Locations vary in Colorado. For this retreat, we will gather at RAVEN WILD FARM in Delta, CO. This is Tara's personal home and summer retreat center. From out of town? Stay in Delta at a local airbnb - Delta. Local hotels are not recommended, as they don't support a romantic weekend.

 

Interested in staying at Raven Wild Farm?  There is 1 queen room in our home for an additional $379 for both Friday and Saturday night. Connect with Tara now to see if this option is right for you & your partner, as there are some particular stay requirements since the event will be held in our home.

THE SPACE

The sacred space, in which we will gather, is Tara's simple cozy farm house of Raven Wild Farm. The farm is on 8 private acres with a 1/3 mile hiking trail, tipi, chickens and cottonwood trees. Although most of our group retreats take place in summer, we hold small workshops and retreats during the winter. We are a healing center complete with 1 of only 5 bee therapy huts in the country, BeeZen Huts. Although the bee hut is closed in the winter as the bees hibernate, you might be interested in taking peek inside. Take a peek at our space below.

COMMON QUESTIONS

How many people will attend? 

Space limited to ONLY 4 couples due to the small space in Tara's home. Quality over quantity is very important to us in creating a safe space to meet needs of a variety of people.  

​

Can locals attend?

Yes, locals are encouraged to attend!  If you live more than a 30 minute drive, consider staying in Delta to avoid the stress of driving at night.

​

Are there places to eat nearby?

Delta doesn't have too many choice restaurants, however we will share a list of our favorites to meet all dietary needs in the group emails.

 

Is this retreat clothed?  

Yes, this retreat is fully clothed at all times.

​

Do you offer anything longer?  

Yes, private retreats OR  Feb 22-28th, 2025  Sensual Souls Advanced Retreat in Roatan.

​

What if I'm a little uncomfortable? 

Each practice and session is always presented with options to adapt to each person's comfort level.  Comfort is a priority and we grow upon each practice step by step to ensure a gentle introduction for deepening your connection with your partner.

​

What is included?   

• One optional 30-min optional pre-retreat check in phone session per couple - schedule here

• Minimum of 2 pre-retreat emails with optional tips videos, what to bring, etc

• Approx 9+ hours of Art Of Loving sessions

• One 20-min private couple's check in session during retreat

• One 30-min post retreat check in session - good for up to 1 year after retreat

• Light snacks, filtered water/tea, local sourced coffee,

• Ceremonial supplies, 1 meditation cushion per person, blanket, etc

• Access to Raven Wild farm outdoors​

​

What can I bring?  

Comfortable warm and cold weather clothing, white ceremonial clothing, water bottle, AND one meaningful item (stone, photo, quote/poem, etc) to share on the alter - you will receive the item back.  If you are driving from home, we highly suggest bringing a personal blanket, yoga mat, extra pillow or cushion to stay warm and cozy with your beloved. Anything else to help you feel comfortable.  A more detailed list will be e-mailed a couple of weeks before the event.

 

Where are the closest airports?  

Grand Junction airport is approximately a 55 minute drive to Delta, and Montrose airport is only 25 minutes. If you are driving from Denver/front range, give yourself 2 extra hours due to winter driving conditions AND heavy ski traffic on a holiday weekend. We highly suggest you arrive the night before or stay at a halfway point if possible. Driving this time of year on a holiday weekend from Denver is a near 7hr drive, not 5 1/2.

​

*A suggested packing list for mountain weather and travel will be sent out closer to the retreat.
