Come join us to celebrate the abundance of the natural world this Beltane!
This is a time of year marked by fertility, growth and light. A time of year where we feel drawn to nature, to soak our winter-cooled faces in sunlight, and rejoice with the blossoming trees.
So join us as we celebrate the simple pleasures of being alive at this time of year, with sauna bathing, cold plunges, storytelling and the sharing of a seasonal feast around the beltane fire.
Whether you feel your internal world is aligned with the energy of this season, or you are struggling to shake off winter, this is a space to connect with your body, your soul and community, and reflect on the incredible rejuvenating power of the natural world to which you belong.
This event is not therapy, but is a therapeutic space and may therefore bring up strong emotions or memories. We work with traditional stories from around the world that can include triggering content. Your hosts are trained dramatherapists with experience in yoga teaching, community theatre and storytelling, and will be there to hold you through the session. The food will be lovingly cooked by local Chef Andy Pycroft

Allow the Now: Sauna MeditationA space to train the mind, challenge the body, and refine your focus.
This is a practice of deep presence.
As the heat rises, your body must focus on regulating itself. This journey is about tuning into the present moment, feeling the vibrations within and around you, and strengthening the connection between mind and body. With the resonance of sound healing in the sauna, breath awareness, and deep internal focus, we explore what it means to be fully here—not escaping, not resisting, but working with what is.
What to Expect:
• An Introduction to the evening to introduce the practice
• A guided meditation to teach you the breath, awareness and focus to guide you through the hour
• Rotations of sauna, cold plunge, and rest to sharpen mental focus and resilience. These rotations are self guided so that you can build your confidence of understanding what your body is asking for and honouring yourself and health in this session. (For newbies, Guppy will guide you through the first rotation)
• Crystal Singing bowls are played inside the sauna creating a vibration of deep meditation stimulating creativity, intuition & inner exploration
• A closing meditation to seal the journey
* Please be aware that Noble Silence is practiced during this hour — Noble Silence is the intentional practice of quieting speech and external distractions to deepen inner awareness and mindfulness.
Afterwards, you’re invited to join us for a mildly facilitated casual rehydration and gathering to share experiences, ask questions, build community and reintegrate insights from the session.
