Spark your heart and mind through the practice of meditation.

The Shambhala Meditation Centre of Toronto is part of Shambhala, an international community dedicated to recognizing the innate goodness of all and manifesting that goodness in society. People of all traditions come to explore our diverse programs designed to help us discover our inherent sanity, gentleness, and humour. Our programs, groups, and community gatherings offer a way to train in spiritual warriorship and study and practice these teachings from the Shambhala tradition in everyday life.

We aspire to create a welcoming, supportive, transparent and inclusive environment for everyone who comes through our doors. We invite all participants to read our Care and Conduct Statement before your visit.
