Shangri-La - The Happiness Project-2026
A 3-night nervous system retreat for women who’ve already done the work - but haven’t yet felt it land.
You know something’s off in your relationship
in conversations
in the way you go quiet
and then think about it later
You’ve done the work
you understand your patterns
and you’re still doing it
You feel it in the moment and still say “it’s fine”
And then you meet yourself later replaying it
You don’t trust yourself in the moment… so you lose yourself in it
Held at The Mill House -
Monday 29th June to Thursday 2nd July, 2026
A peaceful, fully catered countryside retreat with:
✔ Daily nervous system resourcing
✔ Breathwork & subconscious integration
✔ REMAP sessions woven into the flow
✔ Delicious meals, quiet space, laughter, firepits, restoration
Who this is for:
This isn’t a “learn more” retreat
It’s where you stop holding it all together
For the woman who
understands her patterns
but still feels them in her body
Who looks calm
but is bracing underneath
Who’s done managing it
and is ready
to actually feel different
Why this retreat works differently
You don’t need another breakthrough
You need your system
to feel safe enough
for what you already know
to actually settle
That’s what these days create
Not intensity
Capacity
Enough space
for your body
to stop bracing
So you don’t keep going quiet
or replaying it later
That’s what this retreat gives you:
– A full nervous system arc from freeze → flow
– Practices that meet you where you are - not where you “should be”
– Group facilitation that never pushes, but tracks safety in real time
– Time to digest and integrate, not just consume
A note from Tara
I created this space because I was the woman who looked steady and was bracing underneath
Holding everything together until I couldn’t
Shangri-La is the space I needed back then
Somewhere to soften without pressure
To be met where I was and actually feel safe
Everything here is guided through your nervous system, to bring actual space to your system.
So the change doesn’t just happen there
You carry it with you
What I didn’t expect last year was this…
This Is Where Things Actually Change
Last year, three women left this retreat and made decisions they had been circling for years.
Not because I pushed them. Not because they had a dramatic breakthrough. Because their nervous systems finally stopped bracing.
When your body stops bracing, you stop tolerating what drains you.
One woman left the job that was slowly eroding her confidence. Her body followed. She dropped 1.5 stone without dieting. Not through force. From safety.
One woman left a relationship she had been emotionally negotiating with for years.
One woman realised she needed deeper trauma support - and that clarity eventually led her out of an abusive dynamic.
I did not tell them to leave anything. Their systems simply stopped mistaking peace for danger.
And stopped second-guessing themselves in the moment.
And once that happened - they could see clearly.
Why This Matters
You don’t change your life when you decide to. You change your life when your body no longer feels threatened by the change. Most women don’t need more insight. They need enough safety in their system for their truth to surface without panic.
That’s what these four days create. Not hype. Capacity.
Two weeks after this retreat, you might notice:
• You’re not snapping as quickly. • You sleep more deeply and stop lying awake replaying conversations• You stop over-explaining yourself. • Your chest feels lighter. • You laugh without scanning the room or worrying about how it will be taken
This Is Where Things Actually Change
And stopped second-guessing themselves
