dryft retreat
a journey of wellbeing
23 - 30 September 2024
DRYFT is delighted to partner with Breathing+Plus for this once-in-a-lifetime retreat experience. Join us as we host world-renowned experts who will guide you through an immersive and experiential journey into wellbeing.
This is your invitation to connect, feel, and grow within the raw natural beauty of our island surroundings, held in a safe and nurturing environment. Through the lenses of present moment awareness, breath, body, and nature, discover new levels of wellness and vitality.
Together, we'll deepen our intellectual knowledge of how the breath, sleep, movement and nervous system interact and impact our experience of life in each moment.
We'll develop an embodied felt sense of how to navigate naturally through our human states of being.

imagine...
...stepping off a boat onto these sandy shores
for a truly unforgettable filipino welcome
and 7 days in paradise
together, we'll explore and experience...
filipino blessings
Our opening ceremony will be led by Batara Gat Baya, a traditional Filipino healer and mediator of the spiritual and physical worlds. A beautiful welcome to the island and an opportunity to connect with its traditions.
Batara will also be available for personalised 1:1 sessions throughout the week.
breathing science
We'll dive deep into the science behind our breathing, exploring the differences between respiration and ventilation, understanding what's going on biochemically, biomechanically and psychophysiologically.
You'll also experience a personalised capnography session to test your baseline CO2 levels prior to any other breathwork activities.
movement + mindfulness
We'll explore the very simple act of movement but in a more embodied, connected and playful way, keeping our bodies and minds young.
Mindful awareness enables us to be in the moment with a sense of calm and alertness, all while paying purposeful attention. Mindfulness regulates your nervous system by flushing out stress hormones creating balance in body and mind.
nervous system mastery + flow states
This is something that we're never told that we can learn to regulate - but by doing so, we can alter our experience of life. We'll learn how to use many different 'levers' to shift our state.
We'll explore 'flow'... described as "when you are deeply immersed in an activity." It’s the secret to happiness, according to psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who coined the concept.
sleep science
Exploring the science of sleep, we'll begin to understand how this, along with our breath, impacts our ability to focus, concentrate and perform.
Gain valuable insights into how we can improve and optimise our sleep patterns.
circular breathing
Through circular breathing and the practice of Vivation, we'll experience the power of our breath and the expansiveness of our body, discovering what it means to integrate our feelings in the present moment and to meet life with less resistance and judgement.
embodiment
What does it mean to embody something?
We'll explore the feeling of embodiment through each one of our experiences over these 7 days and move towards a fuller, richer more authentic experience of life.
traditional filipino massage
Receive a 60-minute full body massage to promote deep restoration, release tension and relax fully.
This holistic healing practice has been passed down through the generations in the Philippines.
excursions + exploration
Exploring and experiencing the uncertain and unknown stimulates growth, enjoyment and connection.
Throughout the week, we will be taking plenty of time to see what our magical island has to offer.
