Cologne Shambhala Meditation Center

I've been here for a year and I'm happy every time I'm here. The ambiance is very cozy and inviting. I have taken a lot of people here into my heart and am looking forward to walking with them on this journey. The program is very rich and interesting. The Qigong course and the weekend retreats/training are very well designed. The teachers are well prepared and friendly. The perfect place to discover yourself.

A very nice place to meditate and switch off from everyday work. I find the mixture of traditional elements and a relaxed atmosphere very pleasant. I come to open morning meditation regularly and have done a few weekend programs as well. I can highly recommend both.

Very pleasant people, very nice events during the week and on weekends. I used to practice Zen - I really like the somewhat relaxed and less rigid approach to the tradition of meditation. Rooms are bright and friendly, as are other amenities! Highly recommended for self-reflection!

The facility is very nice, I also liked the meditations offered, but two things didn't work at all: 1. Entertaining the meditation teachers, even if only with gestures, during the meditation. 2. Urging one to participate in themed meditations even though one is not particularly interested. I expect mindfulness, empathy and consideration from a meditation center. Unfortunately I couldn't find it and I won't be going there again. A pity.

The Shambhala Center is a quiet, bright and welcoming place where everyone is welcome. I come here regularly to meditate and enjoy the warm exchange with each other, but also the extensive range and advanced courses.
