Dara and Simon are the co-founders of the 7 day transformational journey "NAKED The Retreat" where they have been stripping people bare around the world since 2014. They also travel the globe to bring the revolutionary art of transparency to companies, festival and schools.

Dara came to this world singing and with an extraordinary sense of compassion for all beings. She was introduced to spoon bending, fire walking and other paranormal phenomenas at a very young age by her mother which led her on a path of spirituality early on. But like a butterfly needing to ripen in a cocoon, she spent most of her 20s hiding in the golden cage of a quasi marriage to a millionaire, chasing the idea that happiness can be found in material things. The traumatic birth of her daughter signified the starting point of the unfolding as an empowered woman. She left the paradise that wasn't hers with her baby under her arm. Upon meeting Simon their souls magically merged to become a powerful force of change that has touched hundreds of people's lives to this day.

Simon's journey from crime, drugs and a small jail sentence to being a lead actor in a 19 million dollar movie turned upside down, when he had a peak experience in 2007 that left him questioning this whole life's existence. Making the life altering decision to never lie again, he found that that is easier said than done in a world built on a foundation of deceit, competition and fraudulence. He realized that speaking truth is a revolutionary act and continues to shed light where resistance lurks in our dishonesty accustomed minds. Paving the pathless path to more truth in this world, he is now an ambassador of love and shares the art of transparency around the globe together with his partner in shine Dara.

Day 1 Coming in and slowing down

The first day will be all about connecting to the group and the space, opening the circle for the week ahead. An opportunity for you to arrive. There will be a little introduction into nutrition and its meaning for your body. Over a good plate of food we will laugh, relax and tune into where we will head together as individuals and collectively.

Day 2 Emotional release - unwrap your feelings

The second day is all about the body and how to get you out of your head. Physical excercises and active meditations take us to the locked up feelings we all hold in our bodies. In a head based culture like ours, it is important to release the emotional 'garbage' in form of physical tension, which clogs our systems day in, day out. Learn about some of the principles of bio-energetics and understand why any kind of self development has to go hand in hand with body work and physical release. Shake it off and move yourself to freedom.

Day 3 Transparent communication - get naked in your words

The third day opens with the daily practices and then moves into how we can become naked within our communication - meaning trusting ourselves to communicate what we’re truly thinking and feeling. Together we look at personal stories, painbodies and the conditionings that hold us back from expressing our truth.

Day 4 Self love - unclothe your true essence

Many have heard the saying you can’t love another until you love yourself but unfortunately most people are still seeking love in all the wrong places. So where is that deep ocean of love within us and how can we access it right now in the knowing that we are enough, worth loving and beYOUtiful. This day will help you embrace your rawness and vulnerability. Are you ready to honor your body as your temple?

Day 5 Authentic relating - uncover your relationships

Day five is about moving from owner- to relationship. Learn how to use your eyes and ears for what they were actually created for. Truly seeing and listening. Relate to others as deeply as you relate to yourself. What does it mean to see every person you meet as a noble guest and a mirror to your wholeness?

Day 6 Taking you to stillness - strip away the noise

In your courageous inner dive, we move to silence and simply observe what is arising. In being outside and embraced by the elements of nature we allow life to breath us and let the world experience itself through our senses. In the calm space of being, your new nakedness will be allowed to sink into your centre.

Day 7 Marry yourself

The last day closes with a sacred celebration of You. We keep this one as a little surprise :)

The program consists of daily practices such as Yoga/qigong, dance or shaking and writing exercises to get you into the habit of expanding your mind and body. An immersion into you, the days are packed, starting with the morning routines, full on days of learning and growing, up until our famous evening treats.
