The Dreaming
A product range that carries The Dreaming beyond the retreat.
The Big Idea
A distinctive range of wellness products and guided rituals that allows people to bring the experience of The Dreaming into everyday life.
We propose a staged development programme to create The Dreaming’s own range of wellness products and rituals.
NADA would identify and validate the strongest initial products, then manage everything from concept and formulation through to sourcing, branding, packaging, compliance and launch.
The Dreaming would shape the creative direction, retain final approval and own the range. We would begin with a small, carefully selected collection and expand once proven.

Benefits of an Own-brand Product Range
Create a new revenue stream
Products can generate income on-site, online and through carefully selected retail partners.
Extend the experience
Guests can take part of The Dreaming home and continue its rituals beyond their stay.
Deepen brand connection
Physical products create regular touchpoints between visits and help build long-term loyalty.
Reach beyond the retreat
The range allows people who cannot visit The Dreaming to experience and engage with the brand.
Support repeat purchase
Replenishable products such as oils, balms, salts and home fragrance encourage ongoing sales.
Create natural gifting opportunities
Gift sets, seasonal editions and retreat keepsakes can increase average spend and attract new customers.
Build a valuable brand asset
Over time, an own-brand range can become a distinctive commercial platform in its own right.
Built-in Distribution
Sample Commercials
These illustrative figures show how accessible, mid-market and premium products could perform when sold directly on-site or through The Dreaming’s website.
Indicative figures only. COGS assumes finished product and packaging at viable production volumes. Gross profit is calculated before fulfilment, payment fees, delivery, promotions and wider operating costs. Final pricing and margins would be refined once product formats, specifications and order volumes are agreed. Mark-up is calculated using net sales excluding VAT.

FAQs
The key commercial and practical questions.
How would the commercial arrangement work?
We would agree a clear scope, fixed fees and staged payments before work begins. NADA would manage development and launch, working transparently with manufacturers to compare options and balance product quality, unit costs and supply reliability. The Dreaming would approve each stage, retain creative and commercial control, and own the resulting brand and commissioned IP, including formulation ownership and any third-party rights.
Would this require launching a large range?
No. The wider opportunity can be explored first, before selecting a small number of products for sampling and testing.
Would we need to make a large financial commitment?
The ideas shown here demonstrate how the collection could grow over time. We would begin with two or three carefully selected hero products offering the strongest brand fit, commercial potential and opportunity for repeat purchase.
Who would manage formulation, manufacturing and compliance?
NADA can coordinate the complete process, including product development, supplier selection, safety and compliance, packaging, production and launch preparation.
How much time would be required from The Dreaming team?
The process would be structured around a small number of focused workshops and approval stages. NADA would manage the detailed development work between them.
How would we know whether people wanted the products?
Concepts, pricing and samples could be tested with retreat guests and The Dreaming’s existing community before committing to significant stock.
Would we have to sell through major retailers?
No. The most natural starting point would be The Dreaming’s retreat and website. Selective retail would remain an optional future opportunity after demand had been demonstrated.
Could the collection be developed responsibly?
Yes. Ingredient sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, refillability and environmental standards would be agreed before suppliers were appointed.
Who would own the brand and products?
We work on a consultancy basis, with no claims to any of The Dreaming's intellectual property. The Dreaming would retain 100% ownership and approval of its name, identity, product formulations and supply chain.
What would the first step involve?
A short exploratory stage to understand The Dreaming’s ambitions and non-negotiables, identify the strongest opportunities, and establish indicative costs and commercial viability - without committing to manufacture.
Explore the opportunity
This is an initial vision, not a fixed proposal. We would love to hear your thoughts, understand your ambitions and explore what a distinctive product range could look like for The Dreaming.
