A One Day Full Moon Yoga, Meditation & Wellness Journey in the heart of Delray Beach - led by Jessica Om, Pedro Luna, Sumer Luna & Guest Erik LieuxAbout this event
This unique full-day retreat will be a fun & restorative immersion of mindfulness, yoga, healing arts, & ceremony. The experience will include 4 world class facilitators, 2 yoga classes (morning indoors/evening full moon on the beach,) breathwork, sound healing, guided journaling, a healthy lunch, mindfulness exercises, meditation, Thai-yoga massage, cacao ceremony & more. The retreat will begin at the Hyatt Place in downtown Delray Beach, and will finish off with a Full Moon Beach Yoga practice & community gathering.
The full moon is the time for release and renewal. We will make space through our practices and reflections to gain clarity on all that we are releasing and inviting into our lives.
The retreat will kick off with morning Breath work, Yoga, and an Immersive Sound Healing Experience to awaken ourselves from the inside out. After a healing sound journey we will take time to reflect and dive into some Guided Journaling. There will be time for reflection and connection after this morning session that will lead us into a delicious privately catered lunch from a local restaurant.
After lunch we will move into a guided Mindfulness Experience that will help us further drop into presence & awareness. Participants will be guided into a series of mindfulness meditations that include a body scan, mindful walking and an interpersonal mindfulness exercise that will connect you deeper with fellow community members.
After some more time for journaling and reflection we will move into a partner Vedic Thai-Yoga experience. Thai-Yoga (also known as "lazy man's yoga) is an ancient healing art said to be practiced on the buddha. This therapeutic practice consists of a combination of conscious breath, assisted stretching & rhythmic compressions which target the meridians of the body, providing both the giver & receiver of this therapeutic art with deep restoration, a calm-renewed energy, improved physical mobility, and an overall sense of well-being. No partner required, but welcome.
To finish off our afternoon session we will open our hearts further with a beautiful Cacao Ceremony. Theobroma Cacao literally translating into “Food of the Gods” has been consumed as a sacred plant offering by indigenous cultures for centuries. When cacao made its way to the Europeans it was turned into a popular edible confection we now know as chocolate, losing much of the traditional honoring of the plant & its medicinal qualities. Cacao ceremonies bring awareness & intention into the consumption of the sacred plant, keeping the indigenous traditions alive while also getting to enjoy the many benefits of this delicious food of the Gods. We will be featuring Shamanic Tonic’s special ceremonial blend- handcrafted from scratch with raw Peruvian cacao, infused with prayer and a long list of healing superfoods.
At 5:30pm we will wrap up our day at the Hyatt and head to the beach for the climax of our experience at Full Moon Beach Yoga!
This one day retreat will leave you feeling grounded, centered, inspired, and ready for all the amazing things that are coming your way.
