Solstice Sound Bath for Yuletide Yawning

Held the day after the solstice, this sound bath invites you to linger in the soft, velvety energy of the longest night — that deep midwinter hush where the world turns inward, the light begins its slow return, and our bodies instinctively crave rest.

Amid the swirl of Christmas chaos, this session offers a spacious pause. A moment to unwind your nervous system, breathe a little deeper, and gently release the tension that gathers at this time of year.

Through the soothing resonance of Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls, therapeutic percussion, gong, voice, and the warm hum of the shruti box, you’ll be guided into a state of replenishing stillness — a place where clarity arises without effort and the whole body is invited to soften.

This is a chance to attune to the quieter rhythms beneath the seasonal busy-ness, to reconnect with what feels nourishing and true, and to rest in the enveloping energies of the solstice.

Let this be your exhale,

your release,

your midwinter cocoon,

your Yuletide yawn

A moment to soften, stretch, centre, and emerge feeling more grounded, spacious, and rooted. Releasing tension and regaining harmony...

The soothing sound is intended to balance your nervous system, and help you gain clarity so you can step into your next phase feeling refreshed renewed and more you...Think of it as a massage for your soul!

Before journeying with sound, we’ll gently move through embodiment practices and a themed guided meditation to open your awareness and tap into your inner landscape. There’s also the option to deepen your experience with ceremonial cacao—a heart-opening elixir—available for an additional £5. (* See notes below for more information about cacao*)

More on Sound Healing

Sound therapy is a powerful practice rooted in ancient traditions from cultures around the world. By helping you enter altered states of consciousness, therapeutic sound slows your brainwaves, calms your nervous system, and opens pathways for emotional, physical, and energetic healing.

It’s a way to listen deeply — to your body, your heart, your intuition — and to access the kind of rest that restores you on every level.
