ABOUT EMBIRIA


Embiria (em-bee-rhi-ah) means experience — experience life and everything it has to offer.
Not to escape your everyday, but to live beautifully in it.


Embiria is a Canadian, BIPOC woman-owned lifestyle brand created to inspire others to live beautifully, every day. We want people to make every day an experience — to enjoy slow and simple days, find more time for themselves, for the activities and the people they love. A life where deep connections are formed, ideally over shared meals, to those around them, and maybe even with themselves. 

Whether it’s through discovering the best of Palak’s curated collections of food, experiences, events and places, staying or creating at one of the Embiria spaces or shopping Palak's faves, join they journey in discovering a life lived to its fullest.

Palak Dave, founder of Embiria

Hi! I’m grateful that you’re here.

My “why” behind building Embiria begins at the age of 15 years old I experienced a sudden loss, and I was instantly faced with the reality of how precious and unpredictable life is. This shaped me to consciously create a life well lived, every day. As a result of my life experiences, I have a deep desire to enjoy memorable moments. I want to make my days beautiful, filling them with what I love — which for me includes slowing down to savour everyday experiences, sharing meals with friends, old and new, soaking in rich cultures around the world and finding ways to live more simply, every day. This is the life I want, a life that feels full.

After a decade of working in corporate marketing roles at companies including Indigo Books & Music Inc. and TIFF, I decided to start my own company built around my desire to inspire others to discover what living fully means to them. In April 2017, Embiria was born and I’ve now hosted over 250 in-person wellness and creative workshops and experiences. Embiria has one simple goal - to connect you to beautiful experiences that replace screen time with real time.

I want you to discover that creating your most beautiful life is possible. Rather than waiting for the big things (which are all wonderful too), a meaningful life can simply be created from the beautiful moments and experiences of your everyday. 

You’re invited to come along this journey to discovering what a life lived to its fullest can be - I’d love for you to connect with me on IG, subscribe to The Embiria Edition newsletter or write to me at palak@embiria.ca.

With love,

Palak Dave

Have a beautiful experience to share?

Tag @embiria on your posts when you pause to capture a moment of beauty in your own day — maybe that’s a lovely meal, a coffee with friends, time in the garden or simply curling up with a good book.
