(This event is members only)
More than just a school, Tara is a community. A community of like-minded spiritual beings seeking a path of transformation. And while each one must walk their own path, there is a great benefit and need of support, guidance, friendship and reassurance from good friends and teachers walking the same path.
This school is founded upon its teachings and shared spiritual values. It is sustained by the people within who spread these teachings and share these values. A lot of “work” goes into establishing a spiritual community and this work is aimed to be done in the state of Karma Yoga – selfless giving. Karma Yoga is an attitude, when realised correctly can lead us all the way to spiritual realisation.
Because it is so important and such a useful tool on the spiritual path, we will run a 3-hour workshop for our students to explore and understand the attitude of Karma Yoga, meet people who have been working with this for many years, and to discover how we can get involved personally, should we choose to do so.

Opportunities to practise karma yoga in Tara
Help is always welcome at Tara and a great chance to practise karma yoga together with some of our full-time karma yogis. The type and quantity of help offered by our students and members of the community vary a lot. Some people volunteer every week on reception, some help out as and when on events while others work on specific tasks like interviewing students or reviewing events. There is no fixed formula and everyone has something to offer that can be of use to the centre and the community. But just to give you a flavour, here are some common areas where help is always welcome:
Reception
Maintenance of the centre
General admin
Database management
Website management and SEO
Content creation
Journalism
Photo and video production

Faqs
Do you have to be able to commit hours to help in order to join the workshop?
No. This workshop is open to any student of Tara. Even if you just want to understand the notions of Karma Yoga in order to apply to your day job, you are still very welcome to join.
I don’t think I have relevant skills to offer. Should I still come?
Of course. Everybody has SOMETHING to offer. This workshop may just help you discover the gift you have.
I am very interested but unfortunately, I am not available on Friday the 4th. Is there any way I can still get involved?
Yes. In this case please contact foca@tarayogacentre.co.uk or speak with Kate.
