Rooted Resonance
Forest Bathing & Sound Healing
Join us at West Horsley Place for a nourishing one-day retreat to honour the coming of summer and reconnect with nature’s rhythm.
Begin in the barn with a sound journey meditation, where you’ll experience sound not just through hearing but through sensation. Surrounded by the powerful tones of three 42-inch gongs, additional gongs, singing bowls, and gentle percussion, the rich vibrations create a deeply immersive and therapeutic connection between mind, body, and sound.
Next, guided forest bathing in our ancient woodland — May arrives in tender fullness, and the ancient woodland at West Horsley Place is alive with emergence: fresh leaves unfurling in soft greens, bluebells fading into seed, wild garlic lingering in the air, and light shifting through a canopy not yet at its fullest. This is a season of becoming, where spring holds both delicacy and momentum, and the earth feels newly awake. Here, guided forest bathing becomes an immersive sensory experience, an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and attune to the quiet magic of the forest, not as a hike, but as a mindful journey into stillness, presence, and the gentle unfolding of a world in transformation.
Leave feeling deeply restored, centred, and ready for the season ahead.
