What to Anticipate at Light Meets Dark:
Shadow Alchemy, Visionary Embodiment, and Soul Path Activation
THIS TRANSFORMATIONAL 7-NIGHT RETREAT IS A SACRED RITE OF PASSAGE, GUIDING YOU FROM ONE VERSION OF SELF TO THE NEXT.
We will guide you on this path by exploring four key relationships that architect our life:
1. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF:
Uncover and embrace all parts of you—the quiet protectors, the exiled parts, and the divine remembrance ready to be reclaimed. Through compassion and curiosity, your most tender parts are honored, and your journey of soul retrieval begins. You reclaim your connection to your higher self—not as something to become, but as something you've always been. This is where true self-trust takes root—where self-love becomes your foundation, clarity your compass, and empowerment the natural result of belonging deeply to your body, your truth, and the earth.
2. YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO OTHERS:
Experience the depth of true connection. Whether with current partners, future beloveds, family, or community—explore new ways of relating through vulnerability, compassion, truth, and courage. Create relationships that nourish and inspire you—where you feel safe to receive and empowered to bring your truest self forward. Heal in community and restore your sense of belonging in the web of life, as you discover new dimensions of yourself through the sacred mirrors of others. Let your relational field become a space for growth, intimacy, and creative empowerment.
3. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR ANCESTORS & LINEAGE:
Bring light to the generational patterns that live beneath the surface. As you recognize what’s been passed down—both the wounds and the wisdom—you step into your power to transform, to liberate, and to reclaim the sacred gifts and ancient magic of your lineage.
4. YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR UNIQUE GIFTS & MEDICINE:
Awaken the medicine that lives within you—your voice, your vision, your deep inner knowing. This is for those ready to feel clear, grounded, and aligned with a life path guided by the soul’s blueprint. A path where your creative expression becomes sacred offering—where the truth you carry is not just empowered, but shared with devotion, purpose, and a heart of service.
Deepen your spiritual connection, transform limiting patterns and emerge reborn.
Embrace a more confident, clear, connected and creative version of yourself.
Your most empowered self holds unique strengths, gifts, purpose and magnetism—your magic.
THIS EXPERIENCE IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU UNCOVER AND EMBODY THAT MAGIC.
Light Meets Dark is here to open your path.

“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.” -
