Welcome to the Shambhala Institute

You have arrived at a frontier outpost in the field of leadership training, situated on the edge of a continent and at the edge of a movement towards more systemic, holistic, powerful ways of being, learning, and leading in our workplaces and our lives.

Inside this site you will encounter doors and hallways that lead to various programs, workshops, articles, and conversations. In each room you will meet committed, courageous people who are grappling with the complex challenges of their organizations and communities. You will meet respected thought leaders, practitioners, and guides in the fields of transformative leadership and social innovation--people like Peter Senge, Margaret Wheatley, Otto Scharmer, Toke Moeller, Brenda Zimmerman, Bernard Lietaer, Art Kleiner, Bill Torbert, Karen Stephenson, David Whyte, and many more. You will meet artists, meditation teachers, and Aikido masters, all practicing their art and inviting you to hone your leadership presence and skills.

As a leader navigating through rapid change, you know that you can no longer depend on the lessons of the past nor the certainties of the future. We therefore invite you to enter here, to engage with like-minded pioneers, and to discover what you came to offer and what you came to learn.
