Persephone's Garden - Caitlin Naramore

A three day retreat to

Return to the Sacred Feminine

Welcome to Persephone’s Garden, a three day journey rich with sisterhood, self discovery and sensual delights.

This profound experience, set in the stunning desert garden of Tucson, Arizona, will deepen your understanding of your vast inner landscapes, your personal mysteries, and your sacred embodiment.

You know you were born for an extraordinary life, a life where you feel confident to speak, move and live from your Truth, your grace, your fullness…

And in these three days, exquisitely placed between eclipses, together we will descend into darkness to arouse our powers, awaken our divine inheritance, and pass through these ritual gates renewed.

When we descend, there is no other way but to rise!

Journey Down Persephone’s Staircase into the Dark Season of the Year and Unveil the TRUE YOU….

Know Your Power

In these three unforgettable days, you will be granted full permission to BECOME your feminine essence, embrace your inner light as the dark season approaches, embody true abundance & wealth, and illuminate the queen within.

Like Persephone, you will find Solace and Power in the Dark.

In this safe, sacred and intimate container you will have the opportunity to GO IN and explore your inner world via your creative expression and dance rituals, as well as take a moment to truly receive in the form of a Persian dinner under the stars of the desert sky and once in a lifetime Cake Salon where together we will imbibe the foods of the goddess and soak in the energies of true abundance.

You can make your payment here, and we will follow up with a Welcome Email sharing all the details you will need for your weekend.

Essence Unbound...

We created this container as a means for each woman to truly find her own SOURCE and walk away renewed, empowered and connected to a community of modern day Queens.

In this day of high tech, we long for analog, for real touch, real sound, real tastes, real connections, nature, and our own intimate depths more than ever.

Persephone’s garden is a multi-sensorial experience that will satisfy that longing.

For women especially, the sensual realms are key to our happiness, our success, our longevity and our fulfillment, and metamorphosize us into the fullness of our essence and our external offers into the world.

Divine Sisterhood

Beyond the tangible moments of culinary decadence, creativity through painting and revealing our inner soul landscapes, and ritual embodiment we will share, you will leave the garden with a revitalized connection to your truth, your power and your feminine essence.

You will also gain a sisterhood based on honor, respect & reclaiming the sacred feminine.

(And if you’re like us, you CRAVE that level of connection more than anything in these times)

We don’t do catty here. No gossip. No drama. Higher selves and safe space only.

We come together to walk into the dark season of this year supported, revivified and connected not only to ourselves, but to a lineage of women who are wholly connected to the divine.

So come. Be yourself. Be your deepest, highest self. Let your true self be seen and expressed exactly as you are.

In a hyper masculine world, come indulge in feminine abundance and remember who you truly are.

Journey to Primordial Spirit - Art Workshop with Kati

Join us on a 3 hour deep dive, as we explore our infinite creative potentiality, and open up as pure vessels for the divine intelligence flowing through us. We will embark on an inner journey through the layers of consciousness, in the search of our true spirit. We will use art as a tool for healing, sharpening our awareness, and anchoring the higher frequencies of light.

No previous art experience is necessary to reclaim our birthright as a powerful creator of our lives.

A Desert Garden Plant Based Persian Dinner Party with Hila + Surprise Persian Performance

After painting our hearts out we will gather in an outdoor garden setting overlooking the desert to enjoy a magnificent 4 course plant based Persian feast fit for the goddess by local artisan chef Hila Granger.

Unwind, relax & connect with all the incredible women around you as you are surrounded by twinkling lights, sumptuous foods and roses beneath the desert sky, and be enchanted by a surprise performance under the stars…

This will be an evening to remember forever!

Temple Arts Embodiment Practices with Tenley

Path of Vitality & Devotion: a Remedy to the Perils of our Times.

Saturday and Sunday mornings, we unite to invoke Ancient Shakti Temples and related Wisdoms that have traversed time and place to guide, inspire, and remind us who we truly are, beyond our mundane world and daily demands.

