Programme

You are not your thoughts.

You are not your emotions.

You are not who you think you are.

 

So who are you?

Join our life-changing Retreat with 14 likeminded people all seeking the truth about themselves. 


Remember who you are

The world is your oyster yet sometimes you still play small, stuck, crippled by fear, guilt, shame, analysis paralysis and you walk around like the world is weighing heavily on your shoulders.

You’re sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Testimonials

Nis promised a unique experience and she was right, it was very different to any other course I’ve ever attended. It’s intense but in a good way which made me re-evaluate many areas of my life and reflect on how they’re impacting each other. It made me laugh, it made me cry. I was fascinated by Nis the moment I met her several months ago. I loved her presence and there was something very inspiring about her. I thought to myself, I want to spend more time with that person and here I am! The best part of the workshop? Everything. It gave me goosebumps.

If Guests cancel within 10 days of registering they will receive a full refund, but any Guests seeking to cancel their registration after 10 days will not, under any circumstances, receive a refund due to the extremely limited seating for an event of this nature.

Once Guests register for The Truth Retreat, we make extensive arrangements and investments while anticipating their tuition and attendance, and, in the case of their cancellation, we incur significant administration, expenses, and loss of business. Given this fact, if you are unsure of whether or not you can attend the event, it’s best to not register. If for whatever reason you are unable to attend the event after you have registered and after 10 days have passed since registering, we will happily transfer your ticket to someone you designate to attend in your place. We will credit you less a 10% cancellation fee if we are able to fill your opening. A 10% cancellation fee will be charged to all refunded deposits.

Note: The reason we have a cancellation policy like this is because each Retreat sells out and when an Guests cancels we have to manage the administration challenges as well as invest a significant time and expense to to fill the place in this invitation and referral only event. It costs us substantial time and resources to source the right individual, to refund and to spend the time to fill places, which includes research, creating emails, postcards, mailings, involving Nis's time, etc. Given the exclusivity and numbers of our Guests it's important for us to maintain this policy. We only want serious participants in this programme, this is your life we are talking about.
