The Bells

Every morning at 8am, 9am and in the evening at 6pm, the bell tower of Tara Sanctuary comes alive. Three bronze, inscripted bells, hand crafted in Germany ring out across the land. Their harmonious tones play an ever-changing rhythm that strikes a chord at the heart of all who hear them. They are one of the many symbolic elements that animate this sacred space and in many ways connect the land to the sea, the past to the present, the outer to the inner.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Mana before then you may like to take a moment to listen to the bells.

When you are ready to dive deeper into the sacred symbology and meaning behind this soul-guided building, we invite you go ahead and add to booklet to your cart.
