Heart Space - A 4 Day Self Compassion Retreat

Wednesday February 5th -
Saturday February 8th, 2025

“Self-compassion is not a cop-out when life gets hard. It’s a way to navigate the human struggle gracefully and acknowledge who we are so we can be our best.” - Massimo Backus

This Retreat Is For You If...

Your Inner Critic Currently Runs The Show...

Affecting your sense of self confidence, self trust, and decision making ability.

You Don't Feel Secure & Safe In Your Body...

You're used to living in freeze or flight mode - constantly 'ON' and unable to slow down.

You Are Longing For A Moment Of Peace...

In your mind, body and soul. A chance to reconnect with your intuition & spirit.

In a world where we can fall so easily into the trap of comparison and self criticism, it can be hard to anchor ourselves into the loving acceptance of our humanness.

Join Nikki for a 4 day retreat experience as you deepen your own understanding of what self compassion truly means - walking away with a newfound sense of acceptance, confidence, self regulation, and a broader perspective of self and others, to help you navigate life's ups and downs.

Located in the serene sanctuary of Basundari Retreat Center in Ubud, retreat guests can expect a nurturing and nourishing retreat experience which addresses mind, body and soul against the backdrop of the Balinese jungle. Immerse yourself in self discovery and educational workshops, daily yoga & meditation classes, cultural experiences, and holistic healing whilst connecting with like-minded individuals who are invested in their own rejuvenation and self development.
