A Sacred Retreat Center for Healing, Ritual, and Transformation in the Heart of Yelapa, Mexico

Tarasana is a sacred retreat center in Mexico—recognized for its unique architecture and rooted in Indigenous land, it offers space for spiritual growth, connection, and healing.

Our Purpose

A living temple shaped like a womb, guided by the Earth, and born from a vision inside the temazcal—Tarasana exists to hold sacred space for healing, remembrance, and reconnection.

Here, nature is the teacher. Ceremony is the language. And transformation is not just welcomed—it’s inevitable.

Everyday Becomes Sacred

Tarasana is an inviting haven where nature guides us, ceremony and ritual root us, and human connection nourishes us. It is a space that opens the door to transformation, healing, and renewal—meeting you exactly where you are, and welcoming you into what is possible.

Nestled where waterfalls meet the sea, our womb-inspired architecture offers a place of stillness, remembrance, and return.

Our Mission

Love is All We Need Now

Solo Amor Necesitamos Ahora

(S.A.N.A.)

Tarasana is more than a retreat center—it’s a prayer in form. Created as a temple of compassion dedicated to Goddess Tara, our space was designed as a flower opening and a cave of protection. Here, we honor duality, celebrate the sacred feminine, and remember the ancestral ways.

We invite all beings—women, men, elders, children—to come home to themselves.
