Shambhala Center Membership

Becoming a member of the San Francisco Shambhala Center is a statement about your personal inspiration, curiosity, and commitment to the path of awakening. It means participating in a community of practitioners who aspire to relate to each other with honesty, warmth, and openness. Membership is a commitment to meditation practice, dharma study, and to become involved in the activities at the center.

There are many benefits to becoming a member. Members can receive ongoing meditation instruction with a personal meditation instructor who helps them deepen their meditation practice and understanding of the Shambhala Buddhist teachings. Members are invited to community events, programs, classes, and receive discounts for some programs.

In addition, members become a crucial part of the financial and volunteer support of the center. Without our community's financial and volunteer support, the center could not offer all of the wonderful things that we do. Payment of membership dues is the financial backbone of our center. The amount of dues is adjustable based on what you can afford.

Becoming a member does not mean you agree with everything you hear or read at the center, but that you maintain a willingness to work with your own mind, your meditation practice, and your intention to remain open-hearted and awake.

To receive further information regarding membership, please email Susan Arnesen or stop by the center during Open House.
