Autumn at Shambhala Mountain Center
Summer is the high season at SMC. From June through August, our 600 acres are at full capacity. Tent villages sprout up in clusters to house participants in the various programs and lunchtime brings hundreds of people together in a kaleidoscope of activity. It’s as if the whole world has come to SMC.
And then summer ends, the tents come down, and the mellow, golden days of autumn arrive. For many of us who have spent years coming to SMC, this is the best time to be on the land. Clear, blue-sky days, crisp nights, the Stupa shining up the hill in that special, transitional autumn light.
During this shift from summer to autumn, it is a good season to sit quietly. It’s also a great time to take a hike in the yellow aspens. Or sit by a pine-wood fire in the Shambhala lodge after some some star-gazing.
As we round the corner towards the year’s end, consider joining us for one of the following programs:
Shambhala Training Level I: The Art of Being Human with Cynthia Drake
Death & Enlightenment: Spiritual Opportunity of a Lifetime with Andrew Holecek
Perseverance: Igniting the Heart in the Midst of Hardship with Meg Wheatley
Dancing with Hope and Fear (Part 3): Sacred Wisdom with Frank Berliner
