A World of Connection

TMA was set up in July 2014 by Meg Beresford and Paul John Dear with a view to supporting Wiston Lodge whilst meeting the following aims:

• Promote and develop all forms of Music and Art at Wiston and the surrounding rural community
• Provide education and training opportunities for musicians and artists, both local and international
• Explore the links between music, arts and ecology.
• Create spaces for Mindfulness and Peace

Announcement 21.03.2026

Over the last years at Tinto Music and Arts we were blessed to be able to produce a number of stand out programs and offer people from all over the world an opportunity to deepen connection with one another through music.

We are thankful for all whose path crossed ours in that time.

We have now decided to let things be for a while for a number of reasons and will cease to run retreats at Wiston Lodge.

Paul is planning to offer retreats from another location in the Highlands of Scotland somewhere along the road so please stay tuned for more on that.
