Return to the Mother is about coming home -
to the womb of Mother Earth, to yourself, and to what really matters.
This intimate experience is a 4-day fully customized personal retreat.
Give yourself the opportunity to slow down, nourish your body and spirit, and tend to the parts of you that need healing and renewal.
You’ll be wrapped in the nurturing womb-space of our off-grid home under sacred Taos Mountain. Feel the earth beneath your feet. Connect with the Great Mystery as you stargaze under the Milky Way.
Relax into the safe space of the Divine Masculine / Divine Feminine that Russ and Julie create. We’re dedicated to your well being while you unwind and remember - the Love that you came from, the support that’s always there, and the magic that lives inside you.
Retreats are open to individuals, couples, and friends - with a maximum of two guests to ensure a deeply personal and immersive experience.

✧ Organic, homemade meals crafted with love to nourish your body and soul

About Your Hosts
Julie and Russ were guided to Taos, NM after a 5-year Spirit Journey which took us to sacred sites and expansive experiences across the planet, engaging in our own deep healing work as well as working ceremonially with a variety of plant medicines in Mexico and South America.
Since landing in New Mexico in 2019, Julie has completed hundreds of hours of multidisciplinary training and practice in trauma-informed somatic coaching, sexual healing, family & ancestral healing, and energy healing - all of which inform her guidance of retreat guests.
Julie and Russ have been strongly influenced by their personal journeys with the sacred medicines and are deeply grateful to get to share the medicine of our Mother Earth with others who desire to heal, connect and expand.
