Embracing God through the Godly Attributes

Embracing God through the Godly Attributes

Book Now
Free
Sunday 19th November
London
7-8:30pm

The great spiritual traditions of our planet have asserted that we are created in the image and likeness of God. Yet what is this image really? How is God reflected in us? And what exactly does resemblance mean?   

In this evening we will explore the spiritual revelation of the Godly Attributes – the endless characteristics or traits of the Godly Being, such as Love, Goodness, Omnipotence, Eternity, Justice, Compassion, Infinity, without which we could not even conceive or relate to God.    

Join us to discover how through the Godly Attributes it is made possible for us to know and feel in a direct, ineffable and intuitive way the intimate nature of that mysterious aspect of the Godly reality deepening our closeness with God in our everyday life.

Friday 6th October
London
7 – 8:30pm

The Café series continues this Friday 6th October with the topic of Angels! 

Are you curious about angels yet you never asked? Have you had experiences of angels yet you have never had the chance to share? 

One Friday evening each month the beautiful Parvati room in our London centre will be turned into a cosy café.

Tea and cake will be available of course, but the main purpose will be to engage in meaningful conversation, dialogue and sharing with like-minded people on a specific topic. 

These café evenings will be more informal conversations, rather than lectures or presentations. A Tara teacher with relevant experience on the topic will be there to guide the conversation, and members can contribute with their experiences, questions or revelations.    

We hope to see you there!

7 – 8:30pm

The Café series continues Friday 8th September with an open discussion on discerning challenging situations in relationships. Engaging with the dynamic dance that can either lead to positive transformation or destructive clashes of ego.  

They say challenges make us wiser and stronger, but they can also be the last nail in the relationship coffin! Love versus pain, forgiveness versus vengeance, effort and sacrifice versus giving up… Let’s debate together.

Beyond its religious connotations, grace is a universal energy through which the awakened heart can fully interact with the power beyond individual, linear ways of living.  

Ancient wisdom described how grace, even though a completely free and unknown energy, manifests in fundamental ways. And there are ways we can call grace to shine upon us, and ways to open to receive and perceive the works of grace. 

Discover more about the mechanisms of grace and its mysteries in this enlightening talk, including both theory and practice.

Angels are Here podcast

Angels are here and yet…we forget to connect with them in our everyday lives. Ever modest and respectful of our free will  they will never intervene unless they are called. As human beings we feel close to Angels, resonating with their light and their loving presence, feeling peace and reassurance. But we forget to ask for their support. An angel can remind us how to be our magnificent selves. An angel can protect us from sadness, and guide us when we go astray, shining a light on our paths home. An angel can personify the qualities we wish to manifest in our lives.

Angels, The Bridge to God (blog article)

“Every visible thing in this world is put in the charge of an angel” ~ St Augustine

Angels are beings of light, and they are described in many different religions and spiritual traditions as well as by ordinary people. They are described as being the guardians of man, messengers of God, facilitators of the Will of God, and supporters and protectors of the manifestation, of the entire world with their enormous power. Angels are beings of Truth, Purity, Love, Harmony, Perfection and Wisdom. They are beings of a higher vibration that inspire, protect and guide. They are the connection, or the bridge between Heaven and Earth.

7 – 8.30pm

Many of us go through life under the influence of negative habits from our past, and become the ‘victims’ of the unpleasant results of these habits. It can be a struggle to change our habits and thought patterns. 

Karma is a Sanskrit word meaning action or work. It also signifies cause and effect, whereby each action a person performs in life – including thoughts and speech – will affect him or her at some point in the future.  

Through karma, we receive the lessons we need to learn so that we can evolve spiritually. Everything that happens in our lives occurs because of karma, because of our past actions, including those from previous lives.

This means that everything we experience happens for a reason – nothing is insignificant. 

We have the power to create both good and bad experiences, and we can learn to reduce and even eliminate the regretful poor choices that we make, that may be at the expense of someone else or of ourselves. But both ‘bad’ and ‘good’ karma enchain us in our spiritual evolution, slowing our journey on the path to liberation. 

Discover profound insights into the nature of karma, and some methods for your transformation and for ‘burning’ your karma.

The Role of Women in Persian Culture

The Role of Women in Persian Culture

Book Now
Free
Sunday 11th June
London
7 – 8:30pm

Within the Tantric tradition, women are considered to be the force of inspiration and transformation, the energy that elevates and liberates the spirit. Within this talk we will be looking at the role of femininity more specifically within the Persian culture, to discover the unique and powerful ways femininity can come to life and influence an entire nation. 

Contrary to common belief, Persian women have traditionally lived extremely liberal lives, actively participated in all areas of society, been the force behind the most powerful kings, and were viewed as a valuable asset to Persian society. 

Persian Culture, as we know it, has developed through a tapestry of Zoroastrianism, Sufism and modern-day Islamic influences.  

The discussion regarding Persian women would not be complete without honouring the words of Persian Sufi poets such as Hafiz and Rumi:  

Woman is a ray of God. She is not that earthly beloved: she is creative, not created.

– Rumi

Through their timeless writing, we discover a true depiction of the role women have played in spirituality, referring to one of the most repetitive themes in Persian poetry: wine of ecstasy, the wine bearer Saghi, and being in a state of ecstatic intoxication of love for divinity. 

Other arts mostly associated with women in this region, such as dancing, carpet weaving, culinary heritage and storytelling will also be described to demonstrate the significant impact on the culture through the synergy created between spirituality and creativity. 

“God is never seen immaterially; and the vision of Him in (a) woman is the most perfect of all.” Rumi 

This talk will offer a true perspective on the nature of the feminine role in the Persian culture, aiming to bring us closer to the mystery of Persian femininity. It will aim to overcome many of the stereotypes that cast a shadow on the role of women in this vast region, and leave an enriching insight into the complex nuances offered by the women of Persia.