Experience this ancient wisdom stream for women’s expansion, confidence, sovereignty, and awakening.

Learn through your embodied exploration why these feminine practices are still alive, pulsing, and practiced, from over 2000 years of whispers, yogini to yogini… to meet you today.

Tenley Wallace specializes in guiding women to their unbound, innate feminine radiance and power, “Shakti.” Her unique methodology conveys Ancient Feminine Wisdom to Modern Women through the disciplines of dance, yoga, and empowerment practices.

Cake Salon & Queen's Counsel with Caitlin

On Saturday, you are cordially invited to spend the late afternoon and evening sunset at Caitlin’s Catalina Foothills ‘Castle’ with views overlooking all of Tucson to indulge in an array of the finest gluten free, refined sugar free and dairy free desserts this side of the galaxy.

As a part of the Cake: Her Love Language book project, we will come together in the name of divine reverie, making dreams a reality & true wealth (hint: it starts from within)

We will together enjoy a riveting Queen’s Counsel discussion that will help elevate each woman attending to greater heights of limitless possibility in her life, addressing what may be blocking our greatest dreams so that we can be free to be the absolute highest versions of ourselves in this lifetime.

Come dressed to the nines for this truly a once in a lifetime experience.

*Our Autumnal & Persephone themed Cake Salon Menu will be shared upon registration.

Sound Healing Ceremony with Kati

Surrender to the sound to guide you into the infinite depths of your being, into more harmonized states of consciousness. We will travel from our minds, through the gateway of the point of stillness within our hearts. Relax, and receive vibrational medicine on a cellular level, releasing what no longer serves. Expand beyond into your multi dimensional nature, and cosmic awareness, to return into a more fully embodied state.

We will also have an opportunity to weave in harmonies together, using the sound to ride cosmic currents, helping each other to rise, and to walk away from our time together wholly fortified and revitalized for life.

World Class Photography with Jade

All weekend long, we will be blessed with the presence and masterful gifts of Jade Beall and her Love Ceremony Photography.

Jade has photographed thousands of women all over the world in honor of mothers, elders, and self love and will be capturing the essence of our weekend for memories, brand phots and more!

Jade will be offering just 2 private Photo Ceremonies before and after Perspephone’s Garden Retreat. Please inquire upon registration to book your space.

Tucson: A Desert Garden

Tucson is an extraordinary landscape of natural wonders. It is a lush desert garden rich with cacti, trees, flowers & all manner of abundant foliage. The spaciousness, light and magic of the Sonoran Desert is like nowhere else on earth, and the sunsets and monsoons are downright biblical! It is a place of reflection where you can hear your own spirit and connect with the divine.

The Sonoran Desert is also the only place on earth where the giant Saguaro Cactuses grow. The ‘redwoods’ of the desert, these cacti grow up to 60 feet, can live up to 200 years, weigh between 3200-4800 pounds and in the spring the females host a crown of brilliant white flowers that turn into the most potent red fruits on earth, what Caitlin lovingly calls ‘The Heart of the Desert’

Kati and Caitlin get together for a yearly harvest of these immaculate fruits, which we will be sharing with you in ritual this weekend to truly imbibe the potency of this living, breathing, miraculous desert we call home.

We will also be going on desert walks throughout the weekend together, walking with intent.. As we listen to the sounds of nature, and reflect clearly in our surroundings, we will find answers we seek within. Looking for the beauty and magic all around….

"Tenley’s presence and guidance redefined my relationship and embodiment of Sacred Dance and the Divine. What she offers is rich, juicy, sacred, spiritual, physical, inspirational, full of light and joy! Tenley's programs have been a catalyst for the unhindered unleashing of my spirit to awaken, motivating me to rise into my fully Divine Being! Thank you, Tenley, for being a perfect Mirror for enlightenment. Your humble nature makes the mirror that much clearer."

Grace A.

“Caitlin's cakes are indescribable! Words do not do them justice. If someone has not experienced them it’s like trying to explain a sunset to someone who is blind.”

Annette M.

