Shambhala Day

Shambhala Day celebrates the Tibetan New Year that occurs in late February or early March each year. Shambhala is an ancient tradition that is rooted in the longing we all have to be completely authentic and to live in a society that cultivates our true expression as human beings. This longing is the basis of education at Naropa University. Shambhala Day is an opportunity for you to reconnect to your aspiration; to reflect upon the goodness of the world; to express joy, humor and tenderness; and to enjoy the community of others who are similarly inspired. It is a school holiday and is celebrated by the Naropa community with a shared meal and a program of performances by students and faculty. All buildngs are closed except for those in use for celebration events.
