Open to EVERYONE.

This 4-week online series will expand upon the topics shared in the Embodying Tara: The Divine Feminine to Power Your Compassion, Intuition, and Joy course, however, it can also be taken on it’s own. All are welcome.

Tara, the female Buddha of compassion, is called the “Savioress” because she is known for saving beings from the ocean of samsara (suffering). Her name also means “star” as she is as infinite as the stars in the sky. Ultimately, she represents the essential nature of your own mind, your buddha nature, and in this way, she can manifest in each and every one of us in a myriad of different ways. The twenty-one aspects of Tara appear in the 11th century tantric text called the Twenty-One Praises to Tara, a devotional hymn popular in Tibetan Buddhism, from which Chandra’s book, Embodying Tara, draws its teachings and practices. 

We will have the time to expand upon the Tara’s taught in the weekend series, furthering your knowledge of the various Taras found in the twenty-one Tara pantheon. You will learn meditations and mantras for many of the twenty-one Taras, as well as hear stories of real life women who embody their qualities. They will inspire you to bring these aspects of Tara alive in yourself, bringing your body, mind, and soul into alignment with your own enlightened nature. 

We will invite Tara’s awakened energy to come alive in ourselves through:

  • Insight into core Buddhist concepts and teachings;
  • Guided Tara meditations;
  • Mantra recitation and chanting;
  • Exploration of the lives of real women and movements that embody Tara’s enlightened activities.
  • And Journeys with the Taras, a guided personal process whereby we learn from and embody their wisdom.

 

All are welcome. No prior meditation or knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism is required
