Green Tara sits with one foot in the meditative posture and one foot in the world, thus embodying active compassion and serving as a model for modern day contemplative life. In this self-paced program, you have the opportunity to learn to embody Green Tara, the female Buddha of compassion, who provides protection from fears and obstacles.

Key Features

What Will I Learn?

Who Is This Course For?

  • For both beginning and seasoned practitioners, Green Tara is one of the most profound yet simple practices of Tibetan Buddhism.
  • Perfect for men, women, and those who identify as non-binary, who are looking to bring the energy of compassion more fully into their lives.
