridge the gap. Thank you for your support!
