Spiritual Living Internship
The
Internship Program at Tara is designed to provide an opportunity for participants
to experience cooperative work and service through conscious love
in action: Karma Yoga. This is not a retreat program, but a position at the Center to be of service to the community and guests that utilize Tara on a regular basis, while being immersed in the spiritual lifestyle and practices of mindful living, healing and purification. Interns should expect to be challenged in many ways, both physically and spiritually, and to use each day to reach deeper levels of awareness through practice and karma yoga.
This
is a rare opportunity to live and practice in a spiritual environment
while delving deeply into the practices of meditation, breath,
awareness, and mindfulness.
Tara
is a nurturing and peaceful location for spiritually dedicated individuals to experience
living and working together. Working four hours per day allows
for karma yoga, while leaving ample time in the morning and evening
to be in practice.
Applications are accepted for the internship year round. This is a two month program that can be extended
for those who wish to be dedicated to longer
term practice and work. During an extended stay, deeper teachings
and experiences are available to those who wish greater understanding
and experience of higher consciousness and living practices of Tara. This is also the method through which Tara trains future staff.
