Before the Retreat:

In the days leading up to the Summer Solstice Sauna Retreat, you might find yourself feeling drained, disconnected, or mentally overstretched. Perhaps your body feels tense from long hours of work, parenthood or stress, your mind cluttered with endless to-do lists, or your energy levels low as you juggle responsibilities. You may be craving stillness, clarity, and a way to reset, yet struggle to find the time or space to fully switch off.

Maybe you feel the weight of a demanding schedule, a sense of stagnation, a longing for deeper creativity or connection —to yourself, to nature, and to a like-minded community. You could be seeking something more than just relaxation, something transformative that leaves you feeling recharged, grounded, and alive.

After the Retreat:

As you step away from the retreat, everything feels different.

Your body is lighter, freer, and deeply restored, thanks to movement, meditation, sound healing, sauna therapy, and the power of the cold plunge. Muscular tension has softened, circulation is flowing, and a newfound energy pulses through you.

Mentally, the noise has quieted. You feel clear, focused, and present, with space to breathe and a renewed sense of purpose. Stress has melted away, replaced by an unmistakable sense of calm and clarity.

Emotionally, there’s a deep feeling of connection—to nature, to the people around you, and most importantly, to yourself. The firelit circle will give you a chance to share (if you feel called to), reflect, and be seen in a way that feels authentic and uplifting.

As you leave, wrapped in warmth from the fire and the people around you, you realise this wasn’t just a day off—it was a complete reset. A turning point. A chance to step forward into summer with renewed energy, confidence, and clarity.

You return home feeling grounded, strong, and reconnected.

And that feeling? It stays with you long after the retreat is over.
