  • Meeting these Times with Courageous Love

    Meeting these Times with Courageous Love
    Feb 6 2025

    Many recognize that love is the antidote to the suffering in our divided world, yet finding the path to an open heart can feel more challenging than ever. This talk explores the full spectrum of love—both tender and open, as well as fierce, protective, and engaged. When we cultivate this courageous love, we are able to hold even those we see as enemies in our hearts. In its true form, this love is not passive or soft. As Martin Luther King Jr. described, it is a powerful soul force, capable of bringing healing and liberation to all beings.

    In this talk, Tara explores:

    • how mindfulness serves as a powerful tool for cultivating compassionate awareness
    • the importance of unarming our heart as a pathway to Radical Acceptance,
    • the deep connection between courage and an awake heart
    • the true connection that arises when we fully arrive in the moment.
    • the power of the “sacred pause”—how presence allows us to open to love in difficult times

  • The Infinite Game - From Self-Improvement to Spiritual Freedom

    The Infinite Game - From Self-Improvement to Spiritual Freedom
    Jan 30 2025

    While meditation is widely practiced in today’s world, many miss the opportunity to tap into its profound potential to awaken the heart and mind. Beyond its surface benefits, meditation can guide us to the radiant light, boundless love, and pure awareness that is our true nature. This reflection explores how we often lose touch with the deeper possibility meditation offers, and guides us in approaching practice and daily life in a way that opens us to the timeless freedom and awakening of a Buddha.

    In this week’s talk, Tara explores:

    • Ways that deepening our meditation practice can help us navigate personal and collective challenges with greater ease.
    • The power of mindful presence to awaken compassion and build resilience in the face of difficulty.
    • Self-compassion as an essential practice for healing and reconnecting with our inner goodness.
    • The transformative role of spiritual community (sangha) in nurturing belonging and shared purpose.
    • How the practices of mindfulness and self-compassion can help us awaken from habitual reactivity and find a greater sense of connectedness and freedom.

Peace in a podcast

Tara’s delivery and humor help to process our human experience, ancient wisdom & humor. I notice in times of heightened anxiety or stress in my life, that listening to this podcast soothes the anxious mind & body, and aids in purging the tension & replaced with strategies, meditation, knowledge, all very easily digestible. Tara drops wisdom & draws connection in a way that is so applicable to our modern world.
