Just a heads up that the in-person meditation in Santa Monica has been canceled for January 20th. Our Quaker hosts are undergoing a little construction so the space isn't available.

We hope to see you on February 3rd, or any other 1st, 3rd or 5th Saturday!

Saturday, Dec. 12th at 10:00 am PT is Discovering Elegance with Steve Saitzyk via Zoom. Please go to la.shambhala.org/programs to register and receive the Zoom link.

Discovering Elegance is a film directed by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In it, he demonstrates the art of design, calligraphy, flower arrangement, and object placement in preparing an environmental art exhibit at the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art in 1981. We will view the short film and Steve will lead us in a brief contemplative exercise. There will be time for conversation and hearing some stories from Steve about the preparations for the L.A. event that is depicted in the film.
