Gampo Abbey is a Buddhist monastery in the Shambhala tradition, located in Nova Scotia, Canada. Mindful meditation lies at the core of the teachings of Shambhala and Gampo Abbey caters purely to residents who wish to become nuns and monks. The resort also hosts a very limited number of solitary retreats for referred guests who wish to deepen their studies without joining the monastic residents. Visitors who would like to learn about the teachings of Shambhala can join various retreats and programs at the Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado, where a safe and supportive environment welcomes visitors who wish to develop compassion and focus their minds.
