This Women’s Retreat is an opportunity to gift yourself a week of self-care, to take a step away from the business and hurriedness of life, and dive into deep rest.
The week includes daily yoga and meditation, dance, silence, journaling, a hike to a river, a cacao ceremony and inspiring workshops. You will learn about nervous system regulation, ‘The Relaxed Woman’ archetype, and simple tools to bring the deep rest energy of this retreat home with you.
This retreat will be guided by Caroline Willebois at Tara Nature Retreat, in the beautiful countryside of Umbria, Italy.
Caroline has been hosting retreats for 8 years and is the co-founder of Tara Nature Retreat where she lives with her husband Timothy and daughter Tamara.
The Relaxed Women Retreat is suitable for all levels of yogini - beginner to advanced. The yoga is gentle Hatha and Restorative, and focused on regulating the nervous system.
Caroline will teach in English.

The Teacher
Travelling the world, Caroline discovered yoga at 19 and continued with a dedicated personal practice that gave her a sense of stability in all her movements. Recognising the powerful transformation that happens during a retreat, she has spent the past 8 years hosting her own yoga retreats and immersions in Italy and Bali.
As a certified 500hr Elemental Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist, passionate foodie and holistic health coach Caroline has found her soul work in creating healing retreats, offering one-on-one coaching sessions and writing. She has written three books: This is for You, Nature's Calling and the seasonal cookbook Nourish.
Growing up in East Africa, Caroline was raised with a deep respect for Mother Nature and has deepened this connection through her travels, way of life and, now, the manifestation of Tara Nature Retreat. Her favourite colour is green, she loves mangoes and singing Disney songs.
THE VENUE
Located about 60 km from Perugia and 10 km from the picturesque medieval town of Todi, Tara Nature Retreat is a private Italian estate completely surrounded by trees, birds, and long views over wild, Umbrian forests. The main guest house offers seven rooms and four bathrooms.
The yoga can be practiced either indoors in two Shalas or on a outdoor platform.
The surrounding garden is over 2 ha, and offers a playful versatility of outdoor activities (including a large 15-metre swimming pool). The property is surrounded by holm oak forest, which provides pleasant shade in the hot summer months and cozy sitting corners to retreat to.
The centre is far from any noise sources, yet less than 2 hours from Rome and easily accessible by car, train, or plane.
