3 days to align with the Equinox

I'm reserving my spot

Discover the foundations of the Health as a Whole.

Immerse yourself in a transformative retreat combining awareness, movement and knowledge of the living.

The spring equinox is a powerful time to let what wants to come to life in you emerge.
With the balance between light and dark, we feel the golden mean between yin and yang,
intention and listening, proaction and patience. 

This retreat will provide the perfect setting to bring all levels of your being back into balance.


A retreat open to all - whether you're curious, a yoga teacher,
therapist or simply looking for balance.

Health as a Whole Retreat 

With Carina Raisman - B.Sc, ND, Yogatherapist, E-RYT500, ANQ

I'm reserving my spot

  • I came to this retreat completely drained... and left nourished, grounded and full of momentum. The yoga sequences, the breathing, the meals, the nature - everything was designed to restore real - not just momentary - balance. Carina has that gentle yet firm presence, inviting you to slow down. Three days that brought me back to myself.

  • I wasn't sure what to expect, but I needed a reset. This retreat did me a world of good. I rediscovered the pleasure of breathing, moving without the feeling of performance and eating really well. I also understood how health is whole: body, behavior, rest and mind. I came away with concrete tools that I'm already incorporating into my daily life.

  • I'd signed up to "take a break", but I received so much more: a real reconnection with my vital energy. The workshops were rich and accessible, even for someone who doesn't have much time for herself. The group atmosphere, the kindness and the nature of the Tara Center simply melted away any accumulated stress. An experience I want to repeat every year.
