• Freedom from Inner and Outer Tyranny: The Path of Spiritual Warriors

  Many agree that this is the most unpredictable and dangerous time we’ve ever lived through. How do we hold what is unfolding, and respond with courage and clarity?  In this talk we reflect on the ways we become spiritual warriors dedicated to freeing ourselves from the inner domination of fear (hatred, delusion) and freeing our world from external forms of tyranny. In this talk, Tara explores: The roots of tyranny and fear—how unprocessed fear fuels aggression, domination, and the rise of authoritarianism. The power of belonging—why remembering our interconnectedness can empower resistance against oppression. Inner freedom as a path to outer change—how mindfulness and heart-centered practices dismantle fear and awaken courage. The role of the spiritual warrior—cultivating presence, compassion, and truth to stand against inner and outer oppression. Taking action from love, not fear—how small, heartfelt acts contribute to collective healing and justice.
