Tara Brach, Ph.D is an internationally known meditation teacher and author of bestselling Radical Acceptance and True Refuge. Tara shares a weekly guided meditation and talk that blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices. The podcast addresses the value of mindfulness meditation and self-compassion in relieving emotional suffering, serving spiritual awakening and bringing healing to our world.

We aim to: 1. Promote the teachings and practices of Early Buddhism, leading to full Awakening. 2. Establish the first "Forest Monastery" in England where women can train towards full (bhikkhuni) ordination! Podcast episodes will feature Dhamma talks, guided meditations and sutta classes by the Venerable Canda and other monastics (Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Brahmali, Ayya Anandabodhi). Anukampa means the wise compassion that alleviates suffering and it's cause: the quality that motivated the Buddha to teach. Anukampa is committed to inclusivity by welcoming everyone, including LGBTQIA+ people and those of every ethnicity, race and background, both to our events and as guests
