SUMMARY:Candlelight Yoga Nidra and Sound bath
DESCRIPTION:As the day comes to a close\, you’re invited into a space designed for deep rest and gentle unwinding.\n  \nThis evening Yoga Nidra and sound bath begins at 7pm — a time when the body is naturally ready to slow down\, soften\, and let go of the day. The space will be softly lit by candlelight\, creating a calm and settled atmosphere from the moment you arrive. \nWe begin with Yoga Nidra\, a guided practice that allows you to drop beneath thinking and into a state of conscious rest. Here\, the nervous system can reset\, and the mind can begin to quiet without effort. \nFrom there\, the sound bath unfolds. Resonant tones from gongs and bowls move through the body in slow\, immersive waves — not to force relaxation\, but to gently remove the conditions that keep the system activated. \nThere is nothing to do\, nowhere to get to.Simply lie down\, get comfortable\, and allow the body to be supported. \nThe soft candlelight\, the stillness of the evening\, and the depth of the sound combine to create a space where you can fully switch off — even if just for a while. \nA simple\, beautiful way to end the day and return to yourself. \n  \nThe 9th of April 2026\n7pm – 9pm\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Book Here

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon Yoga Nidra and Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:Nourishing the Mind\, Body and Soul\nYoga Nidra\, often referred to as “yogic sleep\,” is an ancient technique that induces a state of deep relaxation while maintaining conscious awareness. This practice has gained significant recognition for its ability to influence brainwave activity and promote numerous physical and mental health benefits. \nYoga Nidra is a guided meditation rooted in ancient yogic traditions that follows a systematic relaxation process. Researchers who have studied it have found that the brain goes into a unique state where it is asleep\, while we’re actually awake and conscious. Apart from being deeply relaxing\, being in this state also unlocks several mental\, physical\, and emotional benefits. \nSound enters the healing equation from several directions: It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may becalm the mind and therefore the body; or it may have emotional effects\, which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides\, which in turn help to regulate the immune system—the healer within. \n  \n\n\nLet the sound carry you into peace\nLet the stillness remind you what truly matters\n  \nStay afterwards for tea in The pantry\, a peaceful walk through the gardens\, or browse our Store for soulful\, handcrafted gifts. \n  \nLimited places – please book early to reserve your mat. \nThe price for these sessions includes entrance to the Sculpture Park for the day\, apart from our evening Sound Baths. All tickets are non – refundable; however\, you’re very welcome to transfer your place to a friend or family member if you’re unable to attend.\n\n  \n“Simon’s sound bath was an incredible journey into deep relaxation and healing. At one point\, I completely lost awareness of my body—truly profound! His beautiful use of Himalayan singing bowls (my favourites)\, especially around and over my body\, created a profound sense of calm and rest. The integration of various instruments\, each serving a unique purpose in the sound bath\, left me feeling weightless by the end. I walked away feeling serene\, rejuvenated\, and completely restored.” – Ali P.\n  \n“Simon’s sound bath was a powerful exploration into deep rest and healing. As a facilitator I have experienced many sound journeys\, this experience was exceptional. I felt safe\, gently held and deeply nurtured.” – Pip T.\n  \n“A wonderful serene player\, Gentle like a hummingbird….  A man who knows his Singing bowls… Simon respectfully listens to the vibrations of sound and intuitively connects with them… my body floated and I shed a tear of gratitude full of love for the world.” – Dianne G.\n  \nReserve your space here:\n\n      \n        \n      \n     \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sound Baths at Sculpture by the Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Nourishing the Mind\, Body and Soul\n  \nWe are running a series of Sound Baths in The Retreat at Sculpture by the Lakes. These sessions incorporate a range of sound instruments\, including Himalayan bowls\, wind gongs\, crystal bowls\, Koshi chimes\, and shamanic drums\, which have a unique ability to relax and calm the nervous system. This can bring your mind into alpha and theta brainwave patterns\, which is the restful\, creative states. \nSound enters the healing equation from several directions: it may alter cellular function through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may calm the mind and\, therefore\, the body; or it may have emotional effects that influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides\, which in turn help regulate the immune system\, the healer within. \n  \n\n\n\n  \n“Simon’s sound bath was an incredible journey into deep relaxation and healing.

