A Non-Dual Experience for Shadow Alchemy & Visionary Illumination.
Nestled in the lush, majestic mountains of Bali, a profound and transformative soul initiation awaits you.
Journey with us to explore the divine interplay between the compassion of the Bodhisattva Heart and the power of the Dark Magician within.
Light Meets Dark is a 7-night experience designed to dance beyond our own duality, harmonizing shadow and light individually and collectively in service to planetary consciousness.
Dates: August 24-31, 2025
With the option to integrate post-retreat healing through the technology of water fasting and parasite cleansing, guided as a group by a master teacher.
Welcome to an initiation into the full expression of your embodiment and the limitless depths of your heart. Step into your unique channel and embody the innate gifts of your soul.
We gather in the pristine beauty of Bali’s northern mountains to attune you to your deepest callings and visions, guiding you into the next evolutionary chapter of your life.
Light Meets Dark is a gateway to compassionate self-inquiry—a spiritual training ground to embody your authenticity, unlock your potential, and refine your unique transmission. Guided by a team of seasoned and initiated facilitators, this experience weaves expansive multidimensional access with grounded embodiment and practical integration.
You’ll walk away with embodied tools and practices to ground your experience and confidently integrate it into your life beyond the retreat.
Journey alongside kindred souls as we courageously navigate the shadowed realms of the soma, transmuting the remnants of ancient fears and limitations that have held us back.
Together, we awaken the visionary light within, co-creating a reality where peace, pleasure, radiance, confidence, and creative expression are not just possibilities, but foundations for a fully embodied life.
Within this sacred container, authenticity prevails. You are invited to shed both visible and concealed masks, allowing your true essence to radiate freely.
This is not a retreat to embody a lukewarm or diluted version of yourself. It’s a space to expand the capacity of your nervous system, relational field, voice, and embodiment to fully hold the magnitude of your brilliance.
Here, you'll be supported by a heart-centered and aligned team who genuinely holds your highest destiny and well-being as their deepest prayer.
FOR THOSE INITIATED BY DARKNESS IN THIS LIFETIME, WHO EMBRACE THE FULL SPECTRUM OF THEIR BEING AND DEVOTE THEMSELVES TO ALCHEMIZING PAIN INTO WISDOM AND LIMITS INTO BOUNDLESS CREATIVITY.
Light Meets Dark calls to those who have been forged by life’s initiations and are ready to integrate both shadow and light into full empowerment.
This retreat invites deep souls, healers, creatives and visionaries ready to embrace their next octave of potential.
It’s for those who desire a rare, profound, and spirit-led experience in the mystical lands of Bali, shared within community.
Guided by the archetypes of the compassionate Bodhisattva and the powerful Dark Magician, we will explore the interplay of these energies within us, learning how to embody and balance them in our lives with skill and precision.
Light meets Dark aligns with Bali’s sacred Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, a powerful window from August 24 to September 3, with the main festival on August 31. As the Balinese honor Lord Ganesh, remover of obstacles and guide into new beginnings, our retreat becomes part of this living prayer.
Held during this spiritually potent time, Light meets Dark offers a transformative journey of shadow work, purification, and renewal—supported by the wisdom of Ganesh and the ceremonial energy of Bali.

“What sets Mo apart is his capacity to hold space, creating an environment where I feel entirely safe, heard, and nurtured. I feel empowered to explore my own truths, never dictating answers but gently guiding towards self-discovery. This approach has been instrumental in my spiritual growth and trauma healing.”
To call Mo, a mentor almost feels in sufficient; he is a guide, a companion in thought and a source of light during times of personal darkness. I am endlessly grateful for his presence in my life. He has not only changed the way I view the world but also how I view myself and for that I will always hold the gratitude in my heart.”
- Nicki J
“Mo and I have spent a lot of time together exploring deep-level themes, such as Non-duality, Innocence, authenticity and magic; it was like a game of spiritual chess. Mo guided me to notice and observe these aspects of “reality”, understand how energy is in all things, and how all things are part of the source that we are a part of. I was lead to a better innerstanding of who I am and how to move from being illusioned to being the illusionist of the reality that surrounds me.
A key concept I visited with Mo was understanding the movement toward acceptance and appreciation of the darkness within us, as it gives shape and teaches us about light that we are. Although darkness has been present in our lives, we don’t have to allow it to corrupt our hearts. This is where the concept of “Demon hand, Buddha heart” comes from.
Through the teachings of Internal Family Systems, I learnt to recognize multiple aspects of myself and rather than “control” them, I could love and “heal” them. I learnt the concept of loving myself, all parts of myself.”
- Siddhartha (Simone) Porto
“Working with Tara has been nothing short of life-changing. She’s not just a coach or retreat facilitator—she’s a shepherd, guiding you through profound transformation with unwavering support that is truly rare. Attending her retreat in Bali was one of the most pivotal moments of my life. Tara creates a safe and compassionate space where you can dismantle old patterns, release what no longer serves you, and rebuild a life aligned with your deepest truth.
What sets Tara apart is her ongoing presence and care long after the retreat ends. Unlike others who move on after the program, she remains connected, ensuring you feel supported as you integrate the profound shifts you’ve experienced.
After working with many teachers and mentors, I’ve never encountered anyone who combines such deep insight, intuition, and genuine connection. Tara has a rare magic that leaves a lasting imprint on your soul, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found her.”
– Jason W
“Working with Tara has been truly transformative for my business journey. Through our work, I gained clarity, inspiration, and direction, realizing I wasn't aligned with my truest path.
Tara helped me shift onto a path that feels true to my calling and my deeper potential. With her guidance, I cleared energy that redirected the trajectory of my life. I learned the importance of balancing masculine and feminine energies internally, and across all areas of my business.
Her intuitive insights and somatic work empowered me to embrace my strengths and unique gifts fully. I created my next retreat from a place of genuine joy, ease, and inspiration, releasing any doubts around my business.
Our work propelled my business to its next level, as evidenced by selling out my next event in just 5 hours after launch. I am living my authentic path, and I am grateful for Tara’s support.”
– Christina M.
“I was feeling stuck, moving more from my head than my heart, and Tara helped me reconnect with my true path. Her intuition is sharp, we uncovered blocks I wasn’t aware of, like repressed emotions seeking release through my voice and sensual energy desiring expression.
She helped me address deep emotional patterns, particularly around family dynamics and balancing masculine and feminine energies. The somatic release I experienced was profound, and Tara’s gentle, insightful presence made it easy to trust the process.
She created a safe, loving space where I could fully release and heal. Through her guidance, I experienced a deep shift, liberating parts of myself I’d held back. Tara’s integrity and compassion makes her a powerful guide for anyone feeling out of alignment. She offers both insight and tools to bring you into authentic, purposeful flow.” -
