Human design speaker
Christine Flowers
Human Design combines aspects of Astrology, Numerology, The I Ching, and The Kabbala. It creates a process that allows you to uncover an amazingly accurate guide to your individual operating system. It is a comprehensive and personalized map of your unique energy and life blueprint that helps you feel your way back into your authenticity while uncovering the real you behind your conditioning. As you begin to understand why you respond the way you do, you gain confidence in yourself and your decision-making.
A wake-up tool for personal growth and self-awareness, you move into knowing and seeing the correct opportunities, friendships, and relationships, and where to put your energy. Learning about your design helps you understand yourself, your gifts, and gives you clarity of purpose. It offers you a compass, that once discovered and understood, can help guide you to the fulfillment of your potential.
I am so happy to be sharing this with you! This process of discovery has helped me understand and embrace my uniqueness. And as a result, my life flows in a calmer, more peaceful way that is correct for me, which is in my design!

Eco-Luxury Resort
Casa Tara Resort & Spa
A wellness location with a heart, soul, and a story. Marcela, the owner, had a dream to create a feng-shui, eco-centric, and remarkable oasis. And since Intention Beads hosted the first ever retreat over 8 years ago, the relationship and memories built have been nothing short of wonderful.

Astrology
Astrology + Human Design Basics
Immerse yourself in the foundational principles of Astrology and Human Design, two powerful systems that offer profound insights into your life's purpose, strengths, and challenges.
During this retreat, you'll explore your astrological chart, uncovering the mysteries of your natal chart, including key placements that shape your personality and life path. You'll learn how to navigate through the cosmic influences that affect your decisions, relationships, and personal growth.
In addition, you'll be introduced to Human Design, discovering your unique Human Design type—whether you are a Manifestor, Generator, Projector, or Reflector—and what it means for your energy and interaction with the world. You'll understand your strategy and authority in decision-making to live in alignment with your true self, and dive into the centers, gates, and channels that make up your personal Human Design chart.
Throughout the retreat, you'll track events and thoughts to gain insights into how these cosmic tools can guide you. Interactive sessions will allow you to practice applying Astrology and Human Design concepts to your daily life, and personalized readings will help you integrate these systems and harness their wisdom for your personal and spiritual growth. Join us on this enlightening journey and emerge with a deeper understanding of yourself and the cosmic forces at play in your life. Your inner compass is ready to guide you—let's embark on this adventure together!
The Workshops
Talisman-making
Each retreat has its own special talisman- a symbol of the knowledge and wisdom aquired and inspired by the astrological theme. You will unleash your creative talent (yes, it is there- we promise) and take part in every part of the creation process. We do not disclose the type of talisman until after the opening ceremony.
Optional adventures
Water sports & Local Market
Just you and the open sea - every morning! Explore the beautiful fish and coral with some snorkel gear, stand-up paddle boarding, or a refreshing swim just steps from the resort. As a group, we will also visit the local market with vendors selling textiles, food, jewelry, and souvenirs. A great time to collect some local gifts to bring home!
Casa Tara Resort & Spa- La Ventana, Mexico
Welcome to Casa Tara where you shall walk onto the sacred property and immediately feel the relaxed protection of the Goddess Tara. She is undoubtedly the most powerful female deity believed to possess the ability to guide followers, like a star, on their spiritual path.
As we stay with her for one week at the beginning of a new year, we can let go and fill up. Our fuel is the blue Sea of Cortez on our own private beach, the saltwater pool and hot tub, access to stand-up paddle boards, snorkeling gear, an amazing spa, a top notch cuisine restaurant, 2 palapas (one outdoor for yoga and one indoor for workshops), personal astrology lessons and practices, and so much more. We will be full of the universe's gifts.

The location
Casa Tara Resort & Spa
On the sacred grounds of Casa Tara, eco-friendly meets luxury and seeks to live in continuous harmony with the environment. The building materials were carefully selected for low-impact alternatives: Straw bales were used as filler in the walls for insulation, the grounds are watered with recycled water, and renewable solar energy powers part of the hotel. As for the atmosphere, a Feng Shui expert led the plans.
The Accommodations
Heavenly Rooms
A small, intimate resort, and no room without an ocean view. You have the choice between a single or double room equipt with: Luxurious Bedding, Ensuite Bathrooms, Desk, Patio, Wifi, Air Conditioning, & Security Box
The View
The Sea of Cortez
A easy walk down a private staircase leads to the secluded shore where you can snorkle, SUP board, or kayak. Enjoy watching the colorful kiteboarders, energizing sun rises, and deep red sunsets.
The Menu
Fresh and Local Dishes
Fresh, locally caught fish and seafood is the main menu- and is one of the major reasons we return every year! The food is delicious, fresh, and made on-site. With a pre-fixed menu that can be modified for any dietary preference, the kitchen serves up decadent surprises for early morning snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktail hour! Alcohol is not covered in the retreat price, but available for purchase.
The Program
Learning your Astrology + Human Design
Each retreat has its own astrological theme that is either present during the retreat or a major transit happening soon. Beginners are welcome! Since the application of the astrology is meant to open your mind and help direct your personal growth- you do not need to know how to read a chart or have any previous astrology/human design experience. All you need is a willingness to listen and learn.
The Talisman
Creating your own talisman
There is no other souvenir quite like it. During the astrology workshops, you will handcreate a meaningful talisman that is all your own to remember the transformative and inspiring journey. Each talisman is different and is not disclosed until after the opening ceremony.

TESTIMONIALS
My intentions going into the La Ventana Retreat were to continue to allow a greater clarity of my Divine Purpose through the perspective of my Natal Chart and the many personal astrological insights shared at this Retreat!
✨🙏✨
-Susan N.
The retreat brought me closer to myself as far as learning about my character, how I shine and why I do certain things. I love knowing about my chart and future events and how I want to move forward.
- Jean W.
Unless you are coming with a friend, you go in knowing no one. You leave with a connection with each soul that attends... crazy I know! But it happens! If anyone is ever apprehensive about joining, please take the chance.
You will not regret it!
- Janice V.
The schedule was perfectly balanced with free time and activity. The physical accommodations were peaceful and nurturing to help me disconnect from my daily fast paced life.
- Ann M.
