About this Retreat
Your Guides
With a background in corporate training and leadership development, John brings clarity, depth, and emotional intelligence to all Nivrava sessions. An MPhil graduate and high-level conceptual thinker, they specialise in the intersection of Buddhist philosophy and modernism - exploring how ancient wisdom can illuminate modern complexity.
As CEO and founder of Nivrava, John leads with a belief in the transformative power of place, stillness, and elemental beauty. Their facilitation blends structured insight with intuitive presence, inviting guests into direct experience — not escape, but return.
John firmly believes in the power of location. Where better to gain a sense of perspective than on an island?
