Afternoon Sanctuary is a spacious, peaceful place you can use as your grounding reset or safe space to think.
You're invited to savour:
Four peaceful hours at Songbird Sanctuary (1–5pm)
Optional opening & closing short & sweet guided meditations
Time to move freely between the hot tub, sauna and cold plunges.
Quiet indoor and outdoor spaces for reading (we have a little library of spiritual, wellness books), resting or being unproductive.
Guided breath work, meditation or reflective journaling (optional)
Exceptional homemade cakes, herbal teas & refreshments.
Afternoon Sanctuary
A spacious, health-giving afternoon to reflect & reset.
Enjoy four unhurried hours and the headspace to begin dreaming about what's next.
Move between the sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. Do a little yoga or stretching on the grass. Sit under the trees and feel the breeze on your face. Dip into a book from our little library or write in your journal.
This is the mini version of that solo holiday you’ve never been quite brave enough to take, yet… And with no need to get on a plane.
Also, you don’t even have to arrive on time.
Coming on your own:
This meditative afternoon is designed for women attending on their own. This helps create a quiet and reflective atmosphere, intentionally different to normal life.
If you're looking for quality time to chat with friends or family, a private sauna session is recommended and is perfect for socialising in a healthy, fun way!
“An amazing evening that felt really indulgent and nourishing. The space is really beautiful and Alice was so calm and welcoming.
Initially a bit nervous as I went by myself but I was instantly at ease and made to feel welcome.
A special evening. Thanks Alice!” Laura R
