Berkeley Shambhala Meditation Center

The Berkeley Shambhala Meditation Center is part of an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and currently headed by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

Located in the Oddfellows building on 2288 Fulton street, the Berkeley center is one of the oldest Shambhala centers in the mandala. For over thirty years we have offered the ground of Shambhala Dharma to the bay area.

There are a wide range of programs, classes, and ongoing practice offered at the Berkeley center. We feature open meditation practice Monday Wednesday and Friday nights at 7:00 PM, an open house every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM, as well as free meditation instruction. We sell books, practice supplies, and meditation cushions in our bookstore.
