Summer Solstice Half-Day Retreat Wimborne
Honouring the Inner Light & the Peak of the Sun – Summer Solstice half-day retreat
Join us at the height of the sun for a ceremonial half-day retreat honouring the Summer Solstice—the moment when daylight reaches its peak. This is a potent time to pause and take stock: to recognise what is thriving, what needs clearing, and what you want to carry forward into the second half of the year.
Set within the hundreds-of-years-old ancient woodland at Gaunts House, you will be invited to attune to the frequency of midsummer through:
- Solstice Breathwork: Inspired by the sunflower to energise and align.
- Immersive Forest Bathing: A deep reconnection led by expert guidance.
- Light Body Activation: A guided meditation held in the heart of nature.
- Heart-Opening Ceremony: Experience the medicine of the Summer Rose through cordials, teas, and a special anointing oil gift.
- Reiki-Infused Sound Bath: A profound state of relaxation to balance body and mind.
- Nourishing Treats: Closing with herbal tea and a delicious vegan treat by Tribe Kitchen.

Accessibility: Forest bathing takes place on uneven terrain; this experience is suitable for those who are stable underfoot.
Inclusivity: We offer a tiered ticket system to ensure well-being remains accessible to all.
Policy: No pets allowed on the estate for this event.
