What if your next deep rest came from the vibration of bees?
Feel the buzz of ancient medicine beneath your body.
What if your next deep rest and nature intimacy came from the medicine of bees?
Feel the buzz of ancient medicine beneath your body. Smell the healing aromas of each hive.
Step inside the hum of nature’s original sound bath—where bees vibrate beneath your body, and in your heart, as Earth awakens your deepest sense of calm. Nestled on sacred land in Delta, Colorado, Tara will guide you to slow down with breath and Earth to melt into the magic of bees - hive to soil. Through bee bed sessions, and private sessions with Tara of breathwork, sacred earthing, ceremony and ancient bee culture talk as you return home to a part of yourself that never left.

For Who?
Any adult feeling the call to unplug, immerse in nature, in need of sacred pause, seeking nervous system support or looking for something deeper than rest. No experience is required, however an openness to learning tantric breath (root 2 heart), immerse with bee medicine, touching the soil and an open heart and mind to receive the gifts of nature. This retreat is for those ready to just bee - not constantly doing. The bee hut is a cell phone free zone. We ask our guests to be sober and leave any alcohol and drugs at home. Bees pick up on mind altered states anyway and perceive this as a threat.

Expect stillness. Expect sound. Expect the unexpected moments of healing that rise when you let the bees do their work.

The Space?
the retreat takes place on 8 stunning private acres at the Earth Tantra Outdoor Center and Raven Wild Farm Stay (and BeeZen Huts) in Delta, Colorado. We honor this land as the ancestral territory of the Native American Utes, holding deep respect for history and spirit.
Surrounded by breathtaking views of the Grand Mesa to the north and the distant Elk Mountains to the east, this high-desert sanctuary sits at an elevation of 5,200 feet. The property offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty:
-
Towering cottonwoods, elms, and vibrant trees like crabapple and maple
-
Open fields, a small pond, loving lavender and peaceful rabbit brush

Hidden micro-spaces for privacy and reflection

The land is also home to 5+ bee hives (peacefully tucked away), dozens of bird species, local plants, 20 chickens, and two outdoor cats, along with two friendly dogs. Wildlife like foxes and raccoons may wander nearby, but larger predators, such as bears and mountain lions, are not present. This sacred space is imbued with a gentle, welcoming vibration—many feel the presence of kindness, healing, and the protective energy of the land’s spirit, lovingly referred to as Grandfather’s Protection. It calls to support all who seek healing, growth, and spiritual transformation.

What Students Are Saying about Bee Zen Huts & Earth Tantra

"Sitting with the bees allowed me to tune into the subtle senses of the very present moment. I arrived disconnected and little with little joy, but left refreshed and centered. The bee hut smelled like honey and baking rolls. My compassion for myself (and the bees) grew exponentially". 2024 student
"Everything exceeded my expectations. I liked the space was inclusive and non-judgemental. This
allowed me to explore my own limits without judgement" 2023 student
"My biggest takeaways from learning with Earth Tantra is understanding more that movement is for the body and stillness is for the mind, while combining with the arts of #stopconnectlistentrust. It’s okay to to take a brief moment throughout the day to drop to your center, connect to your root and just be. It's important to connect with ultimate mother, Gaia, as she is always there for us. Thank you from the bottom of my root to heart". 2022 Student
“I discovered grounding into my root rather than my heart center allows me to stay in my feminine.
The root chakra is SO POWERFUL!” 2018 Student
