Embrace the Moon, Hug the Tree is a memoir of travel, resilience, and coming home to the body

It is what happens when staying in the life you built feels harder than leaving.

In Embrace the Moon, Hug the Tree, Leia shares her personal story of traveling across foreign lands. The story takes place in Israel, Southeast Asia, Central America, China, and New Zealand. For many years, she unraveled emotionally, and then, with age, experience and wisdom, she rebuilt her life. She explores her heartbreaks, uncertainty, and the persistent feeling she felt of being untethered in so many unfamiliar places and cultures. Even though she appeared strong and capable on the outside.

Somewhere on her journey, Leia found the world of Tai Chi and Qigong. These ancient movements became a language for her emotions. Through the ritual of daily practice, she began to reconnect with her body, and she finds stability through a deeper awareness of self.

Written with honesty, Embrace the Moon, Hug the Tree is a memoir for women standing at a crossroads. For those who feel restless but don’t know why. For those who sense something needs to change, even if the next step isn’t yet visible.

Sometimes, change happens over time through the daily rituals and habits you cultivate. The intentional slow movements of Tai Chi and Qigong are where you can find stillness.
