The Chande Project retreats
The Chande Project bridges western science with eastern wisdom to help people feel more alive, resilient, and connected through transformative experiences.
It incorporates yoga, breath work, mindfulness, movement, and creative reflection with tasty food, meaningful connections and a sound bath.
Our retreats, workshops, and digital content support nervous system regulation and purposeful living.
Doctors, burnout professionals, corporate businesses, leaders, entrepreneurs, inquisitive minds
Highly skeptical individuals closed off to non-Western approaches but I would still appreciate their skepticism as it helps my understanding and explanation of it.
Those seeking quick fixes or surface-level self-help although they are more than welcome.
Those very uncomfortable with group connection – we design the retreats to foster human connection.
Our clients love the authenticity of our work, the stories behind it, the strong connections made between attendees, the experience-focused learning, the playful undertone, the use of music, the blend of science and spirit.
My background is varied and I have worked in a vast range of healthcare settings:
Remote Scottish Island hospitals and custody cells
Urban GP surgeries for Homelessness
Sports and Expedition Medicine environments
Leadership and Management
The drive behind these experiences, the many courses I attended and the books I have read has stemmed from a decade-long interest in trying to understand what it is that constitutes a healthy, happy, fulfilling life. Along the way I collected some aha moments, wow experiences and lightbulb learnings and this led me to a point where I wanted to share the wisdom which I hope can be as useful to others as it continues to be for me.
