The Kundalini Rose Garden – Temple of the Divine Mother is a vision of a retreat centre: a safe sanctuary for healing and transformation, embraced by wild nature. She is a rose portal to awakening, love, peace, harmony and creativity—of kundalini energy rising and activating our awakening – individually and collectively – to co-create a new Earth. This is a call to awaken to our divine essence and live as the most whole, authentic, vibrant and blossoming versions of ourselves.
We are an evolving collective of collaborating facilitators in service to holding space for others. We are an oasis for those processing trauma, grief, illness, depression or recovery; for spiritual seekers and misfits longing to find inspiration, wellness and tribe. We are passionate about womens work – and also hold mixed events. Through this journey of healing and remembering, we come home to ourselves, and weave a healthy balance between feminine and masculine energies—within ourselves, with each other, all of creation and the world-wide web.
The time has come for humanity to welcome the return of the Divine Mother!
Our Vision
We embrace the feminine ways of creativity, flow, devotion, pleasure, honouring nature and her cycles alongside un-compromising truth and clear boundaries.
Retreat Centre
The plan is to create a retreat centre and holistic community in rural Portugal, as a sanctuary for healing, creativity, empowerment and sustainable living.

Our Vision
The Kundalini Rose Garden is a portal to awakening, love, harmony and creativity—of Kundalini energy rising and activating our awakening – individually and collectively – to co-create a new Earth.
The Divine Mother is the mysterious cosmic womb, the essence of wholeness, birthing all of creation and a new paradigm for life on Earth. We revere the Goddess and saints in her many forms— Pachamama – Isis – Durga – Tara – Mary Magdalene – Black Madonna – Sophia – Prajnaparamita and so on—honoring her infinite expressions of compassion, beauty, magic and fierce protection.
We embrace the feminine ways of creativity, flow, devotion, pleasure, honouring nature and her cycles alongside un-compromising truth and clear boundaries.
This is a healing sanctuary for those who are yearning to heal their broken hearts, crushed spirits and lost souls – those experiencing bereavement, separation, exhaustion, processing trauma or in recovery.
This is a call to awaken to our divine essence and live as the most whole, authentic, vibrant and blossoming versions of ourselves. Through this journey of healing and remembering right relationship, we come home to ourselves, and weave a healthy balance between feminine and masculine energies—within ourselves, each other, the rest of creation and the world-wide web.
The time has come for humanity to welcome the return of the Divine Mother!
Dissolving the Patriarchy:
If we consider patriarchy as a system where men predominantly control resources, decision-making, and power, it has been dominant for approximately 5,000 to 7,000 years.
Prior to this, human societies exhibited more egalitarian or matrilineal structures, suggesting patriarchy is not an inherent feature of human existence.
We aim to dissolve any outdated patriarchal programmes within us and awaken the feminine – to create space for a harmonious new way of being and living.
Mission On!
The vision for this temple came to Karishma Sue Holmes at a festival in South Portugal in 2023. After a breathwork session and Kundalini activation she participated in a blindfolded trance dance. To her surprise, she received a vision of a dome temple, with the message, “Build a temple”. She saw the name ‘Kundalini Rose Garden’ appear on it, and that it would host various paths of holistic and spiritual practices and be devoted to the Divine Mother, helping to birth new consciousness into the world.
Retreat Centre
We have a Go-Fund me campaign, if you would like to donate.
Once we have found the land, we will be offering specific investment proposals and levels of ‘rewards’ for contributions.
The plan is to create a peaceful home on the land in wild, beautiful nature in rural Portugal, for a small community of friends and caretakers of the project. We will create a retreat centre, dedicated to healing, recovery, creativity, and sustainable off-grid living, for solo guests and groups.
The centre will be a feng shui-designed sanctuary of beauty, featuring gardens filled with medicinal plants, home-grown food, bees and a natural swimming pool. Our facilities will include a temple space for group activities, and accommodation and facilities for guests. It may be a simple, humble set-up, or a more ambitious project, depending on who becomes involved, our combined budget, potential grants and the scale & capacity of the land.
Residents, skilled in facilitation and practical trades, will be able to live independently from each other as well as enjoy community life, while maintaining privacy from group retreat areas.
Our niche is a safe sanctuary for women’s healing, recovery, transformation and empowerment. We also host mixed programs & Kids’ projects.
Our retreats focus on holistic transformative practices including yoga, breathwork, healing, meditation, dance, music, art, singing, sound and ceremony with teacher plants. We also run educational courses.
Our offerings will bud organically from whoever our residents and collaborators are. We also invite compatible facilitators to connect with us.
Through this vision, we aim to offer a space for personal transformation, healing from trauma, and re-connection with nature – supporting guests and participants to experience a reset and carry their renewed, nourished, authentic selves back into the world.
Together, we will cultivate a thriving, conscious community that nourishes, awakens and inspires.

About Talia Shaw
Talia’s journey into naturopathy began over 12 years ago when she faced challenging digestive imbalances and hormonal disruptions after coming off the birth control pill. Determined to heal herself, she immersed herself in Orthomolecular nutrition, Bach flower remedies, Chinese 5-element nutrition, mindfulness, reflexology, guided meditations, and herbalism. By addressing the root causes of her symptoms and managing underlying stress, she transformed her health and discovered a deep passion for natural healing, inspiring her to support others on their healing paths through 1-on-1 Nutritional Coaching and Retreat Chef services.
A year ago, Talia and her husband bought a beautiful farm in Portugal, dedicated to self-sufficiency and cultivating a life connected to nature. They are lovingly creating a sanctuary for transformative retreats and private stays, offering a peaceful space where simple changes can make a big difference.

Modern media and culture bombard women with pressure to conform to a narrow, artificial standard of beauty—pushing heavy makeup, cosmetic surgery, and Botox as the path to looking “perfect.” But in reality, these trends tend to leave everyone with the same unnatural appearance, not to mention the ongoing cost and risks. It’s totally understandable why women go down this path. We all want to look beautiful, youthful and feel our very best – but there are so many other ways – and we want to share them with you!
True beauty isn’t found in manufactured perfection on the top layer of skin—it radiates authentically from within. It’s time to redefine beauty, and remember that it relates to our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing. By doing so, we set a powerful example for the next generations.
Join this revolution, as we embrace you in a loving women’s circle of transformation from the inside out – supporting you to boost your mojo, joie de vivre, and sex appeal!
Through powerful breathwork, kundalini yoga, movement, and heart-opening practices, we will guide you to activate your inner glow and reconnect with your deep wellspring of feminine vitality. This is a recalibration, a reset to the unique, creative, attractive, graceful, dignified, fully-alive, juicy and beautiful woman you are!
