Meditation in Everyday Life presents peaceful abiding meditation, basic goodness, and ways that meditation practice can improve the quality of our daily life. By deepening our experience and understanding of ourselves through the practice of meditation, we more fully become who we already are.

This is the first course in our new core program, The Way of Shambhala, which provides a strong foundation in mindfulness-awareness meditation. This series is designed to be applied to the complexity of our daily lives, and to develop courage and sanity in these troubled times of uncertainty. The Way of Shambhala series offers a structured path of meditation and an introduction to all that Shambhala offers. It also offers a glimpse of the Shambhala vision of enlightened society by emphasizing the ways in which meditation can impact our daily lives, and from there how the sanity of meditation can expand to impact our whole society.

A teacher and practitioner in the Shambhala tradition, Ethan Nichtern is the director of the Interdependence Project, an NYC based grassroots organization dedicated to bringing the principles of meditation and interdependence into the arts and activism work. He is the author of the book, One City: A Declaration of Interdependence (Wisdom Pubs), and the host of the podcast, 21st Century Buddhism (available on iTunes).
