Soul Embrace: A Guided Experience of Rest, Regulation, and Return at CenterPeace
2026-07-16 19:00 | CenterPeace, 33750 Freedom Road, Farmington, MI, 48335
Tickets: $55.00
This gathering is for those who feel the pull to slow down.
Not because something is wrong, but because something within is asking for rest, gentleness, and deeper listening.
Soul Embrace is a gentle, embodied experience designed to support deep rest, nervous system regulation, and reconnection with self. Through a blend of somatic awareness, guided meditation, sound, and mindful presence, you are invited to soften out of effort and return to what feels steady, grounded, and true within you.
This experience is not about fixing, striving, or performing.
It is an invitation to listen, to feel, and to allow the body and breath to lead the way home.
🌙 Within a calm, attuned, and supportive space, the evening flows through grounding practices that guide the nervous system into safety and ease. Gentle somatic awareness, guided meditation, and subtle sound elements work together to create an environment where your system can finally exhale.
Rather than pushing toward change, Soul Embrace creates space for what naturally wants to shift. This is a space where nothing is demanded of you. Everything you bring is welcome.
🌙 What to Expect
• Settle the nervous system and release accumulated stress
• Reconnect with the body through choice, curiosity, and presence
• Experience rest that is both restorative and integrating
• Leave feeling grounded, resourced, and gently renewed
This offering is especially supportive for those navigating stress, transition, emotional fatigue, or simply longing for a place to land.
🌙 Soul Embrace is co-facilitated by Rev. Loren Griffin and Suzzanne Suleiman, MS, LLP, whose combined work bridges somatic practice, nervous system awareness, and spiritual integration. Together, they create a compassionate, respectful container that honors the intelligence of the body, the wisdom of lived experience, and the human need for safety, rest, and connection.
Nothing is demanded of you here.
Everything you bring is welcome.
🌙 Doors open at 6:15 p.m. ET. Please arrive a bit early to get settled.
