This is Tal’s vision and intention for the Sacred Room in her own words:
Imagine a space beyond time, beyond duality, beyond the beyond, where we can connect with the source, with our true nature, the eternal flame, the timeless, the “Diamond in the Lotus” and the divine within each and every one of us. A sacred place where we remember and reconnect to our self as well as to others. A place where we are one, where we are part of divinity itself.
Imagine creating this space through a conscious intention, through sacred music, sacred art, poetry, meditation, theatre and silence…. A community built by like-minded people: visionaries, artists, believers, and people from any background or religion. People who are longing for a meeting place in the field beyond.
