May your time be filled with auspicious occurrences and a feeling of belonging. Your Whole Being is Welcome Here.

“I know it’s time for retreat at Tara Mandala when the feeling of overwhelm is a constant companion. Slowly the world of deadlines and decisions drops away as I settle into my cozy confines, feeling the resonance of those who have come before, knowing the sought-after wisdom is here, awaiting my arrival on the cushion.”
