Shambhala is a member-led organization headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There are several Shambhala Centres across Canada, including Victoria, Kamloops and Nelson in BC. Our umbrella organization is Shambhala Canada Society, a registered Canadian charity.

In Vancouver, we are governed by a volunteer Council that meets monthly. Members are welcome to attend any Council meeting to offer insights and suggestions.
