Music Creativity & Wellness Retreats
A Note From Andy Barlow
One half of the pioneering electronic duo LAMB and acclaimed producer working with renowned artists such as Damien Rice, David Gray, and U2.
In Flow Retreats is born from a lifelong journey of music, creativity, and connection, through 30 years of working in the music industry as one half of Lamb and as a music producer.
For me, music has always been more than sound—it’s a way of connecting deeply to ourselves and to others. Working with some of the world’s most extraordinary artists and co-founding Lamb, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of creativity. I wanted to create a safe place, not just for musicians but for anyone curious about the magic that is music creation - I’ve realised that all my best work has been created in the flow state. I wanted to create a space where people could access that same flow—whether through songwriting, music production, or wellness practices like yoga, breathwork, and ice immersion.
The flow state can’t be accessed from the head, it must come naturally which is why the bodywork and movement helps to access that state.
Having bought a dilapidated house in the heart of the South Downs National Park over 20 years ago, The Lookout Retreat has now evolved into a beautiful, peaceful retreat space and I’m very much looking forward to offering these unique retreats in this stunning location.
These are more than just retreats—they are journeys of self-discovery and transformation. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing these experiences with you.

What is the flow state?
The flow state is a profound and transformative experience where everything aligns, and what once seemed impossible becomes effortless. It’s the zone where singers discover their authentic voice, musicians seamlessly harmonize, and challenges transform into creative breakthroughs. In this state, mistakes become opportunities, leading the track into uncharted, inspired directions beyond the original vision. What once felt difficult becomes second nature, as if guided by an unseen force of synchronicity.
