the embrace
The Embrace Retreat with Jessina O'Connell and Felicia Walker invites you to come together in a space of nourishment, flow, and connection. This is a sacred time to hold and be held, to move with intention, and to deepen your bond with yourself and others. Through yoga, shared experiences, and gentle presence, we will create a sanctuary for the heart, where you can fully embrace the beauty of being. Join us for this transformative journey of unity and renewal.
12.-19.09.2026
On Saturday the 12th of September we will start with a short practice to arrive and stretch out at around 5:00pm. The Retreat will start Sunday Morning after everyone has arrived.
We will close on Friday evening the 26th of September after our evening practices and our closing dinner. Saturday the 27th you are welcome to stay and enjoy the space until the journey home is calling.
You can expect Jivamukti Yoga Asana, gentle Pranayama, long Meditation, extended chanting, deep Yoga Nidra and soft Yin Yoga Practices and a Thai Yoga Massage Workshop with a special guest, and of course enough free time to enjoy the surrounding nature and beach.
