Retreat Daily Programme

Flow Retreat 7-11 June 2025

This five-day retreat invites you to shed the layers that separate you from your most authentic creative voice.

Through the marriage of modern music technology and ancient wisdom practices, we explore the art of listening – not just to sound, but to the silence within us. Here, in this deliberate pause from the digital chaos, we discover:

  • Studio Techniques

Daily morning and afternoon deep dive sessions into production and mixing techniques, sound engineering, composition, arrangement and advanced use of the Rapid Flow workflow.

  • The Art of Noticing

Where does music exist before we create it What happens when we remove the barriers between intention and expression How do we recognize the natural rhythms within ourselves?

  • The Way of Flow

Tuning in to the moment the "you" dissapears. Composition as a form of surrender. Arrangement as intuitive following. Mixing as an act of deep listening and emotion.

  • The Practice of Presence

Daily guided morning meditation (20 mins.) to clear the channels and center your focus - Led by myself. Movement through yoga, shaking and other somatic practices (30 mins.) to unlock stagnant energy - Led by Oona Kassen certified Yoga Teacher & Life Coach

  • Afternoon Meditation & Sound Healing

Guided by Benjamin Kurtz (Master NLP Practitioner). His approach merges traditional sound healing with modern music production, creating immersive experiences that support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and expanded consciousness. 

  • Social & Media Detox

By stepping away from the noise of social media and into the quiet of focused creation in the Portuguese countryside, we begin to hear what has always been there – our natural inspiration, waiting to be discovered.

This is not about adding more techniques to your arsenal. It's about removing the obstacles that stand between you and your most honest work.
