To love yourself as the Beloved is the greatest gift you can give the world. This retreat is an invitation to deeply relax into the acceptance of all that you are aligned with All that Is. Held within the womb of Mama Gaia we playfully dis-engage emotional long standing (past life included) beliefs, thoughts and behaviors that maintain separation from living as the Divine Child. We will acquire tools to ride the wave of planetary transformation so that each of us begins to live our unique mastery. We will open our hearts to Christ consciousness and step into the Flow of Natural Affluence. With laughter, grace and ease we will weave a Beloved community through alchemy, direct transmissions unique to those present, asana, silence, sound, group sacred dance, shamanic ceremony, and interactive dialog.
“I loved the workshop!! It was a great experience for me to do such things in a group! It was really really great and I liked the intuitive and spontaneous way you organized it!” Frederica, Germany |
Maha Gaia Yoga: The Rising Feminine and Awakening Masculine
Sept 25, Saturday, 10am-2pm Fee: $50
Indigenous cultures worldwide concur that the divine Feminine is rising up in full force to guide us on a return trip towards living in Unity Consciousness. The past 5,000 years humanity has been operating from a scarcity, closed heart consciousness repressing the Feminine qualities of feelings, intuition and creativity and distorting the Masculine qualities of strength, structure and discernment.
Relationships between men and women are on the cutting edge of creating a New Earth social paradigm sourced in Love. In this introductory workshop we will begin to unravel lifetimes of gender distortions, no matter what our culture of origin. We will re-member the Feminine and Masculine within. Women will reclaim the power of their creative sacred temple and men will root into their Shakti fire to bring awareness into their hearts. We will bring compassion and awareness into our sexual energy and come to know it as a primal creative force. Come add your Light to this co-creative adventure into this new field of Awareness.
As writers we are gifted with an opportunity to walk into the unexplored regions of our self. Choosing to share our idea, vision, story or experience invites us to show up at the page with the playful anticipation of a child. This can feel frightening to our adult self who has built protective layers around our heart. Discover how to embrace emotional resistance as the friend who has come to free you into your authentic voice. Experience practical heart centered techniques that guide you into dynamic partnership with your creative core. Call upon your intuition to feel what words will shape your idea into a form that has the power to alter perceptions, inspire and engage the reader into their own adventure of life.
Bring your poems, short stories, essays, articles, novels, scripts and promotional copy for this one day writing adventure. If your are without words to bring…no fear…we will write. We will also create a collective New Earth story. Dress for movement.

Living As IAM Private Sessions - 90 minutes
(Number of private sessions may be required according to the needs of the participants; fees will be decided upon discussion with Tara)
Tara communes with you as an open channel in service towards discovering the roots of what is obstructing you from fully experiencing a state of peace and Joy. Tara awakens awareness and integrates the fractured parts of you through the power of Presence which spontaneously arises through words, in spaces of silence, through the power of conscious intent and a variety of healing techniques that arise unique to the individual. As a shamanic adept and conscious channel she is able to work the entire spectrum of the unseen world and integrate the gifts of a past life experience. These sessions consciously connect you with your true soul’s purpose through direct communication with your heart’s desires. You will become anchored in your IAM Presence, your true power source. You will become possessed with your unique mastery and dissolve perceptions of disconnection, seeking and suffering. You will gain practical life tools that support you to consciously and compassionately step into the time of now, the place of here to be and do Joy.
Tara intimately understands the psychology of the soul. Her techniques create long lasting results because they are direct, simple and universal. If you are experiencing an addiction, long standing emotional or physical pain, journeying through the pieces of a past trauma, in a life transition, or simply desire to live your true purpose with grace and ease in the world consider a Living as IAM session.
“Tara turned up in a phase of my life when I was in great need of professional help, in the middle of a healing crisis, not quite knowing how to move forward. She worked with me with great ease and integrity, and always with the deepest respect for where I was at in the present moment. My meeting with her, though limited to only a few sessions for practical reasons, was very important for me. It made it possible for meto be able to do something meaningful with my recent experiences and integrate them into my life. Afterwards, I find myself more able to address life and myself with more faith and trust and, most of all, compassion. Furthermore, she exudes both professionalism and warmth in a way that I find very helpful and quite rare.”
