Join Yoga Teacher & Certified Wellness Coach
Tara Maria Ford on October 7-9, 2023 for a
Yoga and Meditative Writing Retreat.
Space is Limited to 7 Participants, Reserve Now!
We often attach ourselves to the stories and beliefs the mind weaves without realizing it. Meditation and yoga give us the opportunity to slow down and examine these stories to open up to our truth. As we open up to our truth, the heart opens, and we align with what’s most important to us. What a gift!
Feeling into the breath, we’ll practice setting the automatic story aside to open up creative pathways & write from your authentic core. We’ll bridge the mind & body with slow, gentle yoga & meditation, tapping into your deeper experience.

ABOUT TARA: Tara has been writing as a meditation for the past 27 years. This practice began for her when she fell into a depression at 23 years old. She started out journaling thoughts, ideas, and feelings but realized she was just repeating herself. So she immersed herself in meditation before and during writing. The more she honed her practice, the more she was able to truly quiet the narrating mind and sink deep into her body and unconscious. It helped her learn so much about herself and what was most important to her so she could align with her core values in everything she does. In addition, Tara completed a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Photography in 2011, holds over 500 hours of Yoga Teacher Training, and is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
