Forest Therapy

With Lady Northampton

Within ancient woods, a living, breathing setting 
for calm and reflection.

​

Guided by Lady Northampton, a certified forest therapist and integrative psychotherapist, this slow, small-group walk combines gentle meditation, sensory invitation and quiet contemplation among the trees
to leave with a fresh perspective.

Gong Bath

With Kanti Freeman

A sound-led journey through resonance, stillness

and release.

 

Lie back as the resonant tones of gongs, singing bowls and therapeutic instruments unfold around you. Guided by Kanti Freeman, an experienced sound practitioner, this immersive monthly ritual offers time to pause, soften the noise and settle into a quieter rhythm.
