Shambhala Mountain Center is a mountain valley retreat located on 600 acres of pristine beauty in the heart of the Rockies, northern Colorado. It is a conscious venue for Tathaastu’s Embrace your Shakti retreat as it offers sacred peace, natural beauty and invigorating spirit of love and universality.

Since 1971 the Center has offered hundreds of programs on Buddhist meditation, yoga and other contemplative disciplines. Tamed by thirty years of use as a contemplative retreat, Shambhala Mountain Center is a place where one of the basic truths of Buddhism—that people can be profoundly open to the wisdom of the present moment—is always readily available.

The Center takes its name from the legend of Shambhala. According to this tradition, the basis of enlightened society is the understanding that human beings inherently possess wisdom, compassion and goodness. In many cultures throughout history these qualities have been nurtured through meditation and contemplative disciplines.

In this magical valley, the rocks, trees, sky, and wind become symbols of rejuvenation, personal discovery, relaxation, and peace. Here, Embrace you Shakti retreat participants will find relief from the speed and anxiety of modern life. The retreat will allow you to become inseparable from the intrinsic experience that is Shambhala Mountain Center that is being alive. The land is steeped with the disciplines of meditation and yoga and at the retreat – Embrace your Shakti – the valley will resound with sage vibrations from ancient India, where wisdom teachings, chants, ritual, dance and divine silence will open doorways into the inner Self, where lies Shakti; pure and supreme.
