Nicky Kassapian: Be With Yourself – The Unplugged Version
Blog - October 1, 2025Nicky Kassapian: Be With Yourself – The Unplugged Version
Every once in a while, someone comes into your life who changes the way you see yourself. For me, that person has been Nicky Kassapian.
I’ve worked with Nicky for the past three years, and in that time she has been a constant source of wisdom, clarity, and grounded support. She is one of those rare people who listens deeply, speaks thoughtfully, and has the gift of holding a space where you can hear your own truth more clearly. Nicky is not only a classical Buddhist meditation practitioner. She is also a coach, mentor, healer, and writer. To me she is simply a super-awesome human being.
This November, Nicky is leading a retreat that I want to share with you. It’s called Be With Yourself – The Unplugged Version, and it takes place from November 13th to 19th, 2025, at the beautiful Angkor Grace resort in Siem Reap, Cambodia, just minutes from the ancient temples.
The retreat is relatively silent, but it isn’t about strict rules or isolation. It’s about creating enough space for you to meet yourself again. Through simple daily practices of Buddhist meditation, mindfulness, walking, movement, and a unique evening practice called Dyads, participants are guided to settle into calm abiding, and from there open into greater insight. In plain words, it’s about slowing down enough to hear your own voice, and feeling what is real for you.
What I love most about Nicky’s work is how accessible it is. You don’t need to have meditated for years, and you don’t need to know the terminology. She has a way of making these timeless practices feel natural, even joyful. Her approach is clear, kind, and gentle. And what you carry home is not only a week of peace but a daily practice you can continue with confidence.
If you are longing to disconnect from the noise of everyday life, and reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate, loving, and grounded way, I can’t recommend this retreat enough.
