Retreat Leader: Tara Judelle

More than ever before, we feel the desire to create experiences that nourish our physical/mental well-being to provide touchstones for the ground of our truth. Nature is calling us here – in both the inner and outer environment. This is why I have chosen to offer this special retreat into Sayulita, Mexico. We will spend 8 days and 7 nights nestled above the Pacific Ocean on 12 private acres of a tropical jungle with a private and pristine beach, nurturing ourselves back to the mother ocean. Haramara Retreat is a magical, idyllic place created and designed to provide a natural, supportive environment for relaxing, renewing and restoring well-being, using the elements of nature to usher us into the ground of being. We will nourish our inner landscape through meditation, asana, free movement, lecture, and mantra, to help harmonize us with the essential cues whispered from the jungle to the liquid ocean.

Retreat Leader: Kim Rosen and Jami Sieber

For over 30 years now, Kim has gathered circles of kindred hearts in some of the most beautiful and fierce landscapes on the planet. In this retreat she is joined by musical alchemist, Jami Sieber. Magic is created by Jami’s cello in oceanic resonance with the poems, songs and silence emerging from the circle and the chant of wind, rock, and the cries of the dove.

Poems, prayers, and song speak the mystery, the silence, the ineffable joys and sorrows of the inner life. Immersion in these words, sounds and silence causes shifts in your biochemistry, feelings, thoughts and consciousness that align you with your deepest self.

Retreat Leaders: Jennifer Sinor and Chantel Gerfen

Sometimes we must go away to come home. When our lives become busy, our days seemingly too short, our patience limited and our vision diminished, often the only way to restore our center is by stepping away. Ironically, it is in leaving that we can return to our deepest selves, the quiet that is always and already there, the home of our unbroken heart, which is both our birthright and our good fortune. There is no better place to come home than Haramara where the green of the trees and the blue of the sky remind us of the beauty both within and without. During this week, Chantel Gerfen and Jennifer Sinor will lead you back home, home to your body, home to your heart, home to your innermost self. That home, that place of safety and joy, already exists within each of us, but all too often we forget. Emails arrive, kids clamor, the proposal is due today. It is hard to feel at home when the world around constantly calls for our attention. And that is why me must leave to return. In addition to three organic meals a day, a beautiful swimming pool, and free time to sit on the beach or walk to the small town of Sayulita, each day will offer a vinyasa practice in the morning and a restorative practice at night. Daily writing will allow individuals to fully inhabit the openings created in the physical body through asana practice, and guided meditations will help reveal what we already know to be true. The final day of the retreat will be held in silence so that our deepest work can be done. You will leave on Saturday restored to your body and your heart and more than ready to return home again, in touch, now, with the joy-filled home within. We invite all seekers, all levels of practice, all those who are tired of living only in their heads to join us in Haramara and come home.

Retreat Leader: Erin Carney and Liz Andolong

Erin and Liz invite you to a week on the coastal Riviera Nayarit, near the fishing village and surfing town of Sayulita. Nestled above the Pacific Ocean on 12 private acres of tropical jungle with a private and pristine beach, Haramara (“Mother Sea”) is an exclusive seaside yoga eco-resort offering sensual tropical harmony, magnificent 360-degree yoga pavilion views, a cliffside infinity pool, and a world class spa. It has been described as the place “where Robinson Crusoe meets Architectural Digest.” This setting will serve as the backdrop where we will rediscover the tools to awaken our inner healer and empower ourselves to live the fullest lives we are capable of. As women, we know how easy it is to take a back seat in our own lives, oftentimes without fully realizing it until we experience physical, emotional and/or spiritual burnout. Liz and Erin have both experienced the depths of burnout and have walked through the deep questions of “who am I as a woman” and “what do I have to offer this world?” They have spent years doing, as Paulo Coelho calls, the good work: committed to not turning away from the discomfort and growing pains and malaise and instead, excavating and diving into the struggle, gaining powerful tools along the way to help them reclaim a sense of self and purpose in this fast-moving world.
