Return to Self, Leave with Community
Days at Embrace: A Retreat for Radical Self Love unfold slowly and intentionally, balancing movement, reflection, creativity, and rest.
Mornings begin in quiet connection—with silent walking meditation in nature, tea ceremonies, and gentle yoga practices to awaken the body and mind. After a nourishing breakfast, we move into workshops and guided sessions designed to help you explore mindfulness, creativity, and deeper self-awareness.
Afternoons offer a blend of somatic practices, yoga flows, and creative healing experiences such as art-based reflection or sound immersion. There is always space to rest, journal, explore the trails, enjoy the sauna or plunge, or simply be.
Evenings bring the community together over shared meals and meaningful conversation. The day closes with deeply restorative practices like Yin yoga, Yoga Nidra, sound baths, or cacao ceremony—allowing you to unwind, integrate, and settle into deep rest.
Every day is thoughtfully curated (with some surprises- to incite wonder and joy), but always spacious—giving you the freedom to honor your own rhythm.

Together, we hold this retreat with intention, guiding practices and nurturing an environment where every woman feels supported in returning to her truest self.
