The Art of Presence: A Day Retreat in Malibu
About this Event
A one-day retreat in the Santa Monica Mountains designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your body and breath, and spend a day deeply nourished by Nature, creativity, community, and intentional practices.
Join Marguerite of Resonating Earth and Jeremy Strubel, Breathwork Facilitator & Conscious Chef, at the beautiful AWA’Y in Malibu for an intimate day of mindful movement, herbal tea, breathwork, creativity, nourishing organic food, and sound.
Everything we surround ourselves with—what we eat and drink, listen to, see, feel, and think—contributes to how we experience and nourish ourselves.
The Art of Presence is an invitation to step away from the noise and spend a day being intentional about what you take in. Through embodied movement, plant wisdom, breath, creativity, sound, and shared nourishment, we'll create space to slow down, soften, and reconnect with ourselves and the natural world.
THE DAY
Somatic Movement
We'll begin with gentle, intuitive movement outdoors, inviting you to reconnect with your body's natural rhythms, release tension, and arrive fully in the present moment.
Herbal Tea Ceremony
Marguerite will guide you through a sensory herbal tea ceremony featuring Damiana, Linden, and Blue Lotus. Each plant will be experienced individually alongside music, mindfulness, self-inquiry, and education about the plants themselves. The ceremony offers a chance to slow down and attune to the subtle intelligence of the plants.
Breathwork Journey
Jeremy will lead a guided breathwork journey designed to bring awareness into the body, create space for release, and support greater clarity, presence, and connection—always honoring your own pace and experience.
Wild Plant Solar Printing
Using wild-foraged plants and solar paper, you'll create your own botanical prints. This creative practice invites you to slow down, work with the natural world, and simply play.
Create Your Own Herbal Tea Blends
You'll have the opportunity to create personalized caffeine-free herbal tea blends, exploring your intuition and intention as you choose plants that reflect what you're seeking or wishing to support within yourself or others.
Organic Lunch & Light Bites
We'll share a nourishing organic lunch and light bites throughout the day, thoughtfully prepared by Jeremy to support and sustain you.
Sound Bath
We'll close the day with a special sound bath led by Lotem Polat, creating space for deep rest, integration, and stillness.
During free time, Lotem will also offer optional donation-based Reiki treatments for anyone who would like to receive some extra care and support.
