Awakening the Divine Feminine
Rare Opportunity!
A three-day retreat to connect with the compassionate wisdom of the Great Mother, Holy Tara.
Friday 19th of Sept 1pm and Full days (Sat & Sun 20th /21st of Sept)
Receive profound empowerments and experiential teachings of the Twenty-One Taras of Suryagupta from prominent Tibetan Buddhist master, Lama Choedak Rinpoche.
Deepen your experience of the divine feminine.
For Tibetans, Tara is the most beloved of all the female awakened beings. Green Tara’s primary activity is one of protection from fear and danger, and she is committed to responding swiftly the moment that we call upon her. Through visualization, mantra, and silent meditation, we deepen our experience of the divine feminine while simultaneously awakening this quality of compassion that is innate to our being yet often obscured.
The Green Tara practice transforms our distorted view of self and helps us recognize our innate radiant, compassionate nature.
