Y’all, in my wildest dreams I couldn’t have known the way this space would hold you and heal you. The intentions were planted and receiving your sweet reflections back is the gift that keeps on giving!! We’re a solid 5-star stay on Airbnb but my Memphis babes (and YOU if you’re reading this) can save by booking direct at the link in my bio. 😘 Thank you for sharing the space with all those you hold dear—I cannot thank y’all enough!

And will NEVER stop shouting out my girl @motherofmarigolds for her interior design magic.

Full Moon Circle: Release, Reflect & Reconnect

The full moon offers us a meaningful opportunity to pause—to step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and one another.

Join us for an intentional evening of reflection, mindful movement, and connection as we gather in community and create space to slow down. The full moon can serve as a natural reminder to reflect on what has been present in our lives, acknowledge what we may be carrying, and consider what we are ready to release or let go of.

Through gentle, mindful movement, breathwork, guided reflection, journaling, and meaningful group conversation, we’ll explore ways to become more grounded and connected to ourselves. This circle is an opportunity to tune into your inner experience, cultivate greater self-awareness, regulate and center your energy, and connect with others in a supportive and welcoming space.

You don’t need to have any experience with yoga, meditation, or moon rituals—just come as you are.

Together, we’ll pause, breathe, reflect, release, and reconnect.

During our time together, you can expect:

• Gentle mindful movement/yoga

• Breathwork and grounding practices

• Guided reflection and self-awareness practices

• Journaling

• Intentional group conversation and connection

• Space to reflect on what you’re ready to release and what you want to carry forward

Come exactly as you are and give yourself permission to slow down, reconnect, and simply be.

A space for reflection. A space for release. A space for connection. by @embodymemphis

This experience blends the profound inner journey of breathwork with the grounding and clearing vibrations of sacred close body, Reiki drumming, creating a container where the body can release tension, the mind can quiet, and the spirit can reconnect with its natural state of peace.

✨ What to Expect

Breathwork is a potent and powerful healing modality. Through conscious breathing, many people experience profound emotional and energetic shifts.

Breathwork can:

• Release stress and anxiety

• Help process grief and stored emotions

• Improve sleep and relaxation

• Act as a natural analgesic

• Open access to higher states of consciousness

• Quiet the mind and shift mental patterns

• Allow you to experience deep peace and clarity

During this journey:

Garre will first guide you through a relaxing meditation designed to bring awareness to your breath and body, while Bob brings the relaxing effects of the crystal sound bowls to life.

Participants will then move into approximately 30 minutes of guided breathwork, allowing the breath to open energetic pathways and support emotional and nervous system release.

As the breathwork unfolds, Bob will support the journey with Reiki drumming, helping to move and clear energy from the body while grounding the experience through sacred rhythm.

The evening will close with a guided visualization and an optional sharing circle for those who wish to reflect on their experience.This experience is designed to be safe, supportive, and deeply restorative.

How do you ground and reconnect? 🌿

When life gets busy, noisy, or overwhelming, grounding helps us return to ourselves. A walk in nature, a deep breath, bare feet on the earth, or a quiet moment can create the space to reconnect.

The way we show up for ourselves becomes the way we show up in our relationships. When we’re more present with ourselves, we can listen more deeply, communicate more honestly, and love more intentionally.

Relationships thrive when we keep returning to ourselves and choosing connection.

Join us for the Sacred Connections Couples Retreat • February 12–14 at Embody Memphis. A weekend to slow down, reconnect, play and remember what matters most.

✨ How do you ground and reconnect? Share below.
