About the Retreat
This Women’s Retreat is a radical reclaiming of our right to rest and take a break. It is an opportunity to reset your nervous sytem and gift yourself a week of self-care. A wholehearted invitation to embrace the relaxed woman within you! To take a step away from the business and hurriedness of life, and dive into deep rest. We will explore all layers of rest - in body, emotion, mind and soul – and you will discover what rest means to you personally and how to bring specific practices into your daily life. The retreat week includes daily yoga & meditation, dance, silence, journaling, a hike to a river, a cacao ceremony and inspiring workshops. You will learn about nervous system regulation, ‘The Relaxed Woman’ archetype, and simple tools to bring the deep rest energy of this retreat home with you.
Our nourishing mornings begin with a gentle yoga practice, followed by some time for reflection with journal promts and a delicious breakfast. There is an inspiring workshop offered every late morning, and the afternoon is free for you to enjoy a siesta, walks in nature, reading in the hammock, swimming in the pool, connect with other participants or simply enjoy time by yourself. Evening sessions include Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga or dance, followed by a candlelight dinner. There will also be one Cacao Ceremony.
A week to rebalance your whole system, recharge your batteries and welcome deep rest. Destress your adrenal glands, relax your nervous system, calm your mind and nourish your body. A retreat to soften every part of your body, mind and spirit!
Your resting place for the week is a hill-top Italian villa, with all the comforts of home and the peace of nature. Nestled in a tranquil forest, surrounded by the warm hues of oak leaves, Tara Nature Retreat offers a peaceful sanctuary and the perfect place to retreat to. It is filled with stunning views, swinging hammocks and a large 15-metre swimming pool. The fresh air is invigorating, the food is nourishing, and the stillness creates a natural bubble that invites you to really slow down and connect with the present moment.

Guest Experiences
"I visited this magical place with my partner and it's exactly as expected, and more. A true nature retreat where the stillness and beauty of the natural environment can be felt and seen. If you're looking for a place to rediscover the connection with mother earth and yourself then this is a perfect choice. Caroline and Tim are some of the kindest, most knowledgeable hosts and I would highly recommend visiting them for a retreat. There's yoga, wholesome nutrition, mindfulness practice, joyful togetherness, peaceful sunrises. Exactly what we all need to recharge!"

About the Co-Founders
Caroline
Travelling the world, Caroline discovered yoga at 19 and continued with a dedicated personal practice that gave her a sense of stability in all her movement. Recognising the powerful transformation that happens during a retreat, she has spent the past five years hosting her own yoga retreats and immersions in Italy and Bali. As a certified 500hr Elemental Yoga Teacher & Yoga Therapist, passionate foodie and holistic health coach she has found her soul work in creating healing retreats, offering one-on-one coaching sessions and writing. She has written two books: This is for You and Nature's Calling. With a new cookbook just out! Growing up in East Africa, Caroline was raised with a deep respect for Mother Nature and has deepened this connection through her travels, way of life and, now, the manifestation of Tara Nature Retreat. Her favorite colour is green, she loves mangoes and singing Disney songs.
Timothy
Timothy's journey to personal transformation began with a wander through India in 2003. This was the pivot point for years of practice in the yogic & buddhist traditions. He has completed over 500hr Hatha Yoga and Yoga Nidra certified trainings, and is a passionate educator in both yoga and in the natural sciences. Timothy integrates psychology, non-violent communication, and buddhist philosophy into his guidance, coupled with his intuition and sense of personal truth. His wish for all is an improved understanding of our inner experiences and our habitual interactions day to day. Timothy supports guests with building the grit and volition necessary to bring about personal transformation within this lifetime. Timothy's favourite colour is blue, enjoys ecstatic dance, chess, good food, philosophical conversations and his heart warms when guiding singing circles around a campfire.
