THE LOCATION
森林四季·泥地裡的小蝸牛與鹿
Where the mountain meets the sea
On the mountainside of XiaoMa in Taitung, there stands a wooden old house lovingly cared for by its owner.
Nestled in the undisturbed junction of mountains and sea, only we will be present here— a group of women practising. In this space, we dance, meditate, breathe, and indulge in good food, nurtured and cherished by the land.
Rooms will be shared, with four-person or two-person rooms assigned randomly. We are learning to let go of attachments and control, going with the flow. If there are any specific needs, feel free to contact us separately.
The shower space and toilet are simple and clean. Given the limited resources on the mountain, we collectively safeguard this sanctuary. Please bring your towels and toiletries and open your heart to the simplicity of life, learning to coexist with nature.
In the mountains, there may be mosquitoes or other flora and fauna. Please try to appreciate their charm, perhaps even enjoy the feeling of running barefoot on the earth.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
Dori Tsao and Karolina
We come from Taipei and Lithuania, and crossed paths in Hualien, Taiwan.
It’s truly magical how, on the journey of spiritual growth, we tend to attract individuals who are similar to ourselves, creating an environment where mutual growth is possible – and that’s exactly what happened with us.
In the simplicity of our interactions, we shared many similar perspectives and practices, exploring each other’s experiences and learning. A powerful spiritual calling led to the formation of the ‘Wild Goddess Women Retreat’, and we’ve collectively felt that this yoga journey has long been completed. Here, we are merely piecing together the traces of this expedition anew.
If you also hear this calling, we invite you to join us on our journey!”
Karolina Fomiciova Bhadauria
Is a certified 800 hours yoga & tantra teacher, lives and teaches between India, Taiwan and Europe. She is an organizer of spiritual pilgrimage journeys, retreats and sacred circles for Women. While living two years in the Himalayas, there she gained spiritual knowledge and practical techniques of self-realization. Till nowadays she keeps learning from her masters and sharing the yogic, tantric and shamanic wisdom with her audience.
Dori Tsao
Immersed in over 500 hours of Kriya Yoga training in India, Bali, and Sri Lanka. Devoting more than two years daily to the practice. Certified by the highest spiritual guide, Guruji Dr. Pradeep Ullal, and training instructor Samten Kriya.
Her way of sharing the wisdom and grace through being centred, empty herself and return back to zero field allowing the teaching to happen.
Dori says:
I am a disciple and practitioner of Himalayan Kriya Yoga.
Life is a constant process of trying to once again remember who we really are. Many great teachers say that we are love, we are light, we are a frequency, we are complete and whole.
However, without witnessing it firsthand, without experiencing it ourselves, we often find it hard to believe. In the practice of Himalayan Kriya Yoga, I caught a glimpse of this love and light. In that moment of experience, I decided to believe with my whole heart and devotedly immerse myself in the practice.
Day after day, I let go of what I have learned and start anew. And then again, and again, until I can consistently experience that boundless love, until the moment I am free and at ease.
This will be a long journey, and during this journey, I want to share this powerful practice with you, so we can celebrate life together.
In just two short years, I completely changed my lifestyle, diet, thoughts, actions, and mindset. Our lives take shape from countless choices, and if you can fully grasp these moments of choice, unimaginable happiness will come into your life.
I am a facilitator in Himalayan Kriya Yoga practice, and we have only one teacher, Maha Avatar Babaji.
Looking forward to practising together.

Testimonial
結束課程後沉澱了幾天，持續自己練習，感受課程的餘韻；或許是課程安排在瀑布前、三百年大樹前，練習舞蹈與不同呼吸法，身心都很輕盈。在自然中進行的課程體驗，讓人感受到跟自然的連結。
因為是一對一的課程，在整個體驗中，老師會注意我的狀態，每個段落了解我的反饋提供說明，根據我的身體反應，調整進行方式。有些聽不懂的地方，老師也會再多加說明，關切我有沒有理解她表達的內容，甚至放慢語速。
我很喜歡在土地公小廟練習呼吸法的部分，在練習前上香祈禱，祈求在地神祇的祝福。特別喜歡老師在引導過程中，帶著我感受大地母親的能量來到我的身上，也讓我將我的能量傳遞給大地母親，能夠給予的感覺也讓人感覺很棒。在學習舞蹈的過程中，要用力踩踏，很踏實，每個腳步都讓我感覺到大地母親。雖然是簡單的舞蹈動作，但出乎意料的很累！整個人都很投入其中，肚子出力，每一下都要用力發聲，好像要把魔鬼嚇跑一樣，全心全意，拉長舌頭，瞪大雙眼，每做一次就更有感覺。緊接著要閉上眼睛唸咒，越唸越起勁，聲音會越來越宏亮，閉起眼睛也很神奇感覺在眼前有不同的光影變幻。
這一天跟老師走了好多路，一邊交流生活經驗，也是很寶貴的時間。一整天的課程，練習腹式呼吸，練習舞蹈，感受身體，從一開始感覺全身比較緊繃，深呼吸的過程有時卡卡的，感覺到來自肌肉的拉扯，甚至有的身體部位是沒辦法感受到的，隨著一天課程能感受到的身體部位也變多了，接下來繼續練習，繼續感受

THE PRACTICES
Experience Himalayan Kriya Yoga
Every day we will have a kriya yoga session. Releasing the baggage you have been carrying, the baggage from your emotions, responsibilities, disease, traumas, memories, family issues, even your ancestor’s painful experience could be also in your cells. Kriya is an action to burn off the karma, through the technique of tapping, breathing, dynamic movement, mudra, bija sound, to dissolve the obstacles inside you.
Kriya is a great journey to prepare yourself to be ready for more possibilities, on the way we will reveal layer and layers of false information we put on ourselves, and closer to our true nature.
Experience The Goddess Dance at the bonfire
Embody the Goddess through dance movements. We will imitate her face expression, through dynamic breath we’ll connect with our chakras, the energy centres and sacred sounds, mantras. We will meditate on her, eventually experiencing ourselves as the Goddesses archetype.
Kali & Durga Goddess archetypes
Goddess Kali is a fierce archetype helping us to cut off everything that is no longer serving in our lives.
Goddess Durga, a warrior and Universal Mother archetype, helps us to gain clarity and courageously move towards the new life vision. Dynamic movement and dance practices, breathwork, mantra chanting, and guided meditation will help to eliminate toxic behaviour patterns, and release painful belief systems.
Dancing in the circle surrounding the fire, through our barefeet connecting with the ground and letting the elements of nature to support us in the dance of transformation is a very powerful and one of a kind experience.
Experience Shamanic Cacao Ceremony & Blue Lotus Purification
Ceremonial Cacao is the energy of Mother Nature and a Goddess called Ixcacao. When we drink original and pure ceremonial cacao, it is helping us to move through the stagnant energy and connect with our true, ever joyful nature. Cacao is teaching us to honour our ancestors, and find our strength in the roots. Blue Lotus is a compassionate Goddess and energy of light, spiritual growth. When we drink blue lotus we feel soft relaxation, our intuition opens to receive wisdom messages.
Experience Meditation at the Oceanside
What can be more delicious than lunch in nature with the seaview! If the weather allows us, we will enjoy our meal at the beach sitting under the shade. Observing the sounds of soothing nature we will enter into the state of meditation guided by one of our teachers.
