Detailed Program

  • 11AM-12PM

    Welcome Remarks and Grounding Meditation with a sound bath and energy healing led by Phim & Daniela

    Phim will ease you into a calm and grounding meditative state with the help of her singing voice, on top of instruments such as crystal singing bowls, drums, chimes, and more. Phim's guided meditation will include elements of somatic body scanning, mindfulness, and Reiki energy healing.

    Phim will be joined by Daniela, a psychic channeler, tarot reader, and energy healer. Daniela will use light language and a variety of healing instruments (e.g., tuning forks) to provide 1:1 energetic resets for each participant as Phim leads the sound bath.

  • 12-1PM

    Intuitive Tarot Workshop, including a group tarot swap led by Daniela

    We’re excited to celebrate our community and Tarot Girl Era name with a special afternoon dedicated to tarot. Daniela will guide an intuitive reading workshop, followed by time to connect and practice 1:1 tarot readings with each other.

    *We encourage participants to bring 1-2 tarot decks and a scarf or something to lay their cards on.

  • 1-1:40PM

    Lunch with Live Zodiac Tarotscopes led by Phim and Daniela

    Enjoy a catered lunch. While we eat, Phim and Daniela will share tarotscopes for zodiacs by doing a quick read for each sign. Listen in or enjoy your lunch outdoors on the deck or in the nearby nature scape.

    *Meals, light snacks and drinks are included in ticket pricing.

  • 1:40-2PM

    The Martial Artists' Chocolate Ritual: A Guided Tasting led by Valerie

    Chocolate is the universal symbol of love and emotional openness. On a chemical level, it opens the heart as a gentle cardiac stimulant. Martial arts teach us that the heart must be protected in battle, through disciplined movement and awareness of body and space. Through a guided chocolate tasting, we will (re)discover that the strongest heart is both open and protected.

  • 2-3:10PM

    Collaging the Message You Need: DIY Oracle Card Workshop led by Ariana

    Art meets intuition in this meditative creative experience. Drawing from your intuitive tarot reading and personal healing journey, you will create a one-of-a-kind affirmation card that captures the message you need to be reminded of right now. Ariana will guide you through collage techniques as you blend imagery, color, and meaning into something that reflects what your soul is calling in. You will leave with a handmade card you will treasure long after the retreat ends.

  • 3:10-3:30PM

    Break / Nature Walk

    Transition between AM and PM attendees; full-day attendees remain.

    Folks can take a break on the second floor balcony or outdoors on a nearby nature trail.

  • 4-5:15PM

    Moon & Magic Yoga with a sound bath and energy healing

    Gina will reveal how yoga and astrology provide pathways back to the body, the breath, and the magic connecting us all to ourselves. Through intuitive movement and lunar awareness, Gina will create space for reflection and connection. The experience is designed to help you ground, soften, and tune into your own inner magic, encouraging presence, curiosity, and deeper alignment. Daniela and Phim will support this yoga session with energy healing and a live sound bath.

  • 5:15-5:45PM

    Creative Silent Meditation led by Phim

    Take a moment to integrate your spiritual downloads and ideas from the day. We will guide you through a reflection and recalibration during this silent meditation.

Testimonials from our last retreats

“It was a much-needed event for me. I had a wonderful time! I loved being in a space of like-minded people; it was a very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Phim has a great talent for creating a safe space and bringing everyone together. I am looking forward to more of her events.”

— KS

“The retreat was great. It was a very safe space. I learned a lot of new things as well. Dani’s energy clearing and cleansing with the egg was also awesome and amazing. It really helped, and the cracked egg reading was spot on.”

— SK
*Special note: We will not be doing an egg limpia workshop this time around!

“It was lovely to just get out of my head/space somewhere new and have a day dedicated to some wellness and connecting with myself. I wanted a way to kick off the new year and feel a passage of time—something witchy and wellnessy. Overall, I’d rate this retreat as very good.”

— ML

From the Founders

  • Phim Her

    Tarot Girl Era was founded to spark magic and connection in all of our lives. We are excited to hold space in community with you and all our healers. May this retreat remind us that we are all precious beings that deserve to take a big collective breath.

  • Daniela Fant

    It’s not every day that we get to spend time doing witchy, spiritual, and magical things—especially with people who are equally invested in their personal growth and development. I can’t wait to create a safe space for vulnerability and illumination.
