Yoga and Tantra Retreat - Soulful Living
“The paradox with God is that he cannot be found by seeking, though only those who seek can find Him.”
Set in the breath-taking nature of the Peak District, this week-long retreat is a heartful invitation for those who feel the Call — to awaken the Soul and discover what it truly means to live from it. Through authentic, simple, yet deeply effective spiritual methods, connected with the five sheaths/koshas - physical, subtle breath, mind and emotions, supramental-superior intuition and the sheath of beatitude - we will explore how every dimension of our being can become a living instrument of soulful living. Each day will unfold gently upon the last, weaving together practice, presence, nature, play, joy and authentic connection — because nothing in daily life is to be excluded from the sacred. Every morning, we will deepen our yoga practice and open ourselves to the Godly Attributes. In the afternoons we will delve deeper inward — into the radiance of the body, the rich landscape of the consciousness, the depth of our emotions, and the luminous, ever-surprising vividness of the soul. Evenings will offer something equally precious: reflection, connection, laughter, joy and the simple warmth of meaningful togetherness — for soulful living is not only found in practice, but in every shared moment met with awareness. Together, we will learn to hear the soul's quiet guidance moving through the rhythms of each day. And as the week will draw to a close, we will leave not only refreshed, but also filled with love — and with something to carry home: a clearer, lived sense of how to bring genuine spirituality into the fullness of everyday life, so that stillness and presence become not a retreat luxury, but a way of being.
Why join the Spiritual Summer Retreat?
The Spiritual Summer Retreat is a wonderful opportunity for us to be together, to learn and evolve together in a warm, friendly, nature filled ambience. Outside the big cities, in the nourishing green of the Peak District, we can leave behind the stressors of daily life and experience a whole week of spiritual nourishment and soul awakening. We have been holding our annual Spiritual Summer Retreat in the UK since 2005, and each year it offers many revelations to those who participate. Our teachers all have 10-20 years of experience as practitioners and teachers in Yoga and Tantra, and will guide you with expertise throughout the retreat.

What is the Summer Retreat at Tara like?
It is not your typical yoga retreat. It’s not focused on exploring Yoga solely through practice on the mat. Nor is it like our Polarity Retreat, which explores the dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energies through the lens of pure Eros. Instead, the Summer Retreat offers a rich programme of daily yoga and meditation, complemented by inspiring talks and engaging, interactive workshops – all centred around the unique theme chosen for the year. There is also time to unwind and recharge in nature, to dance and celebrate together, and to honour the journey with a closing ceremony that helps to crystallise and deepen insights from the retreat. Each retreat is one of a kind, shaped by its theme and the presence of everyone who takes part. Yet something always remains the same – a renewed sense of aspiration, a deeper thirst for truth, and a heartfelt connection with something greater than ourselves. Come and experience it for yourself and see what you will discover!
