You Can Feel Yourself Between Two Worlds
The hyper-driven, achievement-oriented version of you got you here. That version was extraordinary at what it did.
And now, something is shifting. You can feel it.
The old way, making every decision from your head, your calendar, your willpower, is no longer working the way it used to.
Not because you failed. Because you've outgrown it.
What's pulling you forward is something different.
Spirit-based. Body-led. Pleasure-induced. Science-backed.
You just haven't had a container designed for that kind of transition.
This weekend is exactly that.
This Is a Return to Yourself
Part ceremony. Part slumber party. Deeply transformative.
This is not quiet, polite growth.
This is pleasure, play, and truth - fully expressed.
A 3-day, deposit secured, application-only immersive experience combining guided ceremony, integration, and embodied practice.
What You'll Experience:
-
Your Own Private World
Two days. Three nights. A private estate in upstate New York where the only thing on your agenda is you.
-
A Medicine Ceremony
Guided ceremony work with mycelial intelligence. This is the heart of the weekend, held with the highest care, safety, and reverence.
-
Laser Coaching with Emily
This is not just witnessing and processing. Every participant receives direct, focused hot seat coaching from Emily, the kind of clarity that used to take months to arrive.
-
True Community
10–13 people who see your real story, not your highlight reel. The kind of connection that doesn't end when the weekend does.
-
Wild Nature
Lake, sauna, and cold plunge woven into your days. The land holds you while the work moves through you.
-
Integration & Coaching
Everyone is witnessed and coached. You leave with real insights, a clear direction, and the support to act on it.
The Science Behind the Shift
The nervous system that got you here runs on cortisol, pressure, and performance.
That same system cannot access what's next for you.
Stress narrows perception.
It makes the next right move invisible, no matter how hard you push.
What opens it back up is not more effort.
It opens through pleasure, play, safety, and truth.
When your body feels safe, your intuition gets loud.
This is not a retreat from your life.
It is the recalibration that makes the rest of it possible.
Inside the Container - A Sample Itinerary
-
Friday | Arrival & Opening
You arrive. You exhale.
The estate receives you.
Lake. Sauna. Cold plunge.
Space to land.
That evening we open the container together.
Meditation. Intention. Honest conversation.
The kind of honest conversation that only happens when high-achievers stop performing for each other. -
Saturday | The Ceremony
The heart of the weekend.
We work with mycelial intelligence in a guided medicine ceremony held with deep care, safety, and reverence.
For those who know, you know.
Raging in the woods. Skinny dipping under the stars. Dancing without inhibition. Singing. Letting go of things you've been carrying in your body for years.
This is where something structural shifts. -
Sunday | Integration & Witnessing
Every person is seen. Every person is supported.
We go around the circle. Each participant receives focused hot seat coaching from Emily directly - not just witnessed by the group, but laser coached. This is where insight becomes direction, and where the people you just met become the ones who know your real story.
Sunday is where something structural lands. But the weekend isn't over yet. -
Monday | Closing Integration Breakfast
Plus Optional 1:1 with Emily
Monday morning is where it all settles in.
We gather one last time over an integration breakfast — a chance to land everything that moved through you, share what you're taking home, and say a real goodbye to the people who now know your real story.
For those who want to go deeper, three 1:1 sessions with Emily are available before you head home. This is your chance to take what arrived in ceremony and turn it into a clear, embodied next step — with Emily's full attention on you alone.
Integration breakfast included for all participants. 1:1 sessions limited to 3 spots.
This Is the Moment Everything Changes
There is a version of you on the other side of this. More honest. More expressed. More at peace with what is true.
You do not get there by thinking harder.
This is a highly curated container. If it’s a yes, you’ll be invited in.
What Awaits You
Where transformation is catalyzed through pleasure, play, and prayer.
✦ Hot seat coaching with Emily. Direct, focused, transformative.
✦ Sauna. Cold plunge. Lake swimming. Paddle boarding. Hiking in the woods.
✦ Dancing. Singing. Raging. Pleasure Prayer. Slumber party energy.
✦ Organic meals. Fire circles. Real laughter. The kind of softness that only comes after something true has been said out loud.
Each participant receives focused time - witnessed, supported, and coached - so that what happens in ceremony becomes a clear direction forward.
This is not a schedule of activities. It is a full-body recalibration
Who This Is For
You are done making every decision with your head.
You can feel the shift happening. From hyper-driven and achievement-focused into something more honest, more embodied, more alive. You may not have a word for it yet. You just know the old way is no longer working.
You are curious about medicine work, or you already know its power.
You are not here for more information. You are ready for an experience that changes something fundamental.
This is not for you if you want a passive or surface-level weekend. This retreat will ask something real of you, and give you something real in return.
It is normal to feel both drawn to this and nervous about it. That often means you are standing at an edge worth exploring.
The Magic You Take Home
There are retreats that feel significant for two weeks and then fade.
This is not that.
The medicine ceremony and laser coaching woven through this container are designed to work together - one opens you, the other gives you direction. What you leave with translates into your Q3 decisions, your marriage, your capacity for pleasure on an ordinary Tuesday.
This is not magic as metaphor. This is what becomes available when the nervous system is no longer in a permanent state of defense.
What people consistently report after this kind of work:
-
Decisions Become Clear
The ones that used to require weeks of analysis arrive with ease. You stop second-guessing and start trusting.
-
Relationships Shift
When the performance layer drops, the people closest to you feel it. Partners, children, colleagues, the dynamic changes because you do.
-
Your Body Becomes an Ally
Instead of something to manage, push through, or override. You start listening to it, and it starts guiding you.
-
Appetite Returns
For food, for pleasure, for beauty, for the parts of life that got quietly shelved somewhere between building the career and holding it all together.
-
Business Opens Up
Financial and creative opportunities that logic alone couldn't engineer. What becomes available when you stop leading from fear is often surprising.
-
The Ordinary Changes
Not just the big moments. Your capacity for pleasure on a regular Tuesday. The way you move through a hard conversation. The quality of a quiet morning.
Hi, I'm Emily
You are not here by accident.
Something in you is seeking something deeper. That whisper is something I know well.
I’ve lived many lives in one body, starting with a decade on Broadway where performing eight shows a week left me stressed, sleepless, and running on fumes.
Discovering meditation changed everything. I left the stage, trained in India for three years, and never looked back.
Since then, I’ve taught over 50,000 people the Ziva Technique and developed Ziva Magic, an embodied manifesting practice that blends visualization, Emotional Alchemy, somatic movement, breathwork, and Pleasure Prayer.
This weekend is the most intimate container I've ever held - medicine, laser coaching, ceremony, integration and witnessed truth-telling all in one room.
I designed this for the version of me that used to be. If you're reading this, this was designed for you, too.
Trust the part of you that brought you this far.

