TESTIMONIALS
Something in the description of the retreat resonated with me and I just decided to book ik, didn’t give it
much thought. And I really felt that I needed a change from daily life.
I came back feeling like a new person. Balanced, calm, healthy. And two weeks later today, I am still practicing yoga on a daily basis, at home. I now have the tools and confidence to do this for myself.
The circles were so amazing. From the first sharing circle on the first night onwards, everyone was extremely open and nice, no guards, no masks, just their true selves. This is what Nic and the team manage to achieve, it is such a great experience and gave me back trust. I now again believe that people are good by nature. Emmelie, September 2023
I wanted to make some life decisions and have a chance to reconnect with myself.
It had such a great mix of things - beautiful yoga practice, chanting, spiritual elements, periods of silence, and amazing nutritious food. It was also in such incredible surroundings so it felt like you were really tucked away and able to connect with nature. I had a chance to have a digi detox and it allowed me to really slow down and sit with myself and my own thoughts. It brought me so much calm and peace. Nic and her team are amazing. She’s such a beautiful soul and she creates such a beautiful, supportive, caring experience. I’d love to go to another one of her retreats. Sarah Jane, April 2023
