embracing
Wrapping arms around
Embracing is the act of holding someone in your arms, typically as a sign of affection or greeting.
More often, embracing describes accepting or adopting something willingly: embracing change, embracing new technology, embracing uncertainty.
The figurative sense suggests welcoming rather than resisting: The company is embracing remote work.
