Victoria Shambhala Meditation Centre

Welcome to the Victoria Shambhala Centre. We are located on the unceded territory of the Lekwungen speaking peoples, the home of the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations, and we are grateful for the opportunity to meditate and create community on this land.

Shambhala teachings are based on a secular path of discovering and learning to trust in our innate human goodness through the practice of meditation.

For over 45 years we have been offering introductory mindfulness meditation classes, Buddhist studies, contemplative arts training and the Way of Shambhala core curriculum to the Victoria community.



Sit with us!
We offer free introductory meditation classes and opportunities to sit on Tuesday night Open House starting at 6:30 pm, Wednesday morning meditation online at 9 am and Sunday morning meditation beginning at 10 am. For more information please check out our public meditation schedule.

There is a wide variety of mindfulness based programs and community celebrations throughout the year. Please check our monthly calendar to discover upcoming events.

Shambhala is a community driven organization and we welcome you to learn more about membership and volunteer opportunities at our centre.
