Yes I was home, reconnected into the vibration of my own country. I realised I had linked again with my true essence through the Tara Dancing practice. I was overjoyed and I was eager to learn more. What makes this practice extraordinary and effective are the meditations that accompany the dances, which awaken the innate capacity of the heart. Resting in wisdom, radiating love, a special energy field is generated and deep insight arises. Everyone comes for a different reason, sometimes conscious, sometimes unconscious. We dance for peace, healing, love, clarity, joy, prosperity, enlightenment and much more. Over the following months I attended every meeting. I learnt all I could. I had found my passion again. At the request of Clare (local Tara dance teacher), who was going into retreat for eight months, I started facilitating the Tara Dance circle in Napier. I enrolled in the TARA DHATU Student Teacher Program. I was invited to bring the dance to Hastings city, so I offered a one day workshop on dance at a local school. The workshop's aim was to immerse in the blessings of long life and good health, stories, meditation, movement and group sharing through the Dance of Tara. During this time I have been wonderfully supported by the founder of the Tara dance, Prema Dasara, and local Tara's. I can only give praise and thanks to the many dedicated women who since 1986 have made this beautiful Tara dance practice possible for the benefit of all. 42