Vylana Marcus
Sound Healer
“After my private with Emily I am relating to everything differently. I am better equipped to handle things that would’ve had me spiraling into stress in the past. Now, I’m more grounded and am in such a state of flow.
Since our private, when things are chaotic or stressful, I feel calm and am able to adapt. My old perfectionism is falling away and making space for the real me to shine. I gave 2 important talks and I felt so grounded and able to connect with the audience in a new way. She is spiritual balm for my soul."

Vuja Deus
Speaker & Facilitator
"Emily is not just a speaker — she's a transmission. As someone who's been in this space for decades, it's rare that I feel fully impressed and connected to a speaker. Emily has a profound ability to penetrate the field and deliver exactly what's needed for true transformation. Her genius and embodiment are consistent across the board. She's on the leading edge, bridging people from getting started to becoming their own master."
-
Lisa Nichols
Motivational Speaker
“Emily will powerfully move you with her grace, certainty, feminine power, and expertise. She has the ability to captivate a room. She was critical in grounding me, centering me, and allowing me to catch my breath and keep my breath during my one woman show on Broadway like no one else could during that time."
The Setting
Note: This is an example from the past VIP Retreat, the setting is subject to change for future retreats.
Two private properties in upstate New York, minutes apart. Emily's personal residence and a nearby private estate - both held within the same container, the same care, and the same experience.
-
-
Lake. Sauna. Cold plunge. Pool. Room to move, breathe, and come undone.
Organic meals throughout. Spaces designed for real conversation.
The setting does half the work before anything begins.
Location details shared upon acceptance. Travel not included.

FAQ

- How is safety handled during the ceremony?
All ceremonial work is facilitated by Emily and an experienced co-facilitator with extensive experience holding this kind of space. The container is designed with thorough screening, experienced support, and deep respect for safety, consent, and integration. You will not be left alone in this.
- Do I need to have completed Ziva Online or Ziva Magic to apply?
Priority access is given to those who have completed Ziva Online and Ziva Magic. That said, we welcome applications from those who haven’t — if accepted and you haven’t completed the prerequisites yet, we’ll take care of you. Consider it handled.
- What’s included & not included?
Two days and three nights at a private estate in upstate New York. Shared rooms. All meals, ceremony, integration, group coaching, and witnessing are included. Lake, sauna, cold plunge, and pool access are woven into your days. Travel to the estate is not included.
- How many people will be there?
This is an intentionally intimate gathering of 10–15 people, selected by application. The size is by design — depth requires proximity.
- What if I feel nervous about applying?
That’s normal. It often means you’re standing at an edge worth exploring. The application exists so that by the time you arrive, you know you belong there — and we know we can fully support you. Nervousness and readiness often feel identical from the inside.
