Songbird Sanctuary wellbeing in Oakwood Leeds

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

    “Attended the Silent Sauna on 9 Nov. Quite astonishing that such a tranquil and beautiful slice of natural beauty is tucked away in this corner of Leeds. Alice was an exemplary host, the sauna and cold plunge were fantastic, the environment is conducive to total relaxation. Without a doubt will be going again, would recommend to anyone considering a visit to give it a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.”

    “A beautiful and tranquil garden setting for the Songbird Sanctuary. Had a memorable time with friends enjoying the hot, cold and relaxing facilities. Everything is beautifully presented and Alice took great care to ensure that we knew how to utilise all the facilities safely and their benefits to us.”

    “I have never been a fan of the cold water phenomenon but my mind has been officially changed. Having got so hot in the sauna it was actually refreshing and quite bearable at 9 degrees. I may have only lasted a minute but the effects hit me immediately. A gorgeous tingling all over body feeling and mind clarity. Just enough time left to dry off back in the gorgeous yoga studio where we were served Fresh Thyme Tea and home made peanut butter cookies and protein balls.”
