The Lucid Dreaming Ocean Retreat
Treat yourself to a wonderful four days of lucid dream exploration.
We’ll explore the creative, healing, transformative and spiritual aspects of lucidity in a small group in stunning nature.
It’s a lucid holiday with a fascinating and supportive family of like-minded dreamers.
All are warmly welcome and there is no “requirement” to already be a lucid dreamer – please come as you are.
As many participants wish the retreat lasted longer, we now offer this 4-day Lucid Dreaming Retreat.
Includes workshops on Transformative Lucidity, Healing, Sleep, Conscious Death & Dying, Hypnagogic Imagery, Spiritual & Ancestral Lucid Dreaming.
Expand your wisdom in advanced areas of consciousness, and have fun on the beach!
The retreat starts at 6pm on Tuesday, 19 May, 2026, with a lucidity ritual and dinner all together.
We then dive deep for the next few days (details and schedule in Welcome Pack).
Officially, the tuition part of the retreat ends at 2.30pm on Saturday 23 May, but we are planning a lovely private lucid dream party that night with a group dinner and our own DJ in our retreat villa, so do stay for the final night if you can for this special end of retreat gathering!
So we recommend you stay five nights (Tuesday 19 May - Sunday 24) to get the full retreat experience.
Contact Dr. Clare on [email protected] to receive the Welcome Pack with accommodation options and schedule.
