Heruka Vajrasattva Tsog Offering: A Practice of Purification and Renewal

This special practice is a powerful way to purify past negative actions, restore spiritual strength, and deepen our connection to the enlightened mind. The Heruka Vajrasattva Tsog is a sacred gathering that includes meditation, visualization, mantra recitation, and making offerings.

Heruka Vajrasattva represents the union of great compassion and wisdom, and this practice helps us reconnect with our own pure nature. 

All are welcome to join. If you are new, you’re invited to come, observe, and connect with the blessings of this profound ritual.

Saturday, July 5th, 9am to 3pm

Tara Practices

Join us for a transformative retreat dedicated to Arya Tara, the swift and compassionate manifestation of enlightened activity. Through meditation, mantra recitation, visualization, and teachings, we will connect deeply with Tara’s enlightened qualities—protection from fears, healing of obstacles, and the swift accomplishment of spiritual and worldly aims.

This retreat offers a sacred space for inner renewal, healing, and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion. Open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike, each session is designed to bring the living presence of Tara into your heart and daily life.

Whether you are seeking clarity, courage, or a deeper connection to the feminine aspect of awakening, this retreat invites you to step into Tara’s radiant, fearless energy.

Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland
