About Us
DEYÀ Retreats curates place-based experiences in rare locations that have soul.
Founded by Dr. Amy Finlay-Jones, a psychologist, academic and compassion facilitator, and Michael van Koesveld, a humanitarian worker, counsellor and hospitality worker, we bring together contemplative practices, creativity and culture, and nature to connect people deeply - with themselves, with others, and with the spirit of place.
DEYÀ Family
Places choose their people, we've learned.
After years of living across continents - Amy as a global compassion educator and Michael through humanitarian work - we recognise locations that demand attention rather than consumption.
Our daughter Deià, named for the Mallorcan village that took and enlarged our hearts, reminds us daily that connection isn't constructed - it's discovered. Through presence and patient attention to what already exists in and around us.
