Tara's an insanely talented teacher. The flows were restorative, challenging, and helped me drop into my body and made me feel strong. After a week of yoga I truly felt changed. On top of all of this, Tara is just one of those rare breeds of people who easily connects with others - I felt safe, comfortable, and like I had known her for years by the end of this trip. Needless to say, Tara is literally a dream woman to me - someone whose wisdom has transformed my life for the better. I highly recommend this retreat!" ~ Hannah L
Mexico ~ The Cosmic 'Moon Nest’
Many don't know the origins of Mexico's Aztec name, 'Moon of the naval' or 'Moon nest'. She is the holder of the divine feminine energy, a creative vortex of the womb, and a place to come home to ourselves. The inspiration for the name of this retreat, Cosmic Awakening, is symbolic of how you will feel embodying the wisdom of your blueprint (Astrology), alignment of your body (Yoga), and spiritual experience of alchemy (Ceremony).
This trifecta is the perfect container to drop into a state of equilibrium with the Self. I love sharing the two most significant aspects of Astrology. The knowledge of how heal your core wound, Chiron, with the path of your soul’s highest calling, found in your North Node. I lead two insightful evening workshops diving deep into Chiron and The North Node. This wisdom is the key to unlocking your fate, while uncovering the medicine to heal. An inner awakening to your true Self unfolds.
This retreat is designed to nurture and empower you in body, mind and spirit. My Vinyasa yoga classes bring a fluid watery element to unleash a creative & expansive openness for the body to hold more light.
We meet in sacred ceremony on the beach connecting the soul with the divine. I’ve led women circles for a decade, there is something profound when women come together. An initiation to rebirth the Soul, feeling seen and heard, while shedding layers of the old self behind.
This magical retreat takes place on the pristine beaches of El Cuyo where the ocean meets the sand. A pilgrimage to the Cosmic Mother. We will renew ourselves in the turquoise waters, as well as the breathtaking womb-like cenotes found only in this region of Mexico. Ek Balam, the Mayan ruins, a symbol of the ‘Black jaguar’ where we come to receive her gifts of power and strength. This temple is on holy land, where our cup overflows with the energy of the Divine Feminine calling us home to ourselves.
