About Arya Tara......

Arya Tara is the name of this sacred, conscious space that I call home, at the foothills of the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina.

When I bought this land and decided to build, she spoke to me very clearly. She showed me what the current energetic set up of the land was, how it engaged with the surrounding area, and how what I built could help heal the existing energetic blockages in the local terrain.

Specifically, she showed me that if I chose this particular lot (I had a choice of 10), then I would build on what looked like a broken vortex. My mission was to build a structure that connected deep into the land via the depth of this vortex (accessing emptiness), then move the energy upward with internal and external design, connecting the deep earth with the sky. This creates a model for and encourages flow in the land and house which also sets a standard for a flow state of being in the people who engage with her.

The work done in the home would restore that broken vortex, and allow it to blossom further energetically, energizing the surrounding land and creating the home as a transformational power center for those who lived or visited it. She told me that my daily living and work would naturally contribute to the creation of restoration of the vortex, and that I was to also hold groups here, which would increase the power of the vortex after it's return to coherence.

I could see how this process would take time, and that I should allow the progression patiently, waiting for the home to build and become a mature entity, gaining facets of beauty over time.

I have watched her over these many years become this beautiful being, contributing silently yet profoundly to those who enter her sacred space. I am blessed to be the caretaker of her, and also realize that more and more she is becoming an individualized entity of her own.

I received her name in meditation as Arya Tara. The listening and receiving of her name di lei is a significance for me that it is her time di lei to offer herself more publicly. Now she can be named as a sacred space holder and referred to in events created and held in this space.

I honor her as providing shelter, fanning the flames of creativity within her walls, continually nurturing her occupants toward awakening, inviting beneficial energies and protecting from destructive energies.

I was not surprised when her name was revealed, as mother goddess. I will share more writings on this page about the Buddhist divine feminine goddesses Tara and how this home exemplifies that energy.
