In this mini-retreat Geshela offers four sessions that includes teaching, visualization practice and meditation with breaks between them.  Green Tara, a Tibetan feminine meditation deity, represents fearlessness, the swift ability to save beings from danger and fear, and protection from suffering. Green Tara is perceived as giving powerful help to remove obstacles. These obstacles may be external or within our own mind - anything that causes us suffering or prevents us from being happy. Cost on a Sliding Scale: $40, $50 or $60 which also includes lunch. Register HERE or call.
