Lama Palden Drolma – The Awakened Feminine of Tara

The Awakened Feminine of Tara – Lama Palden Drolma

Embody the wisdom and love at the core of who you are — your sustaining, yet transforming fountain of awakened presence — through a profound connection with Tara.

Receive Tara’s many blessings to help you release unbeneficial narratives, woundings, and shame, and open to her authentic reflection of you as YOUR pure nature.

What would it be like to allow yourself to deeply and fully connect with the compassionate, wrathful, tenderly receptive, unapologetically truthful, sensual, free-spirited, wise woman within you — the all-encompassing awakened feminine?

This sacred self of the ancients — that’s also quite human — is within all women…

And she’s waiting… for you to remember her, for you to see her as the truth of who you are, to step into your pure essential nature — that is her.

Tara, who Tibetans see as the most beloved enlightened being, the female buddha, the Savioress, can mirror this full-spectrum feminine within you.

She’s the mother you never had — primordial and enlightened, inseparable with the vast cosmos — yet she comes into embodiment so that we can connect with her and receive her blessings.

These blessings are not all light and love, however…

Her path also takes us through the muckiness of our inner obstacles — our stuck behaviors, self-defeating thoughts, and emotional woundings — helping us to transform them into fertile ground for our own unique blossoming.

Ultimately, she leads us to the freedom and liberation we seek… that have been there for us all along.

This powerful new program with Lama Palden Drolma, one of the first Western women authorized as a lama, invites you — over the course of seven modules — to experience the embodiment of the awakened feminine within you as reflected by Tara.

Through a culminating meditative series on Tara — reaching an experiential integration in the final session — you’ll receive her many blessings and heartfully open to her reflection of you, your pure nature.

You’ll meditate with focused intent on this beloved deity, allowing her to reach out to you with her infinite compassion, love, and healing energies.

And as you open to her, you’ll open to her healing transmission of awakened body, right speech, and clarity of mind.
Over the 7 modules of this viscerally experiential, transformative inner journey, you’ll:

Discover Tara’s origin and her embodiment of the awakened full-spectrum feminine
Realize how each part of you is essentially sacred, and how Tara mirrors this for you
Become familiar with both formless and form meditations
Explore how to maintain wakefulness and clarity of mind while letting go and relaxing into the boundless compassion and love inherent in non-dual awareness
Find sanctuary within by opening to the buddhas’ and dakinis’ awakened presence of wisdom and love
Discover the profound meaning of Tara’s seed syllable and mantra, and how to meditate on these to instantly connect with her
Receive the nourishing, soothing, healing grace of Tara’s divine blessing
Discover how to let go of your negative thoughts about yourself, and open to the innate goodness of who you truly are
With Tara as your model, find out how to work with your ego self or human self with an awakened mind
Be given an inquiry practice that can unlock your blocks to spiritual development and awakening
And much more…

Tara helps you connect with the wisdom and love at the core of who you are — the sustaining, transforming fountain of awakened presence in your own heart.

Over the course of this profound new training, you’ll learn and develop a spiritual practice, which you can return to again and again throughout your lifetime, that can help you let go of what stands between you and the awakened feminine within you.

You’ll find out how to extend loving kindness to yourself and others in very real and authentic ways, and connect with yourself and the world, healed, renewed, and with a fresh and enlivened perspective.

Lama Palden was authorized as a lama in 1986 by her root teacher, Kalu Rinpoche, following her completion of the traditional Tibetan 3-year, 3-month retreat.

She’s been a student and practitioner of Buddhism and of comparative mysticism for over 40 years. She’s known for her gift in helping her students actualize their innate wisdom and joy, and is committed to supporting the balance between her students’ inner and outer lives, and to their individuation process.

In this new online course with her, Lama Palden will guide you in opening to Tara’s potent energies to awaken her peacefulness, wisdom, fierce clarity, compassion, and healing powers already within you… empowering and liberating you to step beyond duality and settle into the fullness of yourself and your life.
