“At the heart of NeoTa**ra there is a promise as old as the Vedas and as new as the latest neuroscience — our bodies are designed to be vessels of the sacred. Reachable through breath, touch, and the living warmth of genuine human contact.”

We live & love this stuff!

This is what my dream coming into reality looks like!

A 4 day, 3 night odyssey into creative flow using ta***ic practices to cultivate aliveness in our bodies and spirit.
We are bringing in live music, having a day with New Orleans own James Michalopoulos to visit his studio and gallery and walk about town, creating a huge immersive experience dinner Saturday night and so much more.

Our home, our city, is a gift we can’t wait to give you.

Bring on the sunshine!
Bring on the creative spirit!

I’m so ready to unwrap & dive in.
See you poolside.

Yes, things are changing around here at Temple in the Trees in Virginia.
We are continuing to host events, circles, classes and some incredible retreats… but not for much longer.
We are coming to a close and enjoying a much desired and planned shift into living the art of ta**ra and no longer commodifying it.

It’s a palpable yet subtle shift. It’s what draws us to living fulltime in New Orleans no later than next spring .

As such, we are pouring our love for what we do into a few remaining events this spring in Virginia. Summer will guide us when it’s closer, but currently our desire is to be held in community and enjoy the friendships and friends that are family to us that have been created here over the past decade, and bring our teaching to a close.

Here’s what’s happening at the Temple in the next months. Please join us!

We are cancelling our Clothing Swap for tomorrow Thursday 1/28 at Temple in the Trees.
Due to a majority of folks who registered unable to attend due to the current weather conditions we are cancelling this event and rescheduling in the spring.

My priority is making sure our time together feels welcoming and comfortable, and these conditions make that difficult.
I appreciate your understanding and your continued support. I look forward to hosting you soon under better circumstances and sharing a
more relaxed evening together at the temple soon.
