How One Retreat Guest Found Her Confidence, Community, and Calling
When you feel called to a Nissa retreat, without knowing exactly why, it’s often your intuition leading the way.
That’s exactly what happened to one guest at our Nissa Retreat in Costa Rica. She arrived feeling a quiet nudge to explore her intuitive side more deeply and left with something far greater: a renewed sense of faith in her own abilities, deep personal insight, and a community of kindred spirits who saw her for who she truly was.
“Everyone there felt drawn to be part of it. We weren’t just participants, we were a circle of people on a shared path. We were all growing, practicing, and learning side by side. It felt like we were meant to be there, together.”
It was a transformational, immersive experience for people ready to activate their psychic and mediumship gifts, guided by Heidi Jaffe, a certified master who has conducted over 17,000 readings and devoted her life to helping others awaken their intuitive power with skill, integrity, and deep experience.
A Real Approach to Psychic Development
Heidi Jaffe, the founder and lead teacher at Nissa Retreats, creates a unique space for psychic discovery. She combines grounded teachings with intuitive practice to help people access what’s already within them.
“Heidi made everyone feel completely grounded and connected to their own truth,” the guest shared. “There was no hierarchy, no sense of ‘some people are born special and others aren’t.’ We all felt like our gifts were valid. That they belonged to us.”
At the heart of the retreat is a belief that psychic abilities aren’t rare or exclusive. They’re human. And they’re yours to explore, with the right tools, guidance, and community.
Practicing in Safe Space: How Confidence Is Built
One of the most powerful elements of the retreat? Practice.
Whether it was through 1:1 readings, group exercises, or skill-deepening workshops, guests were given full access to their growth with no pressure, just encouragement.
“Heidi gave us space to actually step into it. I learned how to protect my energy, how powerful it actually is, and how important it is to hold my boundaries. That changed everything.”
The workshops provided practical frameworks for spiritual development: from breathwork and aura reading to energy shielding and mediumship accuracy. And because the environment was so supportive, guests felt free to try, to be vulnerable, and to trust their instincts.
“I walked away knowing this gift isn’t just for certain people. It’s for anyone willing to explore it. That gave me the faith and courage to keep going.”
A Circle That Stays With You
The connection formed at the Costa Rica retreat wasn’t just fleeting. It was lasting. Guests stayed in touch, encouraged each other, and continued to grow, even after returning home.
That’s the power of the Nissa Retreat experience. It’s not a one-off spiritual escape. It’s the beginning of a lifelong reconnection with your intuition, your energy, and your voice.
