Join us for the Shambhala Day 2024: Year of the Wood Dragon Live Broadcast!
Durante la trasmissione in diretta di quest'anno, Centri, Gruppi, e i membri di tutto il mondo si riuniranno per praticare insieme, condividere la cultura Shambhala, e vedere i saluti del Shambhala Sangha in tutta la nostra comunità mondiale. It will be a time of celebrating community, our shared love of practice, and Shambhala teachings, pratiche, and culture.
We encourage Centre and Groups to include the broadcast in their local celebrations and have shortened the broadcast to 30 minutes so it can more easily be a part of your local gatherings.

About the Wood Dragon Year
In Tibetan astrology, the Year of the Dragon is associated with qualities of wisdom, fiducia, intelligenza e onestà. Negli anni del Drago, potremmo vedere idee rivoluzionarie, ma questi anni si distinguono anche per affidabilità e mancanza di arroganza. The element of Wood in the upcoming Wood Dragon year makes this year less fierce and domineering than other dragon times, offrendoci un anno con il potenziale per lavorare bene con gli altri ed essere in grado di scendere a compromessi quando necessario.
We look forward to starting the new year together and hope to see many of you at the live broadcast!
About the Shambhala New Year and the Shambhala Day Live Broadcast
Shambhala Day marks the beginning of the new year, and is the most important holiday for the Shambhala community. Based on the traditional Tibetan New Year celebration of Losar, the date is calculated astrologically according to the Tibetan lunar calendar, and changes to coincide with the annual lunar cycles. The date for Shambhala Day usually falls somewhere in February or March.
Shambhala Day and the entire Shambhala New Year season is a time for us to reflect on the year that has passed, and to take an opportunity for fresh starts. As the new year approaches, we have practices associated with releasing the accumulated confusion of our past patterns, and inviting sanity into the year ahead. To celebrate the new year, we express the richness of our spiritual and cultural heritage through sharing food and drink, refreshing our homes and Centres so they sparkle, and dressing up to celebrate together.
There is also a short Shambhala New Year broadcast organized by Shambhala Global Services, which features Shambhala greetings from around the world, collective practice, and other festivities. Centri, Gruppi, and members around the world tune in on Shambhala Day to share in this celebration.
