The Retreat
With Dan, Adam and Tiana
Dream is a weekend of creative explorations to connect to your unique self-expression. Through meditative art techniques, creative writing, ecstatic dance and nature art, you will meet your inner artist from a place of curiosity and play. In the Vedic understanding, svapna, the dream state, is where the mind speaks in symbol and image. We will explore archetypes, symbols and intention: what wants to be expressed through you, and what you would like to call in. You will leave with new tools for weaving creativity into your practice and your everyday life.
Who's it for?
Anyone drawn to creative expression — whether you are a seasoned creative looking to reconnect with inspiration and play, or someone who has not picked up a colouring pencil since school. You do not need to be “good” at anything. You need only curiosity, and a willingness to create something without knowing how it will turn out.
Accessible and open to all levels of yoga and meditation experience. No artistic experience necessary.

Meet Your Hosts
Dan
Adam
Tiana
Between us, we’ve trained in India and Mexico, lived in ashrams and spiritual communities, taught retreats around the world, served in the RAF, built businesses, raised families and learned first-hand what happens when life gets too busy.
Adam brings years of experience in yoga, Bhakti, philosophy, music and retreat facilitation, shaped by time spent living and learning in spiritual communities across the world.
Tiana blends yoga, movement, storytelling, sound and creativity, with an approach that brings together depth, play and real human connection.
Dan came to this work from a very different direction. After years in the RAF, building businesses and living life at full speed, burnout forced a rethink of what success actually meant. That journey led him towards wellbeing, retreat spaces and creating experiences that help people slow down, challenge themselves and see life differently.
Different paths. Different experiences. One shared aim: To create retreats that can have an incredible impact on your life

FAQS
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely — most of our guests do. Making things alongside other people is one of the oldest ways humans have of becoming friends.
I am not creative. Is Dream really for me?
Yes, Dream is designed for beginners as much as for practicing artists. Every workshop starts from zero, all materials are provided, and no one will be asked to show or share anything they do not want to.
Do I need to bring art supplies?
No, everything you will need is provided, but if you have a favourite sketchbook or pen, by all means bring it along!
Do I have to take part in everything?
No. This is your retreat, and rest is always a valid choice. You are welcome to sit out or simply observe any session.
What is included in the price?
Two nights’ accommodation, all meals from dinner on Day 1 to lunch on Day 3, every workshop and session, all art materials, your welcome gift bag and use of the grounds. Massages and treatments are available to book separately.
