Your Guide
Retreat Leader & Program Coordinator
Holly Nicole, founder, co-host, yoga teacher, and meditation guide, leads sessions and coordinates retreats that calm the mind and spirit, utilizing her extensive mental health education, creating space for integration, embodiment, and recovery.
The Waking Dream is a transformational collective founded by Holly Nicole, an expert yoga teacher and Advanced Yoga Nidra Professional with more than two decades of experience in mental health, education, and social work. Holly collaborates with a global network of highly trained people—each bringing years of experience in holding safe, trauma-informed, and deeply transformative containers. Together, they are devoted to supporting the full arc of healing: from preparation to integration that is embodied and sustainable.
A central mission of The Waking Dream is to ensure that ritual experiences are surrounded by the care they deserve—emphasizing that the before and after are just as important as what happens during the experience. Participants are guided through a process that includes comprehensive medical and mental health screenings prior to the retreat, ensuring that each journey is approached with discernment, safety, and reverence.
With roots in somatic practice, therapeutic support, and sacred ritual, The Waking Dream offers a space for truth to rise and healing to unfold. These are containers for real transformation—where spiritual depth meets grounded expertise, and where no one is rushed or left alone in their process.
