The open house will include a guided tour of the Retreat Center and Tara Temple, a brief introduction to meditation with time for questions and a vegetarian buffet lunch.

The open house is free and open to the public. The meditation class is free but requires online registration. A suggested donation of $5-$20 to the teacher is optional.

Tara Mandala Center is a 25-minute drive just outside of Pagosa Springs.
