Spiritual Director: Ian Prattis Email (Phone: 613 726 0881)
Notes and Events:
At Pine Gate the resident teacher is Ian Prattis - True Body of Wisdom. Ian is a poet, scholar, peace and environmental activist. He encourages people to find their true nature so that humanity and the world may be renewed. He has trained with masters in Buddhist, Vedic and Shamanic traditions and maintains that:
“Our engagement with society and the environment rests on our quality of being. When that quality is rooted in stillness there is a different ground for subsequent actions and so events take a different course. We simply go home to our true nature. We are very active in this way and bring harmony to those we interact with. The most significant interaction is with our true nature. To connect to its boundless quality in daily life, and then to connect to others and the world in the same way is surely the ticket to ride!”
There are regular meetings for meditation and study every Thursday evening from 7.00pm – 9.00pm. The first Saturday of every month has a Mindfulness Gathering from 5.00pm – 8.00pm for dharma and a mindful meal.

Spiritual Director: Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
Notes and Events:
The Saint John Shambhala Meditation Group is a local group of meditation practioners inspired by the Shambhala Buddhist teachings of basic goodness and enlightened society. We are affliated with Shambhala International whose spiritual head is the Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
Our community of meditation practioners meets Wednesday evenings at 7:00-9:00 to strengthen our individual practice and learn more about meditation. We meet in "The Sitting Room" at 42 Wentworth St. near King St. E. We meditate together for an hour, followed by tea and discussion or contemplation based on selected readings.
Instruction is provided for newcomers in "shamatha" meditation, or the practice of "peaceful abiding". Meditation is a natural state of the human mind - at rest, open, alert. The basic meditation technique predates all religious traditions, though it is used in one way or another by each of them. Undertaken as a steady practice, meditation allows the mind to relax and settle. It encourages our inherent qualities of stability, clarity and mental strength to emerge.
Occasionally we host weekend meditation programs directed by senior teachers. These activities are usually coordinated with other Shambhala centers in the Maritime region with whom we share resources and maintain contact. Please check our website to see if there are any upcoming programs in the near future.
