meditation weekend retreats
N ew at Tara Centre this year are ‘Meditation Weekend Retreats’. These retreats will use the meditation C.D's available from Tharpa publications as their basis, allowing those attending to support their practice with these recordings after the course is finished. Following a relaxed schedule, this weekend will be an ideal way to gain some familiarity with these beautiful meditations under the guidance of an experienced meditator.
