Youngstown - Ohio

Scheduled Events

The dancing Tara Dakinis of Youngstown meet regularly. Julie Thomas is the main facilitator. They have developed a “mission statement”:

We dance to ….

empower the sacred feminine energy of wisdom, compassion and skillful means within us by connecting to Tara…

increase awareness of the places we get stuck because of habitual negative patterns so that we can free ourselves and teach others how they too can free themselves…

restore the imbalances within our lives and in the community and larger world through offering this meditation in movement

Please visit our latest schedule for future Dates of upcoming meetings.

Sacred Dance: Meditation in Movement, Wisdom, Compassion, Power,
The Dance of the 21 Praises of Tara

This meditation combines sound and movement with the Buddhist principles of wisdom, compassion, and skillful means. These meditative movements integrate body, speech and mind though simple, yet powerful dance and chanting. The dance involves simple, graceful, tai-chi like movements done in conjunction with Tara mantras, a traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice. By focusing attention and identifying with an embodiment of enlightenment in female form, participants arouse and bring into being their own wisdom, compassion and power.

No prior experience with Buddhism or dance is necessary.
