Are you done with adulting?Let’s play mermaids!
Are you an adult that feels like they need a break from everyday life? Some time to really let go? You long for a magical way of reconnectiong with yourself?
You’re not alone. Many adult feel like they need a break from the mundaine daily tasks, such as:
✔
Having the pressure of taking care of others.
✔
Everyday seems to be the same, and not very magical.
✔
Lacking of a surrounding that really get’s their merdreams
I must be the only adult who likes merfolk? Wrong.
What if, you could find other adults that share the same interest while sailing the Aegean sea ?


Imagine a week where in you can….
1
You can wake up every morning feeling confident and empowered, knowing that you are surrounded by people with the same interest.
2
Develop your mermaiding skills and get the tools to keep on growing onces you get back home.
3
Make time for you to rest and recharge, you’ll go home with a new found clarity and have found it the most fun way possible.
With Merdreams , that world can be a reality.
During the retreat you’ll connect with like minded adults . Whether you’re just starting out and feeling unsure of where to begin, or you’re a seasoned siren looking to take your skills to the next level. The Merdreams retreat will guide you.
During our trips we’ll focus on detatching from the mundaine life, and reconnecting with our siren soul. We’ll do this in the most playful way.

Testimonials

“I went to the Merdreams retreat and I really loved it!! Lelie and Evi who organize it are really sweet and professional, I loved the boat, the captain and his staff are very nice and helpful, the food was soooo good! And I have some good photos from the shoot that I really love. I for sure recommend this retreat!”
Sarie, 2021 participant
“I attended the Merdreams retreat in Turkey and I absolutely loved it! The reason I chose this retreat is because the small group as it would allow me to get to know everyone else on the trip more intimately, and it certainly did! There were 10 of us on the trip and I became really good friends with every single person!”
Andrew, 2022 particpant


“If you are still doubting to join in, know that doubting is not a bad thing if you still want to figure things out but if you really want to have that familiar all-in mermaid trip where you can learn and experience all of the mer-skills. SSI MerInstructors Evi and Lelie are like the best two mer-(mom)-sisters for you . As a trans-mer I thought I would never found myself inclusive in a world of mermaiding but the Merdreams-sisters had proven otherwise. So if you are looking for a mer-safe(r)space, don’t look no further. The Merdreams retreat wil make your dreams happen. It’s only a matter of when.”
Jamine, 2022 particpant

“You don’t want To miss out .”
“Living on a boat for a week was amazing and surreal. I choose to sleep on deck instead of my cabin and sleeping underneath the millions of stars is breath taking! The days were filled with a lot of swimming, as well as times to relax and/or craft.
I 100% recommend the retreat organised by Merdreams! I went in 2022 and it was such a lovely and amazing experience! The organisation, Lelie en Evi are both amazing and lovely. They are amazing instructors! They put together such an awesome itinerary.
The boat and crew were amazing and the food was really good (and this is coming from a picky eater). I am planning to go back in 2024 because of how of an amazing experience it was!”

Hi, we are Evi & Lelie
In 2019 they we together on a mermaid trip to Egypt. And that a where we decided: “One day we’ll organise trips too.”
Both were already teaching mermaiding by then.
In 2020 Evi became an SSI mermaid instructor, Lelie became it in 2021.
This gave them the last boost to actually organise the merdreams retreat.
Love, the Merdreams team♥️
