EMBRACE - The Art of Touch: Meditation · Cacao · Rebozo

About this event

Meditation · Cacao · Rebozo
A candlelit Autumn Evening of Gentle Care, Connection & Deep Rest

As autumn arrives and the days begin to slow down, we invite you to pause.

To step away from the pace of everyday life, soften into the evening and make space for yourself.

EMBRACE is a gentle, candlelit evening devoted to care, connection and the art of receiving.

We begin with ceremonial cacao, guided meditation and gentle movement — creating a gradual transition from doing into being, from the outward pace of the day into a quieter, more receptive state.

At the heart of the evening is the practice of Rebozo — a ritual of closing and completion, offering a moment to integrate the summer that has passed and consciously turn towards the inward season ahead.

Using a traditional woven shawl, Rebozo combines elements of bodywork, massage and touch through gentle rocking, wrapping, holding and movement. It is often described as a full-body embrace.

In pairs, we take turns giving and receiving through a guided practice — exploring touch as a language of care and connection.

A practice of slowing down.
A ritual of closing.
A moment to integrate and receive.

The evening is an invitation into Yin energy — softness, stillness, receptivity and rest.

A space for the body to slow down.
For the mind to become quieter.
For the nervous system to settle.
For connection to arise without needing to be forced.

Especially created for humans with busy schedules, many responsibilities and a tendency to care for others before themselves — who are longing for a moment of deep rest.

This evening asks nothing from you.

Come as you are.

Move gently.
Breathe.
Touch.
Receive.
Rest.

Let yourself be held by the warmth of the room, the rhythm of the practice and the presence of another person.

An evening to remember that care is not only something we give.
It is also something we can allow ourselves to receive.

The Art of Touch

To touch through sight.
To touch through words.
To touch through being seen.
To touch through presence.
To touch through the hands.

Because touch is not only physical.

We touch and are touched by how we look at one another,
how we listen,
how we witness,
how we hold space,
and how we allow ourselves to be held.
