Join us for a gentle introduction to the Green Tara practice, one of the most beloved and accessible practices in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Green Tara is revered as the feminine embodiment of enlightened activity and swift compassion. For centuries, practitioners have turned to her for protection from fears, obstacles, and inner turmoil.

“The beloved deity Tara is the feminine embodiment of enlightenment. For centuries, practitioners have turned to her for protection from both external and internal dangers, ranging from fire to anger and arrogance.”
— Thubten Chodron
