Long nights, odd hours and over-indulgence combined with relentless travel, social pressure and sustained solitude create unique occupational health hazards to artists and entertainers that can no longer be ignored.

 

Our program includes a holistic approach to wellbeing and personal development inspired by ayurveda and Integrated Medicine centered on the principles of nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, and physical therapy.

 

We're here to help those in the Arts & Entertainment community to:

DUNCAN DICK

“I was quite blown away by the care and the effort and the detail to everything that’s going on here. Some of the talks and the experiences have been really relaxing and mind-blowing. There’s a special kind of energy here that I find really healing.”

“The statistics don’t lie; this is a tough business. Thanks to the works of Ben Turner and Blaise DeAngelo, we’ve just completed the first wellness retreat here in Ibiza designed specifically for people in the entertainment industry. Its success proves that our industry needs healing and people want to be healed.”

“When you get to these really beautiful places... the quiet and nature...I think we forget that we’re all part of the universe and not separate, and that nature is not there for us to use but also to participate in and be a part of. It reminds you that you are part of the fabric of life.”

"Wellness, wisdom and alternative education in the White Isle countryside...

we know we've shared

something special."
