your host & guide
Bonjour, I’m Tara
After 25 years in Los Angeles, I moved back to France (where I grew up) to a unique location that’s off the beaten track.
Mill on the Rock is an active retreat, a cultural experience, a connecting point for like-minded people, and my home.
I’ve lovingly restored this ancient watermill and farm to be a sanctuary of sorts, where you spend 10 relaxing days doing what brings you joy, raising your vibration, before you start a new life chapter.
Each retreat is thoughtfully curated to provide a soul-elevating experience for all of our international guests.
P.S. Exploring a foreign country is a breeze when you have a local like me as your host. Concerned about the language barrier? Don’t worry—I’m your resident translator!
Elevate your soul. Recharge. Reset.
