From Shambhala News Service:
22 Oct 2010 – Shambhala membership now 8,000 in 47 countries

Shambhala’s recorded membership worldwide reached 8,000 this month. The 8,000 Shambhala members recorded on the Shambhala database are spread across 47 countries, in addition to many more “friends of Shambhala”. There are currently 214 Shambhala centres and groups (including our major practice centres) worldwide.

Three new members brought us to this new global total: Corinne Lemieux of the Montreal Shambhala Centre, Kevin Curtis of the Boulder Shambhala Centre and Jane Noble of the London Shambhala Centre. This latest member in London brought the total membership of Shambhala Europe to 1,500.

Thanks go to the many people who maintain Shambhala’s membership records throughout the mandala and to Ed Keizer in Amsterdam who helps administer the Shambhala Database and spotted the fact that we had just reached the 8,000 mark.
