In this 7-day yoga retreat at Tara Nature Retreat, we will withdraw into nature and away from the noise of the world to develop the senses and wisdom to listen to our inner voices.
In this journey, Caroline Willebois and Timothy Patey, life partners and co-creators of Tara Nature Retreat, will guide you in a week of yoga practices, coaching, interactive discussions, and singing around evening fires to connect with what is alive in you.
We also enjoy the best of Italy - warm weather and nourishing food. Allowing the summer sunshine to ignite your inner fire!
This retreat is suitable for yogis of all levels, also for couples.
Caroline and Timothy will teach in English.

The HOSTS / Teachers
Travelling the world, Caroline discovered yoga at 19 and continued with a dedicated personal practice that gave her a sense of stability in all her movements. Recognising the powerful transformation that happens during a retreat, she has spent the past five years hosting her own yoga retreats and immersions in Italy and Bali. As a certified 500hr Elemental Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist, passionate foodie and holistic health coach she has found her soul work in creating healing retreats, offering one-on-one coaching sessions and writing. She has written two books: This is for You and Nature's Calling. With a new cookbook on the way!
Growing up in East Africa, Caroline was raised with a deep respect for Mother Nature and has deepened this connection through her travels, way of life and, now, the manifestation of Tara Nature Retreat. Her favourite colour is green, she loves mangoes and singing Disney songs.
Timothy’s journey to personal transformation began with a wander through India in 2003. This was the pivot point for years of training in the yogic, shamanic, and buddhist traditions. He has completed over 500hr Hatha Yoga and Yoga Nidra certified trainings, and is a passionate educator in both yoga and in the natural sciences at the university of his PhD.
Timothy integrates psychology, non violent communication, and buddhist philosophy into his guidance, coupled with his intuition and sense of personal truth. His guidance and writings aim for improved understanding of our inner experiences, our habitual interactions all around us, and with building the grit and volition necessary to bring about personal transformation within this lifetime.
Timothy loves ecstatic dance, chess, good food, philosophical conversations and his heart warms when guiding singing circles around a campfire.
