Fall Take Down 2016

Open Dates

Register now to join us as we dismantle our summer campus and prepare the land for winter. Work outdoors, meditate, participate in workshops and classes, make new friends, and integrate your spiritual practice into everyday life.

Your schedule typically includes approximately six hours of work each work day. In exchange, you will receive meals and live in a tent village. You will have access to meditation instruction and daily group sittings, evening classes, and other activities. You will also earn $100 program credit for each week of work, which can be used to attend almost any program at Shambhala Mountain Center during the next two years.

Although the minimum stay is one week, we prefer that you commit for several weeks or the entire program.

We invite arrivals on the following Sundays: August 28, September 4, September 11, and September 18. Please arrive by 5:00 p.m. to ensure a smooth landing. There will be a brief orientation at 7:30 p.m. each Sunday evening after dinner.

Departure days are also typically Sundays, which allows you the opportunity to participate in a weekend program if available. If you are not taking a program on your departure weekend, you’re free to leave on Saturday.

Please take care when filling out the registration form to select accurate arrival and departure dates!

If you have questions, please email cr@shambhalamountain.org.
