Our Philosophy

At Tara, we foster collective healing by connecting to nature, each other, and ourselves through movement and community. For lasting change, we believe in building supportive spaces where personal and collective transformations can flourish together.

Why the name'Tara'?

The name Tara Retreats was inspired by the Tara River in Montenegro, one of the last wild rivers in Europe, symbolizing untamed beauty—a river untouched by modernity, guiding us to rediscover our own wildness.

What is FLINTA?

At Tara, some of our retreats are woman/FlINTA spaces. FLINTA is an acronym that originates from west Berlin first called . It stands for Frauen, Lesben, Intersex, Nicht-binär, Trans, Agender (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender people). 

In the beginning of the 1970s the first so-called Frauenräume, spaces for women, emerged in West Germany and West Berlin. These spaces were created for women to be able to come together outside of patriarchal structures.[1] From these women’s spaces, many projects emerged, including lesbian groups, cafes for women, and 1976 the first women’s shelter in West Berlin.
