Dear Troy Shambhala,
Seasons change. Schedules change. We’re not meeting this Thursday, July 4, and our book study will happen on the 11th. Otherwise, sitting each Thursday in July is from 6:30-7:30 PM, as usual. And do join us for the following extras after sitting:
July 4: No Sitting Tonight! Happy Independence Day!
——————————
July 11: Book Study – Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chögyam Trungpa – Chapters 7 & 8. This Thursday, we will study SSPW as a group. Perhaps this text has been staring at you from the shelf for a while; now is a great opportunity to crack it open. We’ll discuss Chapters 7 & 8 together. Try to read the chapters ahead of time.
——————————
July 18: Lovingkindness Practice: We’ll devote half of the session to a guided contemplation of compassion. This powerful practice, developed by Acharya Judith Simmer-Brown, was given to us during a recent visit. The practice is optional and instruction will be provided. And then, Snack Salon! – Food, Conversation, and Meditation is the order for the day. We can do all of that in one shot! Feel free to bring something to share!
——————————
July 25: The last Thursday of each month is reserved to hear from Pema Chödrön. We’ll read a chapter from one of her phenomenal texts or play a short teaching.

See you!
