Irina Devi, founder of Fragrant Wellness, is hosting the Fall Into Your Heart women’s retreat from August 16 through 18, 2024, at The Center at Mariandale, in Ossining. This annual event aims to help participants open their hearts to manifest their desires with love and grace. Two-night accommodations (a single air conditioned, private room with shared bath) and delicious vegetarian meals are included.

“Come join our group of amazing heart-centered women for spiritual immersion, community, nature, yoga, movement, meditation and joy,” suggests Devi. “This retreat will support you with creating meaningful shifts in your life; healing emotions; unlearning limiting beliefs; letting go of what no longer is true to you, be it a job, a relationship or a place to live; achieving success; or manifesting a soul mate.”

Highlights include morning yoga; a sacred cacao ceremony and fire ceremony; transformational and supportive women’s circles; guided meditations and visualizations; somatic embodiment practices and more. Mariandale, a scenic retreat venue with expansive grounds overlooking the Hudson River, offers 61 acres to wander for reflection and relaxation. There will be plenty of free time to explore the center’s nature trail, butterfly garden, Healing Hut, labyrinth and Bee Yard.
