Introducing Your Retreat Guides

Hello and welcome! I'm Nicole Busby, owner, operator and yoga teacher at Sea Glass Yoga.

I have been drawn to spiritual exploration and self-discovery ever since childhood. Brought up in a spiritual tradition, self-reflection, self-responsibility and growth have been constant companions, as well as the inner connection that uplifts and helps to make sense of this lifetime. Throughout my journey, I've trained as an actor, raised a family, and now, I'm joyfully embracing my role as a yoga teacher.

Kundalini Yoga was a turning point for me that helped me to heal old wounds, learn to love myself intrinsically and sink into being my authentic, true, unique self. If you haven't tried Kundalini Yoga yet, you're in for a treat! It's a joyous practice that combines breathwork, movement (yes, including dance parties!), mantra and meditation. Known as the Yoga of Transformation and Awareness, it clears, energizes, and connects like nothing else. And it's accessible! If you can breathe, you can do yoga!

Oh, and I love traveling!

As a Registered Yoga Teacher 500 hour I love to teach yoga classes at my home studio as well as at Retreats in wonderful places like Costa Rica and Bali! This is my first Retreat (of many, I hope) at my home on beautiful Vancouver Island, a wonderful place to retreat to in the summer!

Love is the magical thread that ties everything together. When we can love ourselves as spirit loves us and see that spirit in others we expand the love in our world and others.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I can't wait to RETREAT with YOU!

My yoga credentials include a 200-hour Yoga Teacher training in Integrative Yoga Therapy at Island Yoga Vista, and 200 and 300-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Trainings with Manipura Yoga College.

Reina Starke is a proud Métis woman, mother of two daughters, and mental health counsellor whose heart is devoted to creating spaces for healing, connection, and transformation. For over eight years, Reina has been hosting Goddess Circles, events, and retreats across Vancouver Island, and there is nothing that nourishes her soul more deeply.

Her passion lies in gathering women in sacred spaces rooted in love, acceptance, and belonging—where self-love, authenticity, and personal growth can flourish. Each Goddess Circle is uniquely and intuitively guided, offering opportunities for self-discovery through journaling, sharing circles, guided meditation, body movement, release rituals, and manifestation practices.

Reina believes that when women come together with open hearts, profound healing and empowerment become possible. Her mission is to inspire and support you in embracing your most authentic self, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and stepping fully into the life you are meant to live.

She is honored to welcome you into this sacred experience and looks forward to sharing this journey with you.

Holly’s sound journey offers luminous frequencies,  harmonies and vibrational tones, from the gong, crystal singing bowls, hand pan, harmonium and chimes.

Beginning with the precious and simple sound of breath, together we will participate in guided toning to neutralize the mind and fortify our energetic field, before dropping into receptivity.

From a passion to better understand the system and philosophy of yoga, as well as a desire to share these ancient technologies with others, Holly Bender completed her first teacher training in 2009, and has continued to practice and train in various modalities ever since.

Fascinated by the healing that comes from the mind-body-breath connection, Holly began the Yoga Therapy program at Pacific Rim College in 2011 and went on to study additional eastern healing modalities to incorporate Thai Yoga Massage and Ayurveda into her practice. This led to continued yoga and bodywork trainings overseas, where she was immersed in cultural and historical teachings from India and Thailand, and later in the healing arts of Lomi Lomi Polynesian Bodywork.

She continues to offer yoga and bodywork sessions in her community, amongst ongoing development and trainings, and alongside her dedicated role as a mother.

Raised by a music therapist, songs and sacred sounds have accompanied her journey through yoga in a vital way, from kirtan chanting, mantra meditation and Bhakti yoga to sound healing  offerings, to share the medicine of harmonic frequencies from the crystal bowls, gong, chimes and expanding collection of unique sound tools. Holly’s classes and sessions always include intentional tones, and she holds immersive events for Sound Journeying and Mantra Magic additionally.

Finding enrichment in various styles of yoga over the past 17 years, Holly has a dedicated practice and can’t imagine a life without it! She is humbled by the growth, healing and inspiration that she sees in students and in her own life, through the conscious application of  body-mind & breath.
