the experience

Lavender Farm


​The Hood River Valley is known for its gorgeous lavender farms as it's the perfect climate. You don't need to go to France to experience the smell of lavender filling the air. We will spend an afternoon sipping wine in the garden at Stave & Stone Lavender farm.

Stave & Stone / Grateful Vinyard Wineries

Two of the best wineries in the country with views of Mt. Adams & Mt. Hood. These are first class wineries featuring delicious charcuterie boards, pizza, and wine. We will eat, drink, & be merry as we gaze at incredible views.

Tamanawas Falls Hike


​One of the most famous waterfalls in the Hood River area (and we have tons!). This gem is an hour hike along the river to a stunning view. You can also walk behind the waterfall if it calls to you. This is not to be missed!

Retreat Testimonials
"Tara's yoga and evolutionary astrology retreat was nothing short of transformative. There were four big aspects of this retreat that made it so incredibly special and life altering: Todos Santos and Tara's tour guide mode through the beautiful surroundings, the deep dive into my natal chart and all of the evolutionary astrology knowledge I gained, the morning yoga sessions, and the meaningful friendship that I walked away with. First, Todos Santos. It's a dreamy, spiritual, mystical place. The hotel was luxurious and felt like it was suspended over the ocean. Waking up every morning to the sound of waves and watching the sunset every evening was soul soothing. Tara navigated all of the logistics of travel, coordinating all meals in town (the food is wonderful!) and driving us around. She set a fantastic pace to our days where we got plenty of time to rest by the pool, walk on the beach, do our own thing in town, and focus on astrology content. I am a total newbie to astrology, and had only recently learned that your Sun sign is only one small fraction of the equation.

My mind was blown by the depth that Tara walked us through over the course of the week. Tara is a patient teacher, and connected the dots between our own charts, what we shared was going on in our lives, historical astrological events, and broader world perspective themes. I learned so much about myself from deepening my knowledge of astrology and my own natal chart, and learned how to spot the different characteristics and patterns within other people's charts as well. Tara teaches you how to tie everything together, since everything is connected! As someone new to the planets, aspects, and houses I was so impressed with Tara's ability to break down complexities and nuances in an easy to understand (and easy to remember) format. The hours-long astrology content sessions flew by, I was never bored or tired. I only hungered for more. Tara also helped keep us grounded as we accessed higher levels of consciousness, through daily morning yoga. She's an insanely talented teacher. The flows were restorative, challenging, and helped me drop into my body and made me feel strong. After a week of yoga I truly felt changed. On top of all of this, Tara is just one of those rare breeds of people who easily connects with others - I felt safe, comfortable, and like I had known her for years by the end of this trip.

She creates a nurturing environment to be vulnerable, ask questions, and share life stories. It's a much longer story, but I had a dream in May 2021 that wound up coming true during my trip, and involved Tara's fire ceremony at the end of the week. Needless to say, Tara is literally a dream woman to me - someone whose wisdom has transformed my life for the better. I highly recommend this retreat along with any offering that Tara has!"  ~ Hannah L.


"Tara is a beautiful soul and an incredible teacher. I loved Tara’s yoga teaching style as well as her approach to teaching astrology, which was an appropriate mix of structure and fluidity. I came on the retreat with my best friend who had a different level of knowledge of astrology from me. Despite that, with Tara’s expert guiding, we both came away with much deeper understanding of astrology! The fire ceremony at the end of the retreat was truly magical and an unforgettable experience. Tara’s knowledge of and comfort with Todos Santos was also on point. Every meal was excellent and every errand attended to promptly. I felt like I was in great hands the entire trip. It felt a fun girls trip which was also highly educational and spiritually enriching. I plan to do another retreat with Tara soon!!"  ~ Yevy A.
