Regular Committee Meetings Schedule

Running our Centre takes a lot of work. It can also involve a sense of community and play! Enjoy this mix at meetings of the groups described below. For the latest schedule information, go to our Clickable Calendar. To learn more, contact Jim Northcote at info@nelsonbuddha.com.

Drala Housekeeping Team
Sundays, 12:00 - 1:00 PM (schedule permitting)
The role of the Drala Housekeeping Team is to keep the Shambhala Centre at its sparkling best for the benefit of all. (The glossary of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche's book Ruling Your World defines drala as "the blessing energy that arises when we overcome our own aggression.") The scope of the team's work includes not just cleaning but also painting and decorating, creating flower arrangements, installing displays of good local art, and more. Everyone is welcome.

Council
Second Tuesday of the month, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Open to all members, our Council is the organizational hub of our Centre. Its job is to guide, support and harmonize all of the Centre's activities according to the vision of realizing enlightened society, at our Centre and beyond.

Practice & Education Committee
First Tuesday of every other month, 6:30 - 8:30 PM
The job of the Practice & Education Committee is to oversee and coordinate all aspects of our Centre's Shambhala Buddhist training. These include meditation instruction and practice, Open House, and Way of Shambhala programs. All members are welcome.
