“Embody is balm for the soul. The safe, sacred container the facilitators create allows one to feel held and nurtured while also open to expand. All of the activities (yoga, authentic relating exercises, kirtan, dance) are expertly crafted and the addition of down time allows for a spacious experience. There is nothing quite like healing, singing, dancing, crying, laughing, and witnessing each other in community.”

“As a healthcare worker, these last couple years have been extremely difficult and it has been very disarming to see so many people in so much suffering and pain. It was taking quite a large mental and physical toll on my well-being, so when I saw that there was an opportunity to attend this retreat, I jumped at the chance and I am so grateful that I did.
During this weekend, I was surrounded by gentle souls who facilitated the retreat and offered such amazing gifts to its participants. I was led through beautiful songs, delicious and nutritious food, energy readings, breath work, dancing, singing, laughing, aura readings, yoga and so much more I cannot even name. I came into this group without knowing anyone, but I immediately felt safe in this container and was so incredibly glad to have met every person there. I am going to treasure all of the relationships I made through this retreat.
I opened my heart and my mind and I learned so much about myself and about others because of the time I gave myself to heal this weekend. Before coming to this retreat, I always heard that you cannot pour from an empty cup, so I tried so desperately to practice everything I could to promote self-care and self-love. What I did not realize is that my cup was not only half full, but it was cracked and leaking all of the love that I try to pour into it. Because of everyone I met and everything I learned through this retreat, I sealed all of those cracks with diamond dust and now I finally feel that I can fill up my cup and give even more than I have before while also protecting my boundaries and my heart.”

“I had no idea what to expect from my first Embody Retreat. I was nervous and excited about going alone without knowing anyone. The organizers and the rest of the group made me feel so welcome and held. This weekend was full of magic, connection with humans, nature, and spirit, and very powerful spiritual-emotional journeys. Thank you so much Ariel, Bree, Devon and Eric for your presence and for sharing your gifts with us so genuinely. The authentic connection and breathwork sessions were so powerful and unbelievably meaningful. I felt deeply impacted and safe at the same time. Everything about this weekend felt well thought out and offered with much care for each person, and the human and non-human collective. What a wonderful journey this weekend has been! I will remember it for a very long time. So much gratitude I got to participate 💜”

“I leave this magical Embody weekend feeling so full of love, so nourished, so energized. Each and every individual brought so much love and good energy. The weekend was full of time to heal, connect and take care of ourselves on an individual and community level. I felt so connected to nature and the land. The beautiful trees and setting were just right. The facilitators held space and shared so much love. I really enjoyed the workshops and the breathwork was absolutely magnificent. It was my very first Embody event ,and I felt so welcomed, so loved so seen by each and every person there. The meals were prepared with so much love. We ate like queens and kings. Thank you Embody for an amazing retreat weekend. - Hannah E”

“I have been on a journey to find community of like minded individuals for over three years. What I found at Embody was a whole community of people who are bravely facing themselves. The Embody practitioners provide a safe haven to explore new tools and connection to ourselves, the earth and each other.”

“Embody Retreat was just what I needed. I came alone, yet I never felt alone. I found a sweet, supportive, and welcoming community full of kind and compassionate witnesses with whom I had the pleasure to make authentic connections. I felt safe. I felt embraced. I finally found my high-vibe soul tribe, and for that I am endlessly grateful. Thank you 🥰🙏🏼✨”

“My experience at Embody retreat was a mind and soul opening experience for me. I walked in and immediately knew I was with my tribe, though I knew no one before arrival. I left feeling known, seen and heard. I was able to fully express myself, move through some powerful emotions without the need to protect myself, for my tribe held me. I’m forever changed because of the work the Embody coordinators do. Their genuine commitment to community sharing healing is so appreciated and felt to the smallest detail. Thank you.”

“So grateful to have found the Embody retreats and I plan to join them as often as possible 💜✨ Thank you Ariel, Bree, Devon, Eric and Shawn for creating and offering these gifts! There is so much care and intention put into these retreats and as a participant I can say it is truly felt. Embody retreats offer a thoughtful and inviting container where we all, facilitators and participants, get to connect as fellow humans crossing paths. It is an expansive and humble space, where the “sacred silly” is just as welcome as the darkest depths of our journeys. Whenever I go I’m left feeling so seen, so rich from connection, and so grateful to be alive and in connection with other beings, place, and spirit ✨”
