Somatic Gateways - Retreat in Sardinia with Tara
The greatest gift we can offer ourselves this lifetime is to feel into the gateways of our body-mind. It is in this landscape we get to experience the music of the infinite universe as expressed through our ephemeral Self.
In this week in Sardina, surrounded by verdant nature, on a historic island,, with deep turquoise sea in the middle of the Mediterranean, we will use somatics and free movement supported by asana, meditation, and journaling to bridge the worlds of meditation and embodiment.
Enjoy walks in nature, trips to the nearby beaches, and practices designed to lead us to the textures and freedom of the infinite in our unique, finite individual body-mind.
Join Tara for 7 days of practices in the beauty of Sardinia and Soul Valley Retreat Center!
Sardinia is one of the few designated “Blue Zones” a place where nature and the humans living in it conspire to help people live better lives. Blue zones seem to facilitate lifestyles that bring about community, health, purpose, and integration in nature in it’s nature. It’s a pleasure to return to Sardinia and to be able to welcome you here!
