Meet the 77-Year-Old Hippie Woman Living in a Cave in the Blue Mountains | No Direction Home

In this episode of our "No Direction Home" series, we introduce you to Tara, a sprightly and wise 77-year-old yogi from the flower child generation who has chosen a life off the grid, living in an artificial cave nestled in the Blue Mountains. Tara's journey began in the 1970s when she travelled across Nepal, Malaysia, Bali, and India, immersing herself in the vibrant cultures and spiritual practices such as buddhism.

Join us as Tara shares her extraordinary life story, from her time in Indian ashrams and Utopian communities like Auroville to her current cave dwelling in the Blue Mountains.

This interview provides an intimate and candid look into Tara's adventurous past and the peace she has found in her unconventional home. Discover how her journey has shaped her views on life, spirituality, and love.
