About Higher Ground Wellness Retreat: A Sanctuary for Women
Meet Gordana Boskovic
Welcome to Higher Ground Wellness Retreat, a peaceful sanctuary in the forests of Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island, where healing is personal, compassionate, and deeply transformative.
I'm Gordana Boskovic, founder of Higher Ground Wellness Retreat, and I believe that every person has the ability to heal when they are given the right environment, support, and tools.
My path to creating this retreat was shaped by more than two decades of supporting people through life's challenges. As a Bachelor of Social Work graduate with a background in Sociology, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Reiki practitioner, yoga and meditation facilitator, and wellness educator, I have spent my career helping individuals reconnect with their strength, resilience, and purpose.
Throughout my work, I have supported children, families, older adults, Indigenous communities, and individuals facing complex life circumstances. Those experiences taught me that true healing goes beyond treating symptoms—it requires caring for the whole person: body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
That understanding inspired me to create Higher Ground Wellness Retreat.
Why I Created Higher Ground Wellness Retreat
Many people carry invisible burdens. They are grieving, overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or simply longing for a place where they can slow down and feel supported.
I wanted to create more than a wellness retreat. I wanted to create a safe, welcoming space where people could step away from the noise of everyday life and experience genuine care, privacy, and personalized healing.
Unlike large group retreats, every retreat at Higher Ground Wellness Retreat is designed around you. Whether you're navigating burnout, grief, childhood experiences, relationship challenges, chronic stress, or a major life transition, your retreat is thoughtfully tailored to your goals and your pace.
My Approach to Healing
I believe lasting transformation happens when we work with the whole person rather than focusing on just one aspect of health.
Your retreat may include a personalized combination of:
- Trauma-informed support
- Somatic and nervous system regulation
- Reiki and energy healing
- Gentle yoga and meditation
- Breathwork and mindfulness
- Holistic nutrition guidance
- Sound healing
- Nature immersion
- Guided self-reflection and life coaching
Every experience is designed to help you reconnect with yourself, restore balance, and leave with practical tools that support your wellbeing long after your retreat has ended.
A Place to Slow Down and Reconnect
Located in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, Higher Ground Wellness Retreat offers a peaceful forest setting where you can rest, reflect, and begin a new chapter with clarity and confidence.
Whether you join me for a private healing session, a one-day retreat, or a multi-day personalized retreat, my intention is the same: to provide a compassionate space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about rediscovering the strength, wisdom, and wholeness that have always been within you.

If you're ready to invest in your wellbeing, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.
