Level Up Retreat: A 7-Day Evolutionary Odyssey in Nature // A Mindfulness based Personal & Professional Development
Dharma - Movement - Art

Feel the call to transform, to leap into the unknown? In our rapidly shifting world, the daily grind can obscure the path to self-discovery. We've crafted an immersive haven in nature's embrace, a canvas for deep reflection, creation, and release.

Join kindred spirits on a Canadian west coast retreat, where the status quo no longer suffices, and personal alchemy beckons. Amidst pristine landscapes, you'll signal your evolving self: Wake up, Shake up, Shape up, Mess Up, and Play to truly LEVEL UP.

Nature and new companions open doors to fresh perspectives, nurturing evolution. Be it in relationships, communication, creativity, or self-understanding, we've got it covered, and it's exhilarating!

Discover natural happiness through five vital facets:
Conscientious Leadership
Creativity in Motion
Present Moment Awareness
Kindness and Compassion in Challenges
Integrating Inner and Outer Worlds

This retreat sows simplicity, clarity, connectedness, and care within you. Shed your stories, uncover your essence, and let your gifts illuminate the world authentically.
It's not about becoming a bigger, better version of you but unveiling your hidden potential and igniting creativity without pressure.

Experience Plerking (Playing-Learning-Working balance), uncover your Secret Sauce, tame the Monkey Mind, nurture courageous creativity, and dismantle the illusion of perfectionism.

FOR THOSE:
Seeking to disrupt their status quo
Aligning modern life with retreat
Deepening stillness and self-understanding
Integrating material and spiritual aspects
Visionaries, leaders, and creatives in transformation
Adventurous souls ready for new experiences
Life transitions or seeking direction
Entrepreneurs, renegades, and those feeling stuck

Immerse in meditation, Dharma dialogues, mindful movement, and nature's wisdom. Engage in self-discovery through inquiry, silent reflection, and digital detox. No experience needed—just an open heart and curiosity.

BENEFITS:
Heightened self-awareness and inner peace
Improved relationships
Integration of meditation into daily life
A resourced, clear self
Compassionate communication

A profound and deep experience
The retreat was a truly magnificent experience.

This is not your typical retreat. There is real work on your deepest insecurities, fears and traumas. You will dive into your emotions and work on what ever you are dealing with right now or confront ghosts from the past. You will explore your spiritual being and learn how to incorporate it into your life. The program creates a pendulum teaching you how to truly enjoy life and every wonderful things in it all the while exploring difficulties in life. It's a really diverse experience with each day focusing on one of the following Buddhist virtues: Loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity. These are profoundly important virtues and there is a great creativity behind how these are incorporated into the daily activities. Nishta and Evangelos works really well together. The dynamic between the two created a truly joyfull and relaxed environment. They are full of love and kindness and will show and give you compassion. This creates a very safe environment in which you can let go and explore your inner self. During my discoveries, when visiting deep and difficult emotions, i could seek guidance and comfort from the two, which really helped me. For that i am grateful.

I do not want to give more spoilers because this needs to be experienced!

Sending love to Nishta and Evangelos. Thank you.
