4DAY NIKKI MAGIC BLOOM RETREAT
October 19-22, 2023
Bloom Holistic Retreat Centre
South Frontenac, Ontario
Join Nikki for a 4day Nikki Magic Bloom Retreat, designed to help you to deeply relax, unplug, heal, re-imagine possibility, be inspired to dream and connect to your magic.
Magic is our unconscious desire to alter our existing reality and expand beyond our current state to become a much grander expression of who we really are. Magic helps us believe that anything is possible - even the things that seem impossible or make no sense. Love can feel like that sometimes - impossible to explain & bigger than we every imagined possible.
This is how I feel about 'Retreats' - it is a place I find an immense amount of love, connected in sacred community, holding space for possibility and unveiling our true magic. It is also where I feel most magical to teach... to share, to dream and to inspire!
My wish is for you to come along and play magic with me...
I would love to snuggle, laugh, cry, draw oracle cards, tassle, pet furry cows (unfortunately don't have white ponies!) and walk in the woods together.
What do you say?
If it is a YES... a Whole Body YES... then say YES!
My ask: Do not wait until next time.
Trust me... I have created an incredible weekend.

UNPLUG
Quiet the Noise
During the retreat you will be invited to practice daily silence (don't worry there will be plenty of time to chat!) and unplug from the outside world. I cannot tell you how nourishing and life changing this practice can be.
I invite you all to set your 'Unplug' Intention before the retreat begins. If you live with others (spouse, kids, etc.), ensure you have a conversation before you leave for your retreat with them about why this retreat is important for you and that you are planning on disconnecting for the week. Creating clear conversations with our loved ones helps integrate our experience and supports our expectations.
In order for us to completely have the opportunity to nourish our mind/body and tune into our magical intuitive self we must first provide the space and then allow for to fully 'unplug' and get quiet. Practicing silence allows us to get grounded, when too many things around us are moving constantly. This is not always an easy practice but it is one that I promise you will allow your to understand how we numb ourselves with the daily noise/distraction that keeps us busy and away from our most true magical self. When we allow to get quiet and nourish our mind/body the creative being arrives and we tune into the present moment.
Loud noises over 30 decibels increase high anxiety, stress and blood pressure. Silence lowers blood pressure and allows us to deal with life’s challenges in a better way and helps boost our immune system lowering blood cortisol and adrenaline levels. Silence recharges our mind and allows us to get out of our survival and reactive mode of living and thinking. While sleep reboots the mind, silence recharges it and helps to calm the emotions down, detaching from the situation and make more informed decisions. When we allow the opportunity daily to disable our speech and our daily distractions to have an we begin to get a glimpse of our magic, heart centre listening and unveil our deepest dreams and ambitions - it's like revealing the sun behind the clouds. Calming our mind removes the thoughts (clouds), and the spirit; our Higher Self can then shine through.
