Held & Aligned Virtual Retreat
A Sacred Pause for Helpers, Healers, Caregivers, and Sensitive SoulsA 7-Day Experience to Create Space for Stillness, Be Held, and Return to Yourself
In a world where the current everyday landscape is filled with extraordinary uncertainty, intensity, pressure and amplified urgency - not to mention the continued glorification of busy-ness and overpacked schedules - we need to create sacred space and pauses for ourselves now more than ever.
If you’re reading this, then it is likely that your nervous system is pretty fried, your heart is weary from heaviness, and your mind feels full beyond capacity more often than not. Living in 2025 as an energetically-sensitive and conscious person is a lot.
There is no magic pill or overnight fix for such conditions, there is only an ever-present invitation to slow down, pause, and allow yourself to receive the care you so freely give to others. You may know this, but pulling it off is an entirely different story - due to mostly unconscious beliefs and habits that convince you that everything will fall apart if you do, or that there simply is not enough time.
So we’ve created this sacred container to disrupt those beliefs and to help you remember that it is okay to slow down, and there’s time to do so, even if just for a moment, when we choose to claim it. We created this space for you to feel supported, held and aligned. If your body unclenched in the slightest upon reading these words, then we encourage you to consider allowing yourself this gift.
“Held & Aligned” is a virtual retreat designed to not only give you a sacred pause, healing and some much-needed restoration that can actually fit into your schedule, but also give you simple and doable tools to help you embody the truth that you deserve all the love, support and compassion, too, and that you’re worthy of receiving it in everyday life.
This virtual retreat is for the caregivers, helpers, healers, and sensitive souls who feel it all and hold it all. This is your invitation to slow down and carve out sacred time to nurture and realign with the light within you.
Co-created by Nova Wightman, Transformational Alignment Coach and author of Awake & Aligned: How to Navigate the Human Experience as a Spiritual Being, and Nicole Testa, Well-Being Coach & Reiki Practitioner, this gentle virtual retreat offers you a supportive container to pause, reset, reconnect with your heart, and receive the care and attention you so freely give to others.
This is for you if you’re ready to:
Nurture your own heart as generously as you nurture those around you
Ease the build-up of stress and exhaustion before it becomes too much
Refill your cup so you can keep showing up with compassion and presence
Root back into your spiritual essence and inner wisdom
Feel held, supported, and reminded that you are not alone
Learn ways to feel restored and held way more often in your everyday life
