Afternoon Sanctuary is a peaceful place you can use as your grounding reset after a busy summer or healthy space to gather your thoughts and energy.
You're invited to savour:
Four tranquil hours at Songbird Sanctuary (1–5pm).
Optional guided opening & closing meditations.
Time to linger in the hot tub, sauna and (maybe) cold plunges.
Quiet indoor and outdoor spaces for reading (we have a curated library of spiritual & wellness books), resting or being unproductive.
Guided breath work, meditation or reflective journaling (optional)
Seasonal and healthy homemade cakes, herbal teas & refreshments.
Afternoon Sanctuary
A spacious Sanctuary for you to reflect & reset this autumn.
Enjoy four unhurried hours and the headspace to reflect on what’s next for you in this new autumn season.
At your own pace, move between the Finnish sauna, luxury hot tub and cold plunges. Maybe do a little yoga or stretching on the grass.
Sit under the trees and feel the breeze on your face or perhaps spend some time reading something intriguing in a book from our little library or therapeutic writing using some prompts we can suggest.
There will be optional guided meditations to join too.
This is the mini version of that solo retreat 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. This is time set aside for you to go at your own pace and please only yourself.
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
