Unleash Your Wildest Self: A Self-Love Yoga Retreat
in Cabrera, Dominican Republic
“The doors to the world of the wild self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”
- Clarissa Pinkola Estés
We are all born with a deep and wild connection to the soft animal of our bodies. This is not a wild in the sense of chaos, but a rooted and instinctual sense of connection…of knowing; an internal compass if you will. Nature (aka the wild) is where we came from and evolved, and this unbreakable bond is buried within our bones; within the soil of our bodies. The doorways to unapologetic self love are many and waiting for us.
Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and fierce self-love amidst the beauty of nature. This retreat is designed to awaken your inner wild, cultivate radical self-acceptance, and ignite your inner fire.
Our wild self is ever present, inherently there, waiting to be remembered and loved without condition.
You do not have to be good…you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
~Mary Oliver
Join us for a week of rekindling the sacred connection with self; romancing the soft animal within.
Journey to a tropical paradise within the wild and enchanted Dominican jungle. Surrounded by nature, rocked by Mama Ocean, warmed by radiant sun, and embraced by the infinite sky, we will be encompassed by the elements as they guide us back to our wild.
Reconnect with your wild:
Explore the beauty of the external landscapes of nature’s canvas, while navigating our internal landscapes.
Hike through and rest amongst breathtaking landscapes, reconnect with the earth's energy, and awaken your senses.
Move your body through dynamic and intuitive flows, entice your inner wild out of hiding; honor your strength and your ability to soften.
Quiet your mind and bones with stillness and meditation.
Explore self-love practices, embrace your authentic self, and shed societal expectations.
Bond with like-minded humans, share experiences, and build a powerful support system.
Nourish your body with the fresh food from the surrounding lands.
Enliven your soul with music and poetry, infused throughout the week.
As we partake in tropical adventures, we remain open to the most sacred of re-connection. Our journey will take us within, and you will be invited to dive deep into opportunities for self-reflection, self-love, healing, and re-connection with the wild of the heart. Stripping away the distractions of everyday life, we will get back to basics, cultivating our ever present and universal truth that lies within.
This is a call to all humans who are ready to break free, embrace their wildness, and cultivate unwavering self-love.
The door is right here.

About Tara Eschenroeder
With Tara you get more than a teacher on the yoga mat; you gain guidance for your daily life. With her guidance, no two classes or workshops are ever the same. Participants are not told what to do, they are empowered to listen to their own bodies and hearts.
And while there are general cues throughout of “warrior” and “downward dog” (almost always accompanied by their Sanskrit name), one is also just as likely to hear cues of “listen to the animal within,” “move through honey, “ride the wave of your breath,” or, simply, just an encouragement to “dance.”
Tara is ERYT200, ERYT500, RCYT, YACEP, self-published author, and a Certified Coach and Mentor.

Why did you start running wellness retreats?
Retreats combine all the things that I truly love together into one. I love setting up events and planning logistics! I personally practice yoga multiple times a week and try to live a healthy lifestyle. I love adventures and Cabrera has so much natural beauty to explore. I adore people and love bringing together like minded folks from all over the world! And most importantly I feel fortunate to be able to help people disconnect from their daily stressors, slow down, relax and recharge their body, mind and spirit to elevate their everyday life. I have witnessed (and had myself!) major transformations from these incredible retreat events, and I feel so blessed to be apart of the ripple effect that is enhancing and changing so many lives.
How did you end up in Cabrera, DR?
My husband's family is Dominican & we loved vacationing here every year. Then one day we decided we didn't want to wait to retire to live a life that excited us in a place that we loved. We found Cabrera and it was the perfect place because it was still a small, unknown town but with a ton of potential. We saw ways that we could use our passions and talents to support the little town and design a life we loved, so we started the first company that promoted vacations, excursions and events in Cabrera.
Over the last 10 years it has blossomed into a full service agency with 7 departments and I can never imagine living or doing anything else. I feel blessed to have found my unique purpose in this life by helping create memories of a lifetime for others in this magical paradise.
What exactly do you do?
While it may seem like I lay on the beach all day, the complete opposite is true! Even though I will always create time for some R&R in the sunshine & adventures for my soul because I do believe life is all about balance and I am a self proclaimed work-a-holic!
Basically I am a one stop shop for EVERYTHING that has to do with vacationing or investing in Cabrera, DR. I am a travel agent, logistical coordinator, transportation expert, excursion guide, villa experience host, glam team owner, hair and makeup artist, wedding planner, real estate agent, property manager, accountant, social media manager and professional fire putter-outter 😆
