About DEYA Retreats
DEYA Retreats
Mission & Vision
DEYÀ Retreats creates deeply considered, place-based retreats in rare locations with soul. Founded by compassion educator Dr Amy Finlay-Jones and humanitarian-turned-counsellor Michael van Koesveld, we weave contemplation, creativity, culture and nature to help people reconnect—with themselves, each other and the spirit of place, in community. Our vision is simple: connection isn’t constructed; it’s discovered through presence and patient attention, so guests return home rested, clearer and more alive.