“Caitlin really cares for her clients and is there for you to not only grow your business but also emotionally, spiritually and energetically. She understands the intuitive, sensitive woman so I felt seen and heard by her and am so grateful she created a program for a woman like me. I also set my voice free, came out of hiding online and no longer live in fear of being seen!”

Hailey S.

"If you feel called to work with Tenley as your feminine empowerment guide, as I did, listen to those Divine promptings and lean in as *she is the real deal.* Every interaction is a JOY !! She brings a unique personality, professionalism, and a genuine interest in uplifting and activating women. I look forward to staying allied with Tenley’s Temple Fusion Arts offerings and beyond… I highly recommend her."

Ayden B.

"Caitlin's desserts are pure alchemical delight! Her creations marry the highest frequencies of love with deep base-notes of pleasure to form a perfect and playful union of flavors and textures, essence and intention. If food is your love language, Caitlin's desserts will speak as deeply into your heart as it enthralls your tastebuds!"

Kristy S.

I had only 2 hours of art education in my childhood. When Kati suggested I learn an art technique from her I was certain this was a waste of her valuable time. But with her acceptance and encouragement, I could not believe what I created. She teaches in such a gentle manner I was soon having fun and forgot my nervousness. I look at the pieces I created and am still not sure how I happened to make them, but I look forward to doing it again.

Tiffany M.

Tenley, your teachings are what have been missing in my dance experience. Your program has been quite a journey for me… my body is more sensitive. I’ve dropped twenty pounds. I’m more mindful of everything that goes into my body, even my thoughts. Emotion and memory trapped in my body are being processed. I’m in awe of your dedication, devotion and knowledge. This embodiment business is no joke.

Julia F.

I am truly grateful to Kati for creating a series of sound baths that have helped me along my spiritual journey and self rediscovery. Kati has many beautiful gifts to share, but my favorite is when she sings in her sound healing sessions. Her voice is strong and confident and it inspires me to let go and flow with it. Each time a session comes to an end, I feel calm and have more self awareness. Kati has a very kind and gentle way of being and I am very fortunate our paths have crossed.

Developed specifically for busy (and often overwhelmed) modern women, Tenley conveys difficult to find, authentic, lineage based teachings of Ancient Feminine Wisdom through the disciplines of dance, yoga, empowerment practices, and soul-stirring rituals.

Tenley had the great fortune to study with dance and yoga legends around the world, leading to her development of TTF® which fuses Tribal Belly Dance, Indian Classical Dance, Persian Classical, and other Sacred Dance traditions, with Yogic Practices and Principles at the core.

In 2002, Tenley began extensive study of various modalities and techniques in healing, intuitive readings, transformation, Tibetan Buddhism, and beyond. Her life’s journey, challenges, and victories are amongst her most significant teachers. This all comes together as the path and fuel that transforms her clients’ lives.

Through group programs, 1-on-1 mentorships, online and in person courses, Tenley works with women of diverse backgrounds and from every continent on the globe (other than Antarctica), and after decades of leading clients through life-changing breakthroughs, Tenley claims herself to be a midwife for women’s transformation.

Amongst her greatest passions is teaching and performing internationally. And her hunger is never satiated to travel, study, speak foreign languages, and be immersed in the richness of our world’s traditional cultures.

Jade Beall Photography

Jade Beall is a mother, a radical self-love coach and a Tucson, AZ based world-renown photographer specializing in truthful images of women to inspire feeling irreplaceably beautiful and good about one’s body as a counter-balance to the airbrushed photoshopped imagery of a single body shape and age that dominates main stream media.

Jade’s books and social media platforms feature truthful photos of women alongside their stories of their journey to build radical self-love in a world that profits off women believing that their bodies are flawed and a problem, and never enough.

People finish feeling not only satisfied in their palete but also in their belly.

Hila has almost two decades of experience in cooking, starting with her modest first training and chef position at Expanding Light Ashram. She is an Ayurvedic Practitioner who brings this ancient wisdom to the modern table. One of her favorite things is to take foodies on a culinary journey with the power of taste.
