This is a place to ask questions about this discussion site, the Nyama Sangha, and things related to that. Asking about mindfulness, meditation, Buddhism, etc. is a little outside of the scope of this site, so there is a separate thread on resources that might be helpful to those who have questions along those lines. If you have questions, please post them as a reply to this post and, hopefully, it will get answered. What is Nyama?When/where do you meet in person and/or virtually?Please see the calendar. (We are trying to keep it up to date, so if it looks like it is outdated, please say something!) Are you associated with the Shambhala global community?
At one time we were. Trungpa Rinpoche had a great message and very good ideas, but there were also some things that were harmful to others in the Shambhala organization. This is not a place to rehash these things, but simply to point out that the leadership for what was known as the Richmond Shambhala group did not think that the abuses of power and position that were perpetrated in the organization were being amended quickly, strongly, or emphatically enough to continue the association. For this reason, Richmond Shambhala parted ways with the global organization. After some spirited debate regarding how to refer to ourselves one Saturday afternoon, we became the Nyama Sangha. We are simply Not Your Average Meditation Association!
