Dear Readers –

As you may know, in Fall 2018, operations of the Shambhala Times were suspended due to budget cuts. We are delighted to share that now, thanks to a generous grant from the Shambhala Trust and the European Donor Group, Shambhala Times operations have now resumed.

Beginning this week, we will offer new stories, book reviews and other items of interest on a weekly basis. As operations resume, we aim to increase our weekly offerings, as well as offer links to other resources such as new programming on Shambhala Online, and highlighting ways to connect and support each other in person.

It is our hope that during this challenging time for the Shambhala sangha, the Times can be a supportive resource to our community.  By spotlighting diverse voices from across our mandala, we aspire to create meaningful connections across our global membership, as well as keeping you up-to-date with the latest community news.

To that end, earlier this month, our team requested the help of former Shambhala Times editors Jennifer Holder, Holly Gayley and Sarah Lipton. These editors have each offered unique contributions to the Times during its lifetime, and we are pleased that they have agreed to help the next incarnation of the Times by sharing their wisdom and aspirations for its growth, as well as their own original content.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Carol Henderson for her tireless dedication to the Times as this completes her transition out of her role as editor.  For the past several years, and through the last difficult months, Carol has steered the Times with love and devotion, and we are so grateful for her leadership.

Lastly, we hope you will consider joining this effort.  Do you have a voice or story to share? Are you interested in sharing news about your local Shambhala community? Please e-mail us at [email protected] to explore how you can become a contributor.

With warmth,

Ashley Dinges and the Shambhala Times team
