What makes Haven’s Retreats different?
🌿 All of Haven’s retreats are intentionally kept small to keep the work deep, intimate, and safe.
🌿 This is NOT another ‘weekend away to relax, journal, and yoga’ – while Haven’s retreats definitely build in space for personal time on the Land, writing to come into relationship with Self, and movement of bodies in ways to attune and somatically connect – the focus is on DEPTH work.
We dare to look and seek and immerse ourselves in the Underworld; we sink, get messy, grieve, howl, and curse; we turn towards that which the world tells us to reject and hide; and even afraid, we Journey into dark corners and spaces, bringing healing and love with us.
🌿 With professional facilitation and guidance, we build safe and sacred community containers where women can lay down their armor and be truly Seen, Witnessed, and Welcomed as their Authentic Selves.
🌿 In the Circle we come to experience, sometimes for the first time, that our authentic Othered Self can find true Belonging.
🌿 In the Ceremonies and Rituals, we come to understand that we are Never Alone. We meet and connect with the live and conscious Indwelling Spirit – of the Land we stand upon, of the work we are doing, of the Collective Divine, of our Ancestral Line… and more.

HEALERS ~Art & Spirit Full Day Retreats
Those who hold space as a profession must seek out space to be held in return 
An immersive experience created just for therapists and healers. It will include ritual, ceremony, art making, and will focus on the unique lived experience of therapists, and the deeply important and impactful work we do. Within this confidential space, we will honour the privilege of the work, while also validating and leaning into the hard edges of it. We will hold space for the grief in the work; the struggles; the imposter syndrome; the isolation; and more…

Annual Women’s Healing Weekend Retreat – Transformed
Our Summer Retreat, facilitated by Nikki Featherstone and the most amazing Kriket Shaman, ran sold out for 7 straight years ~ 7 Cycles of healing, circling, and coming to know who we are within the Tribe of Women and the Sacred Circle of Divine Feminine Love. With Kriket’s sudden passing in early 2021, this Cycle of 7 years ended and a new Cycle began in 2022.
The annual Women’s Healing Retreat continued, with a new way; a new location, a new focus, and a new Vision. Nikki continued to open to the Vision through the Dreamtime of the Winter months, and news of each annual retreat is announced in the early Spring – So check back for details or add your name to the Emailing List!

Testimonials:
I have attended two women’s retreats with Nikki Featherstone. She is a truly incredible woman. I feel blessed to have her in my life and assisting me along my journey. The women’s retreats were life-changing experiences that provided a safe environment for growth and connectedness. I have my first art therapy appointment next month. I trust Nikki wholeheartedly and with her I know that I’m safe to release and grow. ~N. S.
