Self-portrait on Retreatment with THE CLASS | JUNE 2019
 

Sēfari is elemental meditation -- an artful & immersive practice held by water & guided by sound. This ritual has come to me slowly, over the years in the most curious and unexpected ways. It has supported me along my journey, in seeking out what it means to live deeper into my body and its incredible mystery.

In water, we become the wisdom of our environment, because we are able to move as one body — we can and do absorb the space we occupy. Ultimately, Sēfari exists to guide and move you towards wholeness, connecting to states of illuminated awe and wonder. Together, we become instruments of light as we ride the waves of change, remembering our true nature.

This is my life’s work, a dream made manifest. It brings me great joy to be here with you sharing this practice and like nature it is always moving and evolving itself. So if you have a suggestion or want to ask me something personally, feel free to reach me directly at jobi@iamsefari.com.


founder bio —

Jobi Manson is a visual artist & sculptor working in the mediums of water, light, sound, & stone. Her curiosities have led her deep into the dimensions that exist beyond language — straight into the heart of matter, time, & the space between. Fluidity, as the unifying force of her wildest inspiration, Jobi's work plays with the subtle intricacies of human connection, mapping invisible landscapes, & exploring new ways to attune and translate phenomena of the natural world. After suffering temporary paralysis from a near death encounter, breaking her neck during an ocean swim, Jobi became fascinated with the power of regeneration & deep sensory awareness.

In 2015, Jobi birthed Sēfari, a platform for simple & elemental experiences that merge science, nature, and art in the pursuit of psychosomatic evolution. Jobi’s practice helps people return to their truest essence — using water x sound, participants sink into the unknown and merge with the dynamic range of their depth & potential. Sēfari partnerships have included In Goop Health, The Class by Taryn Toomey, Refinery 29, Soho House, among others. She is in private practice in Malibu, California.


to become like water,

is to reflect the beauty

that abounds us


by pouring out

into space

that which moves you

from within


be the blessing

& bend

with the light.

soothe something — will you?
