Do the Deep Work
With Us
Four times a year, we gather twelve people at a private heritage estate for three days of profound, carefully held transformation. Not a workshop. Not a retreat centre. Something quieter, deeper, and more personal.
A private heritage estate, tucked away from the noise
There's no signage on the road. No public access. No website where you can book a room. Just a place that has existed for generations — old stone walls, a walled garden, rooms that have held gatherings long before ours.
We chose this place deliberately. The work we do requires a certain quality of stillness that you can't manufacture in a conference centre or a hotel function room. The estate provides it naturally.
We don't name it publicly, and we don't share the address until you've been personally invited. This isn't exclusivity for its own sake — it's discretion, for the estate and for you.
Three days. Twelve people. Real transformation.
Over three days, you'll move between guided hypnotherapy sessions, time in nature, shared meals prepared by a remarkable chef, and quiet reflection. The structure is intentional — but the experience is shaped by the people in the room.
We won't describe every detail here. Some things are better experienced than explained. But we can tell you this: it's not a workshop. It's not a seminar. It's an immersive, carefully held space for doing the deep work — the work that changes things at the root.

Two practitioners. One intention.
Brian Hayes
Clinical Hypnotherapist · Founder of Lamplighter
Brian has spent years guiding people through the deep work — the kind that reaches beneath the surface and changes things at the root. Every retreat is personally shaped by him, from the intention of the season to the final conversation before you leave.
Sherry Yasay
Mindfulness & Meditation · Breathwork · Energy Healing
Sherry helps people navigate the powerful journey inward — through mindfulness and meditation, breathwork, and energy healing. Her work is about creating space to turn inward, release what no longer serves, and reconnect with your true path. Together, Brian and Sherry hold the space for each retreat with complementary practices that deepen the experience in ways a single voice cannot.
Visiting Experts
Each season, Brian and Sherry are joined by carefully chosen visiting experts from different fields — practitioners whose work complements the theme of the retreat and brings a fresh dimension to the experience. These are people at the top of their craft, invited personally for this group, this season, this place. The constellation changes with the intention, so no two retreats are ever the same.
Four seasons. Four intentions.
Each retreat follows the rhythm of the season — its mood, its energy, its invitation.
