The Wild Embrace: A Journey to Vitality

Have you ever held the wind? Or been held by the wind? There is a vitality in all life that is ancient, intuitive, and always accessible. This energy, like the wind, formless yet moving in all directions, creates and sustains life. The body is the doorway through which to meet this energy of being. It is alive inside us, ever-changing, and knows its way around.  

Come home to your body to reconnect, remember, and reclaim this vitality. Embrace the knowledge that our lives are much more than a linear unfolding of accomplishments; life is an extension of nature, and our well-being blossoms when we realign with the rhythm of this ancient life force.

During our week together, we’ll slow down and move through an alchemical combination of practices to soothe the senses, quiet the mind, balance the nervous system, and become fully embodied.  

Our practices will include:

• Conscious dance and gentle yoga practice
• Crystal bowl sound healing
• Ceremonial offerings to the land
• Contemplation in nature

Let the beauty of this sacred land and the power of community restore your strength and deepen your experience of interconnectedness with everything and everyone. We are not alone. Embrace the awe and wonder of being alive so that you may return home rejuvenated and inspired to continue walking your unique life path.

Note: Please bring a journal. Jovinna invites you to detox from or minimize the use of all electronics during your stay at Esalen.

This workshop includes an additional $55 in faculty tuition.
