A friend and I attended this personalized retreat with Nikki and really enjoyed the experience. I was able to tailor the yoga, meditation, and other retreat sessions to my needs and preferences, and I also appreciated Nikki's feedback and insights before and during the retreat, such as suggesting the medicine walk, art activity, and other adjustments to the retreat depending on the variable weather or what seemed most helpful and healing as the days progressed. Nikki's energy work/massage was also really transformative and she has a real gift and intuition in this work. With the space, time, and tools to reflect, and with Nikki's loving guidance, I left the retreat feeling rested, recharged, and inspired.

The retreat's remote, peaceful location surrounded by nature and Maria's hospitality and warmth in the accommodations and meals are very special aspects and beautifully complemented the entire experience.

One of the most worthwhile experiences of my life, my time with Nikki was nothing short of transformative. Nikki has an unbelievable gift of healing that she shares with unending generosity. She curated our time together with loving precision according to my needs and then kindly adjusted things as necessary. The location is a lovely stage for deep relaxation and contemplation, so natural and powerful. Maria creates beautiful meals served in her charming kitchen or outside under the carob tree in a bucolic setting whilst kindly offering your journey her own wisdom and comfort. At all times, I felt held in loving kindness in a way I will never forget. If you are looking for deep, personal insight and renewed inner strength, this is your answer. I can’t wait to go back!

I just feel gratitude for having found Nikki, who came to me through a personal recommendation. I was in a the middle of a crisis, and I needed time to work it out. This was such a great opportunity to immerse myself into looking for resolutions, which I did. Nikki's process led down avenues that I had not considered and gave me the space to find these answers I needed. Nikki guided me and supported me; all her processes were new to me from sand readings and medicine walks. The whole experience lifted me up, learning how to forgive and act from a place of love. I really didn't know what to expect. This is the start of a new chapter in my Life. Thank You. Let's hope it lasts

It was so full of everything I needed. I want to go back. Nikki is awesome and Maria cooks amazing. WOW just wow.

I'll start with the end: These very few but intense days (4 nights) were literally life-changing! I had been sceptical before arriving if this would really be the right thing for me who has not really practiced yoga, meditation or anything like that before. But I did need some space for myself to make a reset, to destress, reflect, refocus, recharge my batteries and refresh. I didn't have that many expectations for these very few days only. But Nikki together with María (the lovely owner of the place) made impossible things possible. I already felt embraced by Nikki after she responded to my booking request, followed by a very professional preparation with a questionnaire and then heart-warming welcoming, together with María. Nikki could feel me and knew what would be the right thing for me. At the same time encouraging me to trust my own senses what would be best for me and going with the flow. She designed the perfect programme for me and with each session I felt lighter, refreshed, stronger, so much more confident inside-out, blossoming again after some quite intense years in my life. This was and is the perfect spot with the best guide I could not even imagine and it exceeded my expectations by far. Not to forget the beautiful landscape, María's amazing hospitality and art of cooking! Her food is just *OMG*. Never ever in my life had I been so present, so mindful. I also stayed offline all days and I recommend you to do the same. Thank u so much, Nikki & María <3 <3 <3

El enclave del sitio

Where to start! The stunning location, nature all around, the very mystical, special and spiritual mountains and surroundings, everything about the Spanish house where you stay and the grounds surrounding has something tangibly special about it, you feel a very strong energy and an instant calm. Maria the host was so welcoming, like mother earth personified, she looks after you and cooks the most delicious rustic vegetarian food, while telling you stories of wisdom and history. You can find time alone in nature to contemplate and meditate or sit with her and the animals and nourish your soul.

Then there are the sessions with Nikki, she is just absolutely a higher being! You feel almost in awe when you meet, and know instantly how special she is, she instantly knew what I needed to gain from the experience without me even telling her, she has an air of stoicism without being harsh, she welcomes you in to her space and heals you from the inside out. My time with her following dance and yoga flow, talking about my medicine walk experience and understanding the signs which she deciphers through spirit, will never be forgotten. I only wish I had more time to learn more from her!

Nikki’s retreat offered a safe, magical realm for self-discovery. I left feeling nourished and restored, ready to re-enter the world armed with a brand new tool box. The surrounding wilderness offers its own unique power to accompany your journey here. Together with the stunning lodgings and wholesome food, this retreat really is something incredibly special. Thank you Nikki and Maria for your love and guidance!

I loved how authentic everything about this retreat was . The idyllic location , the peacefulness , the most stunning aspects of nature, the wholesome food, the people and primarily the facilitator Nikki who brought it all together with meaningful yoga practice, mindfulness and meditation

The retreat was amazing - just what I needed. One on one sessions, designed to fit my needs. The accommodation was fantastic - beautiful, fresh, excellent food. It was a magical experience. Definitely recommend it, especially if you can extend it for a few days to enjoy the magnificent Sierra.

No sabría describir qué fue lo mejor. Si fuese egoísta diría que no fuesen, pero no es eso lo que allí aprendí.

Es una experiencia fabulosa. Gracias Nikki, gracias Maria.

Words are not enough to express the gratitude and joy for the profound unique experience with Nikki in an enchanting valley hugged by mountains. I was ’held’ and nourished by warmth wisdom & understanding. I feel reawakened, grounded and have found new focus with equilibrium in my connection to Mother Earth. I have learnt so much from Nikki & will embrace her guidance, knowledge, creativity and insights and take these into my own practice & life. Newly centred I am ready for my next adventure on the path I discovered with Nikki and with her support.

I would also like to thank everyone else I encountered in the haven created by Maria, especially the incredible food and occasional company. I hope in my heart that the conversation continues. Apart from the many things that resonated with me to numerous to mention here, I will always remember ‘Practice is a gift to ourselves’ NSW. Ps I have already recommended this retreat to my friends...
