A 24-Hour Sit-A-Thon Online
January 2nd and 3rd, Noon to Noon Mountain Time!
This event takes place entirely online in our virtual Shrine Room. Please Register at the Sit-a-Thon site HERE. The Zoom link will be posted here and on the Sit-a-Thon site on January 1, 2021.
Equal parts fundraiser and community-builder—join the good cause that is good for you!
24-hour sitting begins at noon (MST) on Saturday, January 2nd.
BSC’s 4th annual 24-hour Sit-A-Thon is upon us! Whether you’re new to meditation or an advanced practitioner, please show your support by joining us––for one hour, 12 hours, or all 24!––and deepen your practice, enjoy community, and benefit from six short talks by senior Shambhala teachers. What’s more, the archival vault opens after midnight, so, for you night owls, we will watch footage of some of the first Buddhist and Shambhala teachings ever offered in the West!
You didn’t know that meditating was a team sport?
At the Sit-A-Thon a little healthy competition can be fun! Join in with your favorite local Boulder or Shambhala Center group, or create your own group by registering with friends, colleagues, or your local yoga studio buddies. And rest assured, prizes will be awarded! Not into team sports? Don’t worry, individuals are welcome too.
This event encourages participation from practitioners of all levels. Are you brand new? We’ll have meditation instructors on hand. Are you an old hand? We’ll have Acharya talks to deepen your experience. Come one, come all! And please take a moment to share this great event with your networks via social media! Thank you!
