Retreat Team:

Amarachandra

Shraddhagita

Retreat Type:

Tara. Earth Goddess, Moon of Wisdom, Beautiful Queen, Midnight Star. This intensive meditation retreat will explore the many forms and qualities of Tara: her compassion, fearlessness and spontaneity. The week will be full of devotion, offerings and silent contemplation of the loveliness and abundance of her realm in Summer time.

FOR THIS EVENT THE MAIN MEDITATION SPACE WILL BE IN A MARQUEE. CAMPING SPACES ONLY NOW. NO BED SPACES. (You can email admin@taraloka.co.uk if you wish to be on a waiting list in case a bed becomes available.)

*Please read and ensure you are able to comply with Taraloka's COVID 19 policies including around travel BEFORE booking your retreat. This retreat is able to run with full social distancing in place if needed. If you are unable to attend this retreat due to Government Covid 19 laws we will offer a full refund.*

The week will be full of devotion and offerings as we dedicate ourselves to Tara’s vision, and hopefully receive her blessings. The retreat will be held mainly in silence, and will have a strong emphasis on the collective aspects of practice. By honouring this collective dimension, the body of the retreat, we can create the ground from which the heart of Compassion - the love for all beings in this world - arises.

Paying for your retreat

Taraloka runs on generosity.

To book a retreat you pay a booking fee. This is the only charge made for coming on retreat. We want Taraloka retreats to be available to any woman, whatever her financial situation.

At the end of your retreat, you have the opportunity to give money towards Taraloka. If you are able to donate, you are giving to another woman who otherwise could not afford to come on retreat. And you are helping to give the gift of Taraloka to the women of the future.
