Tara is the Tibetan Buddhist Bodhisattva of Compassion and Wisdom, and like the Hindu Goddesses, she is the Divine Mother who protects, inspires, and guides us all.
Join us in a rich paradise land of devotional dance, artistic exploration, prayer and meditation.
Since 1985 the Mandala Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara has traveled throughout the world. Tara Dhatu is the international organization that was formed at the request of His Eminence Tai Situ Rinpoche. The organization is dedicated to empowering and uplifting humanity through the sacred arts. It has grown to sponsor workshops and trainings in the Tara Dance and other Dharma Dances, offering celebrations, pilgrimages of citizen diplomacy, and an array of Humanitarian Projects seeking to benefit the Tibetans-in-exile and other groups in need. The Tara Dance has been offered to many great Tibetan Teachers including His Holiness the Dalai Lama who have praised and encouraged the spread of this practice. The Tara Dance has been performed by thousands of people of all ages, nationalities, and walks of life. A moving meditation and embodied expression of the ancient prayers and tantric practices of the Great Mother Tara, the Mandala of the 21 Praises of Tara is a life transforming experience for all those who dance it or witness it and Phoenix has been proudly hosting monthly meetings and annual public offering for over a decade. Join us! Dance the Goddess! Realize the truth of being inherent in you and all: Wisdom, Compassion, and Power!
