Ancestral Anatolia Pilgrimage
Awaken The Wisdom Of Your Ancestors

June 12-16th & June 18-22nd 2024
Greece & Turkey Pilgrimage Immersion
Do you feel an energetic connection to the Turkish & Greek regions?
Are you a female looking to activate your ancestral lineage?
Have you always felt drawn to this area and aren't sure why?
Join Tara, Founder & Guide of Earth Tantra, and Nilgun, Yoga Instructor & Breath Coach in a pilgrimage of the Anatolian. Heal & Awaken your heart & spirit lines to connect with the ancient ones while growing powerful divine feminine gifts. We will utilize family constellation perspective, breath work, ritual and ceremony, earthing, shadow healing, Gaia's elemental wisdom, dance, nurturing yoga, mediation & wisdom of Goddess Hecate to navigate our life's path.
Attend 1 or both locations - you choose! Limited Space.




For Who? Anyone who identifies as female, 18 - 88 years, and feels a connection to Turkey, Greece and the Anatolia/ Mediterranean regions. Students are also ready to step outside of her comfort zone and do the work of ancestral healing by diving deep into energy work and facing both the light & shadows within. This is not an adventure vacation. We ask any additional site seeing is taken before or after the retreat time.
What? Gather in a small intimate sisterhood circle to explore, deeper connect, awaken and heal our connections with the ancients. Our commitment to holding a safe sacred space to express is important in this journey. We ask that you approach this journey with an open heart knowing it can be both life changing, blissful and challenging as our primary intention is for ancestral healing and awakening.
