DREAMSOMATIX™ · INTERNATIONAL RETREAT
Psyche and Eros
A three-day teaching retreat on Dream Psychotherapy©,
held in the gated calm of BLESS Ibiza, The Site.
SEPTEMBER 21–23, 2027
IBIZA, SPAIN
THE INVITATION
A retreat for people who want to understand the dream they are already living.
Three days of teaching, in a room of up to eighteen, led by Marilyn D. Manzi, LMFT. The mornings move slowly through the Dream Psychotherapy© framework. The afternoons belong to the body: The sea, the walk, the long lunch, the spa. The evenings return the group to the table.
This is a method, not a mood. You will leave with a vocabulary for the images and sensations that surface in dreams, and with a practice you can keep. The intimacy is structural: A cohort of this size learns one another by the end of the first day.
The retreat is held at BLESS Collection Hotel Ibiza, The Site — a quiet enclave on Playa d'en Bossa, in the south of the island. Everything you need for the three days sits inside the property. Everything you may want beyond it is walkable from the gate.

YOUR FACILITATOR
Marilyn D. Manzi, LMFT
Founder of DreamSomatix™. Qualified Supervisor. Developer of the Dream Psychotherapy© protocol and the Acute Stress continuing-education curriculum. Marilyn teaches at IASD and in private practice in San Francisco, where she has refined a method that holds depth and body in the same breath. The retreat is her primary teaching intensive of the year.
THE TEACHING
Dream Psychotherapy©, taught at the pace of a retreat.
The dream is not a puzzle to be solved. It is a letter from a part of you that writes differently from the part of you that reads. Dream Psychotherapy© is the method for receiving it: A somatic practice held inside a depth-psychological frame.
Across the three days you will learn to listen to a dream with the body first, then with the image, then with language. You will practice the method on your own dreams, in a small group, with a facilitator who has taught it to clinicians and lay audiences at national and international conferences.
The retreat is open to any adult who wants a serious encounter with the method. Across the three days you spend twelve hours in the room with Marilyn: CAMFT-accredited workshop teaching (CE Provider #143942, 6 CE hours), and six hours of dream group practice as experiential application of the method.
THE VENUE
BLESS Ibiza, The Site.
A gated five-star property on Playa d'en Bossa, designed by Lázaro Rosa-Violán. Suites with private terraces, outdoor jacuzzis, four signature restaurants, and the kind of discretion that lets a retreat happen without the island noticing.
The group is held in two spaces that face the sea: A quiet plenary room for the morning workshop, and an intimate breakout room for the dream group. The property's rhythm — pool, spa, restaurants, beach access — becomes the afternoon container.

INVESTMENT
What the retreat holds.
The package covers your stay, your meals inside the program, and the teaching. Final pricing is confirmed once BLESS returns the group room rate; the range below reflects pricing still in negotiation. Deposits received before December 15, 2026 lock the lower bound.
PER GUEST
€4,500 – €6,700
Lower end: shared double room. Upper end: private single occupancy.
Final pricing confirmed with BLESS.
Four nights accommodation, all program meals and coffee breaks, three days of teaching, 6 CAMFT CE hours, meeting space, and tourist tax. A single-occupancy supplement is available — and worth considering: the BLESS suites are designed in Mediterranean minimalism and the closets are compact, so a shared room works best if both guests pack light. Single occupancy gives you unhurried space to settle in.
