About
Green Tara practice has been used for centuries by people in times of need. The meditation and recitations of the mantra positively affect the subtle forces of the universe that influence everything in our lives. Tara's quality is compassion in action. She is ready to step off her seat, into the world, ready to give help where needed. This makes her practice especially appropriate for us at these times with the current pandemic having its effect on our lives.

Format
The sessions include calm abiding meditation, an introduction to the practice, visualisation, recitation of the mantra, and time for discussion and questions.
