WELCOME TO OUR RETREATS & EVENTS PAGE

We love creating these gatherings throughout the year, a chance to slow down, connect and share something special together. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for more, it’s always a joy to welcome you.

Summer Solstice Sound, Fire & Ice

Thursday 25th June

Step away from the noise of everyday life and join us for a beautiful summer morning of rest, connection and nervous system reset.

Set in Emma’s private outdoor therapy space, this special Summer Solstice experience brings together the calming power of sound, breath, heat and cold in nature.

Begin with a deeply relaxing sound bath guided by Liz from The Sacred Garden Sanctuary, allowing your body and mind to soften and unwind. You’ll then be gently guided through contrast therapy with sauna and cold plunge experiences in a warm, supportive environment.

Expect fire, ice, connection, laughter and moments of stillness shared with a gorgeous group of women. A chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself and embrace the energy of the summer season.

Herbal teas and nourishing snacks will be provided.

✨ No experience needed
✨ Gentle, supportive guidance throughout
✨ Small group experience
