Essence LA

Essence was born from a deeply personal place. During a year of reserve duty in the war, I felt the absence of something essential -real, deep, soul-level connection with women. That longing became a mission.

Today, Essence is a global initiative creating curated spaces for authentic connection - moving women beyond small talk into shared experiences and soulful exploration. From London to NYC & Miami, Lisbon to Tel Aviv, and now LA, we a are a global tribe.

We are beyond excited to invite you to an evening of deep connection, empowering dialogue, and feminine energy - in the heart of Los Angeles.

🍷 Connect with inspiring women over a glass of wine in an intimate, feminine atmosphere

🌿 Feast on a stunning vegetarian table, thoughtfully curated and crafted by Olga Waknin .

🌸 Join a live healing workshop with Rachel Madar release, rebalance & reconnect to your feminine energy

✨ Walk away with practical tools, a lighter heart & new meaningful connections

We’re honored to partner with Rachel Madar - mindset trainer, international speaker, and author of Whispers to the Light. As founder of IDRA Wellness, Rachel brings 25+ years of experience in Kabbalah, CBT, and the 72 Names of God, guiding women through healing, growth, and soul connection.

This event promises to be a deep and experiential evening, where women from various fields will come together to connect, share wisdom, and create meaningful collaborations.

Our Chef : Olga Waknin is an international chef and luxury hospitality professional based in Los Angeles, and co-founder of OAV Exclusive Production & Libi’s Kitchen.
