Core Workshops & Practices
Your Week of Transformation
Intuitive Development + The Clairs
Recognize and cultivate your intuitive style by exploring the six psychic pathways: Clairvoyance (clear seeing), Clairsentience (clear feeling), Claircognizance (clear knowing), Clairaudience (clear hearing), Clairalience (clear smelling), and Clairgustance (clear tasting).
Soma Breathwork & Conscious Connected Breathing
Experience two transformational breathing modalities: Soma breathwork for nervous system regulation and intuitive clarity, and conscious connected breathing to release deeply held emotion and clear energetic blockages.
Chakra Balancing & Energy Flow
Understand how intuitive information moves through the body's energetic centers. Learn to identify and release blockages, restore alignment, and deepen energetic awareness.
Aura Reading & Energy Field Interpretation
Learn to sense and interpret the human energy field. Perceive colors, shapes, textures, and vibrations that reflect the emotional and spiritual state of yourself and others.
Psychometry & Symbolic Interpretation

Why Breathwork?
The Anchor of Our Retreat
When I was getting certified as a breathwork practitioner, I started exploring how it could help my clients with grief work, deep healing, and finding inner clarity. What I found was more than I could have ever dreamed.
Breathwork — unlike other modalities like yoga or meditation — allows you to "drop in" to your body and senses faster and deeper than any other practice. If you struggle with swirling thoughts and too much brain chatter, you've likely had a hard time with many mindfulness exercises in the past.
I've had clients feel more connected and aligned after three breathwork sessions than when they spent 30 minutes in meditation, every single day, for weeks.
Breathwork is the anchor of our retreat and is designed to help you release what is no longer serving you and support the new version of yourself we'll create together.

Meet Heidi Jaffe
Your Guide & Founder
Heidi is the founder of Nissa Retreats and is here to create a loving container for your week, so you can experience your spiritual and intuitive gifts in a safe environment.
If you've ever felt like you've had a gut feeling, an inner knowing that something was going to happen before it did, or gotten goosebumps when thinking of a loved one who's passed away but couldn't justify the "logic" or reason why — you have an underdeveloped psychic or mediumship ability.
What most people get wrong about psychic abilities and the gift of mediumship is that this isn't channeling demons, seeing ghosts, or talking to the dead. There's nothing to be scared of. During our week together you'll tune in to your inner knowing and heighten your intuitive senses with a certified guide and master teacher who's helped thousands of clients.
And if you've been looking for a sign, this is it.
