The Madison Shambhala Center was delighted to attend the sixth annual Nelson Institute Earth Day Summit on April 16th at the Monona Terrace. This year’s theme was sustainability, security and happiness on a finite planet. Among the many interesting speakers was Lyonpo Yeshe Zimbo, the Minister of Works and Human Settlement for the Kingdom of Bhutan, who spoke on Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness metric. Mark Blumenfeld, our center’s director of Practice and Education, participated on a panel discussion entitled “Environment and Mindfulness: Traditions and Practices” and our center staffed a table in the exhibit’s hall with information on Shambhala and the Windhorse retreat center.
