Welcome to The Land of Enchantment Taos, New Mexico Retreat! Northern New Mexico is truly a unique and enchanted slice of the southwest. Experience the Spirit of Taos, New Mexico for  yourself!

Join your hosts Loren Lotus and Kate Morris for a soulful, nourishing weekend in the Southwest. Gather with a group of incredible, likeminded yogis & seekers to explore all the elements and unique nature all around us.

Taos is a powerful, mystical place in Northern America, preserved for thousands of years by the indigenous Taos Pueblo natives. You're invited to visit these sacred lands as we reconnect to the energy around us, within us and offer respect to each powerful element day by day. 

We will dive into each element; fire, earth, water, air and ether to deepen our relationship and understanding of each element around us and within us; and how to respect the power of each. 

We're inviting you to this sacred land to hold us in it's magic as we reconnect, reset and balance the energy of our inner and outer worlds. Now more than ever, we are being called to balance the Yin and the Yang, the feminine and the masculine and the inner and outer worlds of our mind, body & Spirit.

Lotus Retreats has carefully curated this weekend with daily morning & evening; Yoga, Asana, meditation and mindfulness practices to guide us back into relationship with our bodies, minds, hearts, breath & soul.

Each day of the retreat will also highlight an element for us to explore through river hikes, mountain treks, fire ceremony, and mindfulness in the open, spacious air. We'll also enjoy soaks in natural hot springs, cold river plunges, time in the pine forest and in the open desert mesa. Taos offers a variety of landscapes for us to deepen with Mother Nature. 

We'll also explore the Native Taos Pueblo with guidance from our very own Pueblo family to share their traditions and welcome us into their homes for a true, authentic taste of ancient and modern Taos Pueblo culture. 

Optional activities like river rafting the Rio Grande or site seeing the famous Rio Grande Gorge, Visiting the Earthships, Horseback riding or shopping the Southwestern Art are all encouraged!
