OJAI, CALIFORNIA: JUNE 6–8, 2025
As the summer began in June 2025, we gathered in Ojai——a place known for its quiet magic and grounding energy. Held in this stillness, the retreat unfolded as a deeply immersive experience in returning to self.
-
Across the days, women stepped out of the noise of their everyday lives and into something slower, more intentional. A space where nothing needed to be performed, and everything could simply be felt.
But what defined this retreat wasn’t just what we did.
It was what was felt.A sense of being met, without needing to explain.
A remembering of self, without needing to search.
A community that formed quickly, but held deeply.For many, it marked a turning point——a moment of clarity, renewal, or quiet transformation that continued long after the retreat had ended.
This is the essence of A Guided Soul retreats.
Not an escape from life——but a return to it.
A FILM FROM OJAI
After attending the Ojai retreat, there was a softness people spoke about afterward——a kind of exhale they hadn’t realised they’d been holding.
Many shared that they left feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves than they had in years.
Not in a fleeting, post-retreat high, but in a steady, grounded way that followed them home——a renewed sense of self-trust, a deeper capacity to receive, and a quiet knowing that something within them had shifted.
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE THERE
{ as described by guests }
FOUNDER & FACILITATOR
“Ojai held us in a way that felt both gentle and deeply transformative. There was a softness that moved through the group——a remembering of self that didn’t need to be forced or found, only allowed.
Watching each woman open, connect, and return to herself in her own time was incredibly special.
It’s a space I’ll carry with me for a long time.”
- Tahra
POSTCARDS FROM OJAI, 2025
KIND WORDS ABOUT OJAI RETREAT
“The retreat was everything I had longed for in my heart and soul. From the rebirth moment to dancing to Come on Eileen, the beautiful rituals with the rocks, and the flow of spirit winks that wove through the entire weekend—it was all pure magic.
The location was beyond my imagination, and every activity was infused with so much goddess love and intention. It filled my cup in ways I didn’t know I needed.”
-TRACEY LEVENTHAL
“I didn’t come from a family that loved well—and at this retreat, I actually learned a lot about love. Just being invited meant the world to me.
It gave me a sense of renewal, benevolent love, community, and faith. I felt safe, seen, and truly held. Tahra creates a space where every woman feels welcome, wanted, and deeply loved. This retreat was a gift to my soul.”
— LAURA I
“Thank you so much for one of the most powerful and fun times of my life. This retreat was powerfully transformative!”
— LEILA GONZÁLEZ
“More of this, please! The love, energy, and coherence of the group were extraordinary. Every ritual, meditation, and shared story felt healing and intentional. We manifested this together under the orchestration of spirit, and it exceeded all expectations. Tahra, you embody the divine feminine and guide us with such sweetness and grace. I’m endlessly grateful.”
— JILL PREVENDAR
“It was pure magic.
Everything felt like it flowed and was meant to be. It cracked me wide open in the best possible way. I knew it would be special because Tahra was leading it (duh), but I wasn’t prepared for how aligned I would feel as a result of the experience.
It helped me grow in a way that now allows me to show up more authentically in my life.”
— DESIREE MUELLER
This was, hands down, the best retreat I have ever attended. The intention and care that went into every detail—from the way the altar and spaces were created each day, to the meals we shared with the most breathtaking view—made me feel like every part of it was crafted for us.
It was beautiful, sacred, and healing on a level I didn't expect. But it was the rebirthing ceremony, and especially the experience of being truly seen and held afterward, that changed me.
I would call this retreat How Julia Got Her Groove Back and honestly, I’d recommend it a thousand times over. It was exceptional, transformative, and everything I didn’t know I needed.
-JULIA DOTY
“The retreat was deeply transformational, heart-opening, and grounding all at once. I arrived carrying the weight of so many roles and responsibilities, and left feeling lighter, more connected, and realigned with my soul’s essence. I felt completely seen, heard, and embraced in my truth—something rare in everyday life.
The space was sacred, the women were magic, and the journey unforgettable. If someone is ready to return to themselves and connect with like-hearted women, this retreat is a true gift.”
— JENNY LAWLOR
“Truly a life-changer. I absolutely loved how everyone came together in love and harmony so quickly. It took me a few weeks to really grasp just how unique and special we all are—but this retreat opened that up for me.”
— WENDY OLMES
“The retreat felt like a sort of homecoming—a space where I could be more authentically me. Tahra held space with warmth, presence, and playfulness, creating a container that felt safe, healing, and deeply nurturing. Every detail was thoughtfully curated with the perfect balance of structure and flexibility.”
