Stories of Awakening from Nissa Retreats

Nissa Retreat at Broughton Sanctuary

Before she arrived at Broughton Sanctuary, one guest said she felt like she had fallen off her path. Life had become noisy, full of distractions and self-doubt. But by the time she left, she said something had shifted and she felt back on the path again.

That’s what the Awaken Your Wisdom Within retreat does. It helps you reconnect with the quiet knowing that’s always been there, your intuition. The same intuitive intelligence that Dr. Tara Swart describes in her book Signs,  that subtle signal guiding us toward alignment when we’re willing to listen.

At Nissa Retreats, intuition isn’t something mystical. It’s the natural wisdom that lives in every one of us,  the gut feeling we’ve learned to ignore, and the inner voice waiting to be heard again.

A Return to Inner Knowing

For one guest, this meant finally trusting that gut feeling. “Intuition is that inner sense we all have,” she explained. “It’s not magic,  it’s just that we don’t listen.”

Another came to the retreat hoping to expand her understanding of psychic and mediumship practices and to learn how intuition and energy awareness could open new doors. “I wanted to broaden my horizons,” she said. “To see what else was possible. And a whole new world opened up,  one I didn’t even know existed.”

These moments of awakening, of remembering, are what make every retreat unique. Each guest arrives with their own question. Each one leaves with their own answer.

Finding Connection Beyond the Visible

One participant shared that he came seeking a way to communicate with loved ones who had passed. What he found wasn’t just connection beyond the physical ,  it was confidence in his own ability to sense, receive, and trust what he feels.

That’s the deeper work of Nissa Retreats. These six days are about learning to attune to your energy, your emotions, and the world around you and  guided by the intuition you’ve always had.
