Sacrid Activism
As a co-organiser, I joined the Tara Retreats team to share our vision for the Sacred Activism Gathering—a transformative 7-day retreat designed to intertwine the realms of spirituality and activism. Scheduled for May 12–18, 2024, at The Grove in Montenegro, this gathering offers a sanctuary for activists, educators, artists, and community organisers seeking to rejuvenate and realign their inner and outer worlds.
Our Purpose
In an era marked by ecological crises, systemic injustices, and widespread burnout, we recognise the necessity of grounding our activism in compassion, embodiment, and collective wisdom. This retreat is more than a pause; it's a space to reconnect with our core values, nature, and each other, fostering resilience and clarity for meaningful action.
What to Expect
Community and Solidarity: Forge deep connections with fellow change-makers, sharing experiences and building a supportive network.
Collective Wisdom Exchange: Engage in dialogues and workshops that explore sustainable and regenerative approaches to activism.
Nature Connection & Creative Expression: Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Montenegro and explore creative practices as tools for grounding and resilience.
Grounding and Somatic Practices: Participate in daily sessions of breathwork, meditation, and movement to reconnect with your body and spirit, releasing tension and fostering emotional healing.
Our Approach
We believe in the power of collective effort and shared responsibility. To keep the retreat accessible, participants are invited to contribute through communal tasks, such as meal preparation, fostering a sense of community care. For those unable to participate in these tasks, an additional fee ensures equitable contribution.
