OCTOBER 12-18, 2024

JOIN JESS LEBLANC OF EMBODIED LIVING AND THE TEAM OF RITUAL RETREATS ON A HEART OPENING JOURNEY IN CROATIA  WITH SPECIAL GUEST, LAURA DARCY 

Discover the breathtaking island of Brac in Croatia and join us on an inspiring journey of self-discovery, growth, and heartfelt connections. This serene haven, enveloped by mesmerizing landscapes and azure waters, sets the stage for an experience that allows you to be fully present with yourself, community and the natural world around you.

 

Picture yourself amidst the picturesque landscapes of Brac, an ideal backdrop for inner reflection and personal restoration. The island offers a tapestry of experiences, from uncovering hidden coves to marveling at the wonders of quaint villages and ancient olive groves, to indulging in some of the world's most splendid beaches and crystal-clear seas.

 

Engage in candid conversations, leadership workshops, and shared laughter, complemented by daily embodied movement classes that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. 

Within the enchanting embrace of Brac, this retreat is a sanctuary that emphasizes the significance of self-care. We deeply believe that investing in your well-being is not a luxury but an essential need, intentionally interwoven into excursions, rituals and the moment in between throughout this experience.

 

By choosing to say yes to this adventure, you're not only nurturing personal growth but becoming part of a vibrant community where friendships extend far beyond the retreat. This community offers mutual support and empowerment, nurturing the pursuit of dreams and a purposeful life.

 

This space is inclusive, tailored to accommodate diverse needs and levels, fostering a sense of belonging and cultivating a supportive environment within the community. Brac, with its captivating beauty and serene ambiance, becomes the canvas against which invaluable connections and personal transformations flourish.

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body,
but the shape of your life.
Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived.
Yoga doesn’t care about what you have been;
yoga cares about the person you are becoming.
Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose,
and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied.”
- Aadil Palkhivala, Fire of Love
