I have a pretty sensitive BS barometer. I've been to tai chi and chi gong classes and attended…read moremeditation classes and usually was turned off by teachers who I felt did not walk the talk and came off as being inauthentic and phony (okay, maybe my bs barometer is too sensitive....) I first saw Mingtong Gu at Spirit Rock meditation center in Woodacre. I was desperately seeking a way to manage a disorder I have that causes unexpected and unpredictable vertigo spells and was reaching the end of my rope. As I was sitting waiting for the workshop to begin, Mingtong appeared next to me and flashed me a bright, genuine smile. I found it hard to believe this was the "grand master", but as he took the stage and began to speak, I saw that in fact he was all he had been described to be and more. I was blown away, not so much by the practice, but by Mingtong's presence, his sense of humor, his joy, his patience, and an inner beauty that is infectious. His wife Lingling is equally gifted, and together they have brought a wonderfully powerful healing practice to the Bay Area and beyond. After my two day workshop at Spirit Rock, I signed up for a 12 day retreat in Santa Rosa. I had never been on a retreat before and have never been serious about any practice. I'm basically a slug and would rather watch Real Housewives of New Jersey than dedicate myself to a regular practice of anything. Yet, I was infected by the enthusiasm that Mingtong brings to his teachings. I have made a commitment to doing 3 hours of practice every day, but find myself doing more, as practice involves not only physical exercise, but also visualizations, sound healing, and listening to CDs of Mingtong and Lingling. I feel happier and more grounded than I have ever felt in my life. I have not had a vertigo attack in two weeks and am confident that through this practice I will find total health and wholeness. If you are dealing with a terminal or incurable illness, I highly recommend signing up for one of Mingtong's intensive retreats where you will find a practice and a community of support that will change your life. However, even if you feel you are healthy, I still recommend doing one of his retreats. You will find wisdom and healing and access to an unlimited source of energy and joy. I can only give Mingtong 5 stars because that is the maximum, but he actually deserves a Milky Way full of stars.

Members have a good sense of humor and it's a fun place to be. I moved to Santa Fe a few months ago and love going here. I went to the DW center in Chicago and to many around the world, the curriculum is always the same. It's laid-back, you learn everything at your own pace. Meditation cushions are there already. You don't need to bring anything. There are no monks/nuns, the main teacher is from Copenhagen and everyone dresses casually /contemporary. Public meditation nights are Thurs 7:30 and Sun 11am. The meditation is guided and usually there is a 10min talk on a Buddhist topic right before by one of the members. The Way Things Are or Entering The Diamond Way are books by Lama Ole Nydahl that give a taste of what it's all about. It's very interesting how Buddhism has moved from the east to the west! Ole Nydahl is the main teacher and there are over 600 DW centers worldwide. He is 78 yrs old and travels to the different centers giving lectures. He asked some who have been practicing for awhile to also give basic teachings, so when you visit the center you can ask questions to them. Hope this helps!

Following a disappointing stay, we did some research and found out about the history of sexual abuses by the former guru. says nothing on the website. After learning that, how odd to have a book in the room called "Extraordinary Sex". and then to have a sliding glass door to the porch, that didn't fully close or lock. Felt odd. the heating system they bragged about by phone, geothermal, is so old and had so much air in the pipes that it was extremely loud and those of us in two separate rooms could NOT sleep. they would not give details about the meals at the retreat center, although the website mentions them. there was a meal the night we were there. Several people, none wearing latex or nitrile gloves, all cutting and mixing raw vegetables, which would be served, uncooked. no wonder they hesitated to discuss meals. We did not partake. The person who booked us, and offered that we could join in for meditation, had no knowledge that the days we booked were the staff's and volunteers' days off of practice. So no zen practice at the zen center. The next night we stayed at an AirBNB which is attached to a high-end restaurant. The restaurant wasn't open but we learned that the abbess of the retreat center had eaten there during the week prior. Nice place, prixe fixe at $95 per plate. Maybe there's another story to that, but don't zen practitioners follow a life of simplicity? The soaking pools are FULL of algae. Slippery and nowhere to sit on a clean rock. People in our party all got swimmers itch, it is carried by a parasite commonly found in ducks. Guess what domesticated waterfowl are kept in a pen uphill of the soaking pools? Enjoy your stay!

Be sure to arrive on time or early! They lock their door as soon as the session starts.read more

While my experience in a class may be different from the average visit to the Shambhala Center, I did get to interact with the established members and followed the center's philosophy throughout the entire week (some of the practices that took place I won't describe because they are meant to be sacred). However, I can say that everyone that participated created a comfortable and intimate atmosphere that moved us all. Overall, the exercises focused on Dharma art, a Buddhist practice of creating and existing through your own nature--included a lot of meditation to free the mind. While the practices were derived from Buddhist teachings, I wouldn't say this was a religious retreat. Basically, the week was about being vulnerable and opening up to others in order to empower yourself. Something we all need once in a while.
