We are Tomaz and Dan. Together we bring together nearly half a century of holistic health experience in the fields of Ayurveda, Alexander Technique and Meditation. We hold a warm, unhurried space for inner change. Our work weaves together ancient methods with cutting-edge healing technology to support deep transformation.
Retreats are held privately for one guest, a couple, or a small private group, so your days can unfold at the pace you need.
Our retreats are private and bespoke. Your stay includes accommodation, meals, and one to one sessions each day.
Most guests stay 4 to 7 days. The investment typically ranges from 1600 to 4200 GBP, depending on length and the depth of work we explore together.
This is not a quick escape or a surface level wellness experience. It is a space where you are met fully, supported with care, and given the time and presence needed for lasting inner change.
