Dance of the 21 Qualities of Tara

Anjali, the Co-Founder of Austin Tara Circle and Shannon Gill of the Shift Foundation are co-hosting the Dance of the 21 Qualities of Tara and will be offering a monthly Tara Dance on the first Sundays at 2pm-4pm at Upekkha Retreat. 

The precious Tara Dance lineage empowers us so we can fully embody the Divine Feminine in our lives, nourishing and strengthening ourselves to shine our love and light to all we meet. 

The movements of these sacred dances are beautiful, simple, and powerful, inspired by Dances of Universal Peace in their simplicity and Classical Indian Dance in their symbolism and power of the mudra gestures. The visualizations and mantra are based on the Tibetan Buddhist practices of the Noble Tara. However, Mother Tara transcends any one religion, and ultimately our practice about manifesting the Divine Feminine archetypes from all spiritual traditions.

Our first practice will center on the Dance of the 21 Qualities of Tara, the preparation for the more elaborate Mandala Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara, which we will be working towards.

Our meditation will focus on Green Tara, the Central Tara of the Mandala, out of whom every manifestation is born. So please wear green or a green accessory to honor this Goddess. And bring an item for our altar if you like as well as a food offering to share with the group.

We are meeting in the magical (air-conditioned) Yurt at Upekkha Retreat in the heart of Wimberley at 321 Lea Lane... please save first Sundays of every month from 2-4PM on your calendar:

A suggested donation of $22 is appreciated to help cover event costs but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Future Dates to plan for: August 6- September 3- October 1- November 5- December 3

We can't wait to share these transformational sacred practices with you! In the meantime, Tara Dance, a video that will give you the flavor of what's to come!
