This retreat is designed for veterinarians, technicians, practice managers and anyone in the animal field who is ready to invest in both their professional development and personal well-being.

It's ideal for you if:

• You're a practicing vet/tech/manager looking to earn 12 hours of RACE-approved CE credits in an inspiring environment

• You're navigating burn out, stress, a lack of direction or simply want to invest in developing a sustainable career

• You value small, intimate groups and genuine human connection

Set on a pristine beach overlooking La Ventana Bay in Baja California Sur, Casa Tara is a boutique resort where the desert meets the sea. Expect a week that nourishes your mind, body, and career in equal measure.

Restoration Practices
Daily yoga and guided meditation and a traditional cacao ceremony will help open your heart and fill your cup. Enjoy a day at sea whale watching, swimming with sea lions and exploring Isla Cerralvo. Your stay includes access to the ocean side heated pool, on-site spa service, kayaks and SUPs.

Continued Education

12 hours of RACE-approved CE covering self-care, mental fitness, and career exploration — designed specifically for the veterinary profession. And our class rooms are not the stuffy over-flowing conference rooms your used too - pull up a bean bag, cover yourself with a warm blanket and interact with an intimate group of like-minded professionals.

Comfortable Living

Imagine not having to cook a single meal for 6 days, or falling asleep on a comfortable mattress with the view of the ocean. That’s what Casa Tara has to offer. With good access to WiFi, hot showers, air conditioning, high quality linens and eco-friendly shower products you will be living and learning in comfort. The on-site restaurant prepares fresh pescetarian meals daily, including an appetizer, entree and dessert every evening.