SUMMARY:Lunar Retreats
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a series of enchanting evenings celebrating the moon’s magic! Immerse yourself in a cacao ceremony\, sipping rich\, heart-opening cacao as we set intentions under the dark sky\, embracing fresh beginnings. Feel the pulse of connection in our drum circle—bring your own or use ours—as rhythmic beats unite us\, shaking loose old energy. Then\, surrender to a sound bath\, where crystal bowls and gongs weave a sonic tapestry\, washing away tension and aligning you with the lunar cycle. This is more than an event; it’s a journey of renewal\, grounded in nature’s rhythm. No experience needed—just an open heart. Hosted in a serene outdoor space and The Retreat\, these nights promise warmth\, community\, and transformation. \n\n\n  \nNew Moon\nThe new moon carries deep holistic significance\, harmonising body\, mind\, and spirit in its quiet\, dark embrace. As the lunar cycle’s starting point\, it’s a potent time for renewal\, inviting introspection and the planting of intentions. Physically\, its subtle gravitational shift can foster a sense of calm or fatigue\, aligning with the body’s need for rest and reset. Mentally\, the new moon encourages stillness\, offering a blank slate to release old patterns and envision fresh goals. Spiritually\, it symbolises beginnings— a void rich with potential—celebrated in rituals like cacao ceremonies or drumming that ground and inspire. Across cultures\, it’s a moment to connect with nature’s rhythms\, honouring the unseen forces of growth. Holistically\, the new moon balances surrender and creation\, urging us to trust the process as we nurture seeds of change in the fertile darkness before the waxing light emerges. \n\n  \n\nFull Moon\nThe full moon holds profound holistic significance\, uniting body\, mind\, and spirit in its luminous embrace. Energetically\, it marks the peak of the lunar cycle\, amplifying emotions\, intuition\, and inner clarity. In many traditions\, it’s a time for culmination—harvesting intentions set at the new moon and releasing what no longer serves. Physically\, its gravitational pull subtly influences tides and bodily fluids\, often heightening sensitivity or restlessness\, as noted in anecdotal reports of sleep disruption. Mentally\, the full moon invites reflection\, illuminating hidden thoughts or patterns under its bright gaze. Spiritually\, it’s a beacon of connection—to nature\, community\, and the cosmos—celebrated in rituals like cacao ceremonies or sound baths that deepen presence. Holistically\, it’s a moment to balance yin and yang: embracing both light and shadow\, action and surrender\, as the moon mirrors life’s cycles of growth and renewal. \n\n  \n\n  \n  \nCacao Ceremony\nWe will gather around a fire (weather permitting) for a Cacao Ceremony and Drum Circle. (Drums will be provided or you can bring your own) \nThe benefits of participating in a cacao ceremony are manifold. Here are just a few of the transformative effects that this sacred ritual can bring: \n1. Heart-opening and emotional healing: Cacao’s unique properties can help individuals release emotional blockages\, heal past traumas\, and cultivate self-love\, forgiveness\, and empathy. \n2. Enhanced creativity and intuition: By quieting the mind and stimulating the brain\, cacao ceremonies encourage individuals to tap into their innate creativity\, intuition\, and higher consciousness. \n3. Connection and community: The shared experience of a cacao ceremony fosters a profound sense of unity and connection among participants\, promoting a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life. \n4. Stress reduction and relaxation: The calming effects of cacao\, combined with the soothing elements of the ceremony\, can alleviate stress and anxiety\, allowing participants to sink into a state of deep relaxation. \n\n  \n\nDrum Circle\nA drum circle is a communal gathering where we play shamanic drums and percussion instruments in a rhythmic\, often improvised flow. Rooted in ancient traditions across many cultures\, drum circles are used for celebration\, healing\, and community bonding. They can be facilitated by a leader or entirely spontaneous\, creating a shared\, meditative musical experience. \nOne of the primary benefits of a drum circle is stress relief and emotional expression. The repetitive\, rhythmic drumming helps induce a meditative state\, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. The physical act of drumming also allows participants to release built-up emotions\, fostering a sense of emotional freedom. \nDrumming has been shown to support physical health by improving coordination\, boosting the immune system\, and even reducing blood pressure. The rhythmic vibrations stimulate the brain\, enhancing focus\, concentration\, and cognitive function. \nOn a deeper level\, drum circles encourage social connection and unity. Drumming together synchronises heartbeats and breathing patterns\, fostering a sense of belonging and shared energy. It breaks down social barriers\, creating an inclusive space for self-expression. \nSpiritually\, drum circles can be grounding and empowering\, helping individuals feel more connected to themselves\, others\, and the present moment. Whether for healing\, creativity\, or joy\, drum circles offer a powerful and transformative experience. \n\n\n  \nSound Bath\nWe will then move into the Retreat to immerse yourself in the soothing vibrations of a healing sound bath\, where the therapeutic tones of singing bowls\, gongs\, and other sacred instruments will wash over you. This enchanting auditory experience will ease physical tension\, calm your mind\, and leave you feeling balanced and harmonized on every level. \nOur evening retreat offers a truly transformative journey of self-discovery and renewal\, integrating ancient wisdom with modern practices to provide a comprehensive experience like no other. Reserve your spot today and prepare to embrace a new level of personal growth\, well-being\, and inner harmony. \n  \nAll tickets are non-refundable; however\, you’re very welcome to transfer your place to a friend or family member if you’re unable to attend.\n  \n  \nReserve your place here:
