Tantric Initiation in Tara
A 3-Day Workshop on the Great Wisdom of Compassion, Kindness, and Awareness of Consciousness
Upcoming Dates:
Workshops / Classical Tantra / Tantric Initiation in Tara
Do You Feel a Longing for Transformation, Light, Love and Wisdom? The Guiding Star, Tara, Is Here, Waiting for You…
Join senior Hridaya teacher Simona Trandafir for an initiation in Tara, the Great Wisdom of compassion, kindness, and awareness of Consciousness.
Tara is one of the Ten Great Wisdoms—Dasha Mahavidya—and represents divine compassion, the awareness of the Consciousness, the guiding Star. Compassion is an incredibly deep feeling and, at the same time, an action full of Love. By understanding compassion more fully, you can rise above selfishness, the limits of personality, and a destiny of suffering.
You can’t be compassionate if you don’t let your heart speak and guide your actions. You cannot truly bring a soul out of suffering unless you show them a path of the Heart on which the pain will never come again.
Tara is also the awareness of Consciousness, wisdom as an expression of the essence of our being, without which we would live only superficially. Tara guides you to transcend the lower aspects of life, awakening true spiritual aspiration.
The Living Wisdom of the Dasha Mahavidya
The Dasha Mahavidya—the Ten Great Wisdoms express the fullness of Divine Wisdom as revealed in the Tantric tradition. Each Mahavidya opens a direct path to realization, supported by specific kinds of sadhana, or “spiritual practice,” that speak to distinct dimensions of consciousness.
At the heart of this path lies the rediscovery of the Spiritual Heart, Atman—the silent center of Being, where discernment, love, and freedom arise spontaneously.
An Open Invitation
Each encounter with the Ten Mahavidya is essential. No step on this path is accidental or unnecessary. Every Great Wisdom reveals a unique facet of consciousness and contributes to the organic unfolding of spiritual understanding.
This program is open to all, including those who have not participated in previous Mahavidya workshops. What is asked is not prior knowledge, but sincerity of aspiration and openness of heart.

The Initiatory Process
In this workshop, each sincere participant will experience:
- An initiation in the mantra of Tara
- Nada Yoga meditation—connecting and empowering yourself with the subtle sound of Tara
- Hridaya Meditation—reconnecting with the Spiritual Heart
- An exploration of the secret power of yantra
- Tantric Cosmogony
- Meditations for being aware of Supreme Self
- The Philosophy of Compassion
- Practical methods from Buddhism for awakening compassion
- The ABCs of Tantric ritual science
- Japa, or “mantra repetition,” using a mala, or “rosary”
- Hridaya Hatha Yoga sessions
These practices ultimately lead to the stillness of the Heart. Over the course of three days, this workshop will help you to open to the Consciousness of the Spiritual Heart and reconsider life from this perspective.
“Discernment is the clear recognition of the difference between the eternal and the non-eternal. This is accompanied by dispassion toward the fruits of actions, here and hereafter, mastery of inner calm and related virtues, and an intense longing for liberation.”
