As the wheel of the year turns and day and night come into perfect balance, join us for an Autumn Equinox & Harvest Full Moon Day Retreat, a nourishing immersion in rest, reflection, and renewal. Together we'll honour the changing season, celebrating the abundance of the harvest while gently preparing to slow down and embrace the quieter months ahead.

We begin the day in an opening circle, arriving with intention before stepping into nature for a mindful hike around Buckland Park Lake. Surrounded by the rich colours and stillness of early autumn, you'll be invited to experience the invigorating practice of wild swimming, a refreshing reminder of our connection to the natural world and its ever-changing rhythms.

From there, we move into the warmth of Savu Sauna, embracing the restorative contrast of sauna and cold plunge. This ancient practice encourages deep relaxation, supports the nervous system, and leaves you feeling grounded, clear, and restored.

Afterwards, we travel just 8 minutes to Rise Wellbeing Studio, where the pace softens even further. You'll be welcomed into a calm, cosy space designed to help you settle, exhale, and fully embrace the art of rest.

A wholesome, seasonal lunch will be served, followed by quiet time to pause, reflect, journal, or simply be—honouring the many forms of rest our bodies and minds crave as the seasons shift.

The afternoon unfolds with gentle yoga, layered seamlessly with an immersive sound bath, inviting deep restoration, integration, and a sense of inner balance beneath the energy of the Harvest Full Moon.

This carefully curated day celebrates the wisdom of autumn, balancing movement with stillness, connection with solitude, and activity with deep rest. As nature begins to let go, you'll be invited to do the same, leaving feeling grounded, nourished, and deeply connected to yourself and the rhythms of the natural world.
