A particularly distinctive dimension of my healing work is my relationship with 5 expressions of the Divine Feminine: White Tara, Green Tara, Red Tara, Mary Magdalene and the Black Madonna.
In a one-to-one session, we enter into the living presence of one face of the Divine Feminine through invocation, channelling and healing. These sessions are gentle and powerful, allowing you to receive her gifts and blessings and deepen your embodied experience of the Sacred Feminine.
An introduction to White Tara with guided visualisations, meditation and a full Soundbath.
White Tara Healing Days are an opportunity to immerse yourself in the healing energies of White Tara. Dean Carter and Anna Howard combine their gifts and experience to create a day of healing alchemy that brings peace, relaxation and transformation.
Workshops and intensives exploring three powerful expressions of the Sacred Sexual Feminine. Individual days are offered devoted to Red Tara, Mary Magdalene or the Black Madonna. For those seeking a deeper encounter, the 3-day intensive workshop offers an immersive journey into the presence of each one. The weaving together of their teachings and qualities offers a path of awakening and embodiment, allowing us to reclaim that which is truly sacred about feminine sexuality
This work is often offered in collaboration with other teachers and practitioners in this field.
I offer one-to-one sessions in healing. These can be in person at my home in Dorset or online remotely. My work is intuitive and deeply embodied, informed by over 40 years of experience in the field of healing. My intention is to create a gentle, safe space in which patterns of tension, resistance and holding can begin to soften and release. This allows the natural wellbeing of body, mind and spirit to re-emerge.
Having initially trained with the National Federation of Spiritual Healers and in Reiki to the level of Master, my healing work has continued to evolve through many years of personal practice, study and experience.
I offer teaching sessions in Meditation, in person or online. Meditation is an ancient practice for calming the mind and allowing our natural state of stillness, clarity and awareness to arise. It can help us become more present, grounded and connected to our true self.
My own meditation practice is rooted in Tibetan Buddhism, within which I have trained extensively with highly respected teachers of the Kagyu lineage. It is from within this tradition that my teaching is offered.
Group sessions vary in cost
QUEST FOR THE ENLIGHTENED FEMININE: Faith, Tara and the Path of Compassion
Drawing on the teachings and practices of Green Tara and White Tara, two female Buddhas deeply revered within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Quest for the Enlightened Feminine explores the awakening of the feminine through compassion, wisdom and inner freedom.
Published by Findhorn Press in January 2025, it is widely available as a paperback and e-book.
“… this is a spiritual quest for our times, when the re-emergence of the feminine is what is needed to heal and transform our crisis-ridden world.”
- Dr Sara Trevelyan, psychotherapist and author
“Candid, brutally honest and inspiring, Quest for the Enlightened Feminine is a veritable adventure story in one of its most important forms: the search for oneself. I loved it.”
- Pete Lowry, poet and philosopher
“Anna created a personal programme of teaching and meditation which gave me a new way of experiencing the world. I had never done meditation before and it was a very positive experience”
- David H, PhD, Oxford
“Anna’s work is a true gift to anyone seeking spiritual awakening, balance and embodiment of the sacred.”
- Claudia Gonҫalves, co-founder of The Edinburgh Shamanic Centre and Planetary Healing Centre in Scotland and Recanto do Beja-flor Healing Centre in Brazil, author.
“My wife suggested I come to one of Anna’s teaching days; I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It was informative and relaxing - Tara may be a female Buddha, but I experienced her essence as beyond male and female”
- Phil B, Berkshire
“I work in conventional medicine as a GP and knew nothing about White Tara. Today’s teaching, guided visualisations and soundbath with Anna and Dean opened my mind to new approaches to health and healing and I am very grateful”
- Trisha, Somerset
