Are you desiring a calling to reconnect with your primal energy & rewild?

Ready to dive deeper into your transformational journey through shadow work?

Join Tara, and a small safe intimate group, as we gather for Earth Tantra Retreat Level 2!  Play with the RAW energy within and with others in a tribal setting, while facing our shadows. This retreat guides us to dive deep into our inner healing path.  We will also expand upon practices learned in ETR 1 by adding on the throat and 3rd eye Chakras to release a deeper sense of expression around truth and primal instincts.
Highlights include - primal creations, inner child journeying, clothing optional mud bath, spirit animal, invitational group massage, line of truth & tribal expression/ dance

For Who? For anyone who has completed Earth Tantra Level 1 Retreat with Earth Tantra.  This retreat is intended for individuals, but couples who've attended ETR1can attend with the same sleeping arrangements as ETR1.

 

What? Revisit grounded centered energy through a 15-17 hr silent mediation practice so we can center before raising our vibration through playing with our primal energy for self expression in sacred tribe.  Give yourself permission to RE-WILD.  Tap into your PRIMAL animal.  Express your TRUTH.  ETR 2 also introduces Tantric shadow work to dive deeper into self healing.  This sometimes raises triggers deep within us. Before signing up, consider the purpose is NOT to ReGround/ReCenter - only a portion of the retreat is focused on this.  The shadow work in this retreat is not intended to be super intense, BUT can be for some.   If you are looking for a deeper ReGrounding Practice or, are experiencing depression, consider taking ETR1 again, as each ETR1s are a different experience.  It's common for students to attend ETR1 more than once.

Why?  Sometimes in life we are called to dive deeper in self awareness, face our edges and darkness to move through the mud blocking our energy.  Grow your personal energy and Tantric practices after ETR1 to explore your primal side to let your wild animal reveal itself in truth AND trust.  Let's also play, get silly and shed some more layers together and raise each other up in support.   *This retreat is not a good match if you have recently experienced deep depression or are attached to your experience with ETR1 - there are some practices that dive deeper into shadow work, authentic communication and energy witness/exchange.  

When?  Thursday, July13th  Arrive between Noon & 1:00pm.  No later or no earlier please.   We will be preparing for your arrival right until Noon.  We will end approx 10:30 on Sunday

The Space?   We will gather on the 8 beautiful private acres at Earth Tantra Outdoor Center & Raven Wild farm stay in Delta, Colorado.  We recognize and honor this space as land of the Native American Utes.  There are stunning views of the Grand Mesa to the north and Elk Mountains to the east (distance).  The property is 5,200ft in elevation - high desert.  The land shares a beautiful blend of grand cottonwood, elm and other trees (crabapple, maple, etc) with an open field, small pond, rabbit brush and micro private spaces for privacy.  The community space has multiple spots with hammocks, an outdoor kitchen, eating patio and lounge area, outdoor circle (partly shaded), ceremonial tipi, peace pole and more.  We share the land with dozens of variety of birds, native and local plants, chickens and 2 dogs.  Students are welcome to take a hike along our 1/4 mile hiking trail to the bottom of the property.  We do not have bears or mountain lions but other critters like fox & racoon.  The land calls to support others in their healing and spiritual journey.  Many people can feel the vibration and kindness of the land.

COMMON QUESTIONS
When should I arrive?  When are we finished?
Arrive between Noon & 1pm only.  Please not before or after.  Allow extra driving time for weekend traffic in the mountains.  We will finish around 10:30am and will have time to pack and leave after.  Some people pack before breakfast the last morning and leave a few minutes after we are finished.  Check out time is noon latest.

What is the space like?
The retreat space takes place on 8 private acres on Tara's small farm, soon to be lavender farm.  We have chickens, incredible views of the Grand Mesa, old cottonwood trees, open field and lots of nooks for private silent meditation.  The space also has covered and exposed eating/ lounging options as well as a beautiful 20 foot ceremonial tipi.

Camping vs Indoor Room?
If you truly want to embody mother earth, we suggest camping.  If you are camping, we provide rustic outdoor options.  A place for a tent, car camping or small campers.  Hook ups are not available, however you'll be able to charge a phone.   Keep in mind, campers do not have access to indoor bathrooms due to our sensitive septic.  Outdoor porta-potties, hand washing station and drinking water is provided outdoors.  Outdoor showering is not provided, however if you'd like to rinse off for just a minute with no soap, you may do so with the hose in the designated area.

How many people will attend?
Approximately 4 to 6 students + sometimes an assistant w/ Tara

Is this retreat clothed? 
Yes, however there is a clothing optional mud bath - stand in your truth of what that might be at that given moment

What if I'm a little uncomfortable? 
 Each practice and session is always presented with options to adapt to each person's comfort level.  Comfort & trust is a priority and we grow upon each practice step by step for expansion.
 
Can I leave the retreat space to explore in town?
 The intention is to stay at the retreat center.   The safe energy of group is broken when students come and go.  There is plenty of space to distance yourself or to walk and run on a dirt road and 8 acres.  If you'd like to explore town, we recommend to arrive early or stay after the retreat to site see. 

How is the weather?
Be prepared for 50's to 100's degrees this time of year, as we will be outside often. Prepare for rain. 
The site has a tipi, shaded areas, outdoor eating (some covered).
