The journey is IN. 

This Inbodied Life retreat is an opportunity to explore all that you are, all that you're part of and all that you come from.

At HOLOS, in the breathtaking Diamante Valley of Costa Rica, you'll be held by lush jungle, rolling mountains, and sacred waterfalls as you do your deep inner work. 

Psychedelic Psychotherapist Lauren Taus will be offering support around three ceremonies led by Karen Gordon and supported by Dave Perry. This experience will begin well before arrival. Lauren and Karen will lead preparation calls to ensure each participant's readiness for the sacred encounter. 

Saying YES to this journey is saying YES to Life, 

and life, my friends, is Inbodied.

We hope you'll join us.

LAUREN TAUS

Lauren is dedicated to integrating modern science and ancient wisdom to support personal transformation and much needed systemic change. She started Inbodied Life as a private psychotherapy practice, and it blossomed into a group practice that is also a platform for education through in-person, experiential trainings and retreats.

Lauren graduated summa cum laude from Barnard College at Columbia University with a BA in Religion before completing her Masters in Social Work at NYU. Lauren focuses on the matrices that hold individuals, rejecting mainstream efforts to pathologize people as if their symptoms could be isolated from their environments.

Licensed as a clinical therapist in both New York and California, Lauren believes that life - and good psychotherapy - is psychedelic. She is trained by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies), the Ketamine Training Center and in the shamanic realms. Lauren feels honored to partner with plant and compound allies in her work, but will always hold loving relationships as the most important medicine, and the only one we all really need.

Lauren’s biggest prayer is to wake people up to the magic of life and what they’re part of. Lauren understands that the highest form of personal healing contributes to collective liberation. She feels particularly excited to share her work publicly. Lauren is a frequent contributor on stages at psychedelic conferences such as Meet Delic, Wonderland and Trail Blazers. Her work has also been featured in magazines such as Double Blind, New York Magazine, Chacruna, the Guardian, and Forbes.

KAREN GORDON

Equal parts soul-filled scientist, inspired educator, nature therapist and entheogen guide, Karen has been restoring landscapes and facilitating transformative experiences in nature for humans for 30 years. Her work as a restoration ecologist has flowed from the fjords of the North Atlantic and across the reefs of the Caribbean sea, through the Peruvian Amazon and up to Costa Rica's cloud forested mountaintops.

Founder of the Center for Sacred Ecology and steward of the 40-acre Samanea Nature Sanctuary in Monteverde, Costa Rica Karen creates spaces where nature infuses and informs the awakening human heart. Prayer and ceremony sit at the center of her life. Karen has a Master's degree in Educational and Organizational Leadership, and a post graduate diploma in Spiritual Direction with an emphasis in nature therapy. Karen has worked within the Peruvian mestizo vegetalista tradition for the last 8 years. In addition to regularly serving alongside highly respected traditional curanderos in international circles, she holds space for intimate, intentional and heart-filled circles within in Costa Rica.
