Tara Gaia Transmission & Teachings


APRIL 21-24 2022

 
A Vajrayana-style deity practice inspired by Tara with a visualization and mantra of Gaia that dharma teacher, Cynthia Jurs received during intensive practice in retreat and has worked with privately for many years is now ready to be shared. This practice can serve as a profound enhancement to the Earth Treasure Vase Global Healing Meditation. 
 
This very special retreat will include a transmission ceremony, teachings, group practice and Q&A. Once one has received the teachings, an ongoing monthly practice group can be joined to deepen one’s understanding and keep the practice alive. 

A percentage of all registration fees will be donated to TreeSisters. Our group can plant a forest!

Cynthia Jurs is a Tibetan Buddhist lama and a Dharmacharya in the Order of Interbeing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh whose source of refuge and spiritual inspiration is Mother Earth; Gaia. In 1990, she made a life-changing pilgrimage to meet the hermit and meditation master, Kushok Mangden Charok Rinpoche, a 106-year-old lama living in a remote cave in Nepal from whom she received the practice of the Earth Treasure Vases when she asked him “What can we do to bring healing and protection to the Earth?” For 30 years, Cynthia has been building a global community committed to planetary healing and collective awakening in partnership with elders and activists around the world. Cynthia teaches an innovative blend of engaged buddhism and sacred activism through the Earth Treasure Vase Global Healing Project at the Open Way Sangha in Santa Fe, New Mexico and now, the international Gaia Mandala Community. For ten years, Cynthia has worked with the women in peace building and former combatants in Liberia, West Africa, teaching mindfulness and co-founding the Peace Hut Alliance for Conflict Transformation. Cynthia’s book, Summoned by the Earth, is forthcoming. www.GaiaMandala.net  www.EarthTreasureVase.org
