The hinterland of Byron Bay, Australia, is a renowned place for healing and renewal. The land is a part of an ancient volcano that erupted more than 100 million years ago, leaving behind the largest green caldera (cauldron) in the Southern Hemisphere, rich with fertile soil and a palpable energy.

 

Nest Retreat Centre is a uniquely secluded retreat space, surrounded by an ancient forest, giving us the optimum landscape to take time out from the hustle and overwhelm, and gather in love, authenticity, and beauty.

"I love Kris for her authenticity and her ability to be completely real, while at the same time connected to everything that is. I’ve been to lots of retreats but I don’t think I’ve ever sat with a facilitator who is so humanly available and void of any ego. She’s a completely open book and so powerful in a loving, joyous and liberating way. I never felt controlled or restricted, there was a goddessy flow that moved throughout the whole retreat. Kris is a goddess and you’ll have to sit with her to find that out for yourself."
Melanie
"I’ve just had the most beautiful retreat with Kris in paradise. My cup is overflowing. I’ve made so many beautiful connections with beautiful women. I’ve been nourished, I’ve deeply shared, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I’ve pushed my own barriers. I’ve opened up to the possibility of who I can be, what I can become, and I’m so grateful for everything that I’ve received from this delicious retreat."
