Jessica Van Antwerp, one of our members, is excited to announce that she is now the sole owner of her international wellness adventure company Integral Travel. She is excited to make some changes to her trip programs, including having taken the Thai massage training out of the trips to open up her offerings to a wider audience. The journeys will instead rest on a foundation of daily mindfulness practices that combine yoga, qigong, and meditation in a unique and accessible way, but will continue to provide immersive travel experiences that Integral Travel has been known for for over 15 years. And she is excited to have just launched the marketing campaign for her next trip to Thailand in February 2019. None of this would have been possible for her without the support of the Shambhala community and on her behalf, we are extending you all her immense gratitude!

Thanks to our members, borrowers and many other important community partners!
The incidents of recently alleged misconduct in Tibetan Buddhist spiritual communities are highly unfortunate and unacceptable. That said, it is vital to understand that Shambhala Credit Union is not owned by any religious or other entity. Our organization has no ties to the actions of the individuals accused of this misconduct. We highly value our member/shareholders and strive to serve them with the utmost respect, safety and compassion.
Starting on September, 1st 2018, Shambhala Credit Union will be locating its offices to 1345 Spruce Street in Boulder. The office will include a separate, outside entrance from Spruce Street. This move will make the credit union much more accessible and visible to our field of membership, and further our goal of making sane financial resources available to the community by helping finance all kinds of personal business and social initiatives. We look forward to better visibility in this bustling part of downtown Boulder!
A wonderful interview with our President, Alex Halpern, by Shay Castle on June 25, 2016.
King Ashoka was a prominent and legendary historical figure who lived in India during the 2nd Century BC. It is said that he converted to Buddhism after seeing the terrible carnage of the Kalinga War, which he initiated. In his 1920 book Outline of History HG Wells writes, “Amidst the tens of thousands of names of monarchs that crowd the columns of history, their majesties and graciousnesses and serenities and royal highnesses and the like, the name of Ashoka shines, and shines, almost alone, a star.”
