Estelle Van Pavert 3/24/2003	Shambhala Mountain Center is completely delightful. Highly recommend visiting this special place if you are interested in meditation or yoga.
Lila B 10/18/2008	I recently attended a weekend yoga workshop at Shambhala. The location is idealic. As I drove further and further from Colorado's congested Front Range, I already started feeling more peaceful and relaxed. The private accommodations are wonderful--I can't speak to the shared dorms or platform tents. The quality of teaching with Jill Satterfield was excellent, as was the yoga room. A peaceful place for retreat the fosters the inward journey. The tour of the Great Stupa was also wonderful.
Dave Platter 11/20/2003	I spent a summer at Shambhala Mountain Center and loved it so much I'm still working with them, even though I've moved back to New York City. It's a wonderful place. I recommend everyone try it, if for a weekend or a year.
Linda Tucker, Yoga & Meditation program 4/7/2013	“I love it here. It is a place where I can renew myself. I meditate and it helps me with my practice and knowing I have a support system when I come here. Having Katherine helps me with my meditation practice plus my yoga. Plus just coming to this sacred place helps me with my own mental health. I try to come here yearly as the center is so welcoming, the staff is so kind and I leave here feeling renewed making me hopefully become a better person and Buddhists and yoga student. Thanks!"
Meirui Zhang, high school student, IB Seniors trip 5/5/2013	“It was a fantastic trip and thank you so much for having us! The peaceful mountain view, fresh air, and you lovely people was just what all of us needed after a long arduous year. Thanks again for taking to time to teach us and I'm very glad I met all of you!”
Anonymous retreat participant 5/13/2013	“Thank you for a WONDERFUL stay! We loved the food and the beautiful flower arrangements. Thank you for creating such a restorative atmosphere.”
