Join us for an evening of teaching, meditation, and discussion centered on Green Tara, the embodiment of swift, compassionate action in the face of suffering. Together, we will explore how Tara’s qualities of protection, fearlessness, and awakened heart can support us in keeping our hearts open, toward ourselves, others, and the Earth, especially during challenging times.
It is often easier to be loving and kind when we feel safe, healthy, and at ease. But how do we remain compassionate when life becomes difficult, uncertain, or overwhelming? Through guided meditation, mantra practice, and the wisdom of the dharma, we will learn how to draw upon Green Tara’s energy as a living support, cultivating compassion and peace not as distant ideals, but as embodied qualities we can touch right now in our own bodies and minds.
This gathering is open to all; no prior experience needed.
