White Tara Retreat: Healing, Longevity & Inner Renewal
Event description
White Tara, radiant and peaceful, is revered as the embodiment of healing, vitality, and long life. Her practice strengthens our connection to inner peace, resilience, and wellbeing — qualities much needed in a world of constant change and challenge.
During this weekend retreat, Venerable Tony Beaumont will guide us into the profound yet accessible practice of White Tara. Through teachings, guided meditation, and mantra recitation, we will explore how to draw on White Tara’s blessings for physical and mental health, as well as for the deep renewal of our spiritual journey.
What to Expect
Teachings on White Tara’s symbolism, qualities, and relevance for modern practitioners.
Guided meditations and mantra recitation to connect with Tara’s healing energy.
Discussions and Q&A to explore how Tara’s practice can support daily life.
Space for silence and reflection in the peaceful setting of Mahamudra Centre.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. No prior knowledge of Buddhism is required — simply an openness to explore practices that bring peace and resilience.
Why White Tara?
White Tara is associated with vitality, health, and longevity, but her blessings extend beyond physical wellbeing. She represents the inner strength and clarity we need to live fully and compassionately. Practicing with White Tara can support us in caring for ourselves, others, and our world with greater awareness and balance.
