Programmes and Workshops

The holistic philosophy which informs the Tara Centre’s vision encourages intellectual inquiry and shapes a wide range of healing and life-enhancing initiatives.

The Educational Seminars and Workshops offered at Tara provide participants with the opportunity to explore the meaning of life, to grow in understanding of the human psyche
and its potential, to learn and appreciate the culture and history of this country and these islands towards building a reconciled society, to experience stillness and peace through meditation and mindful living, and to grow in awareness of the interconnectedness of the whole of life.
