moon sauna & swim

honouring the current of the full & new moon

honour the cycles of the moon & your connection with the nature in this beautiful sauna, sea & meditation ritual

lunar cycle

there was a time when the cycle of the moon, the rise and fall of the sun, the rhythms of the seasons guided our days. Our bodies remember. Allowing the cycles of the moon to shape our diary brings us back into relationship with nature.

sauna ritual

60 minutes of relaxation in the saltwater sauna, supported by birch tar essential oil and the invigorating joy of a cold sea dip is a healing ritual as old as time.

sometimes meditation

When the weather allows, we sometimes meet for 30 minutes of meditation in the sand dunes beside the sauna. This offers the perfect invitation for stillness & presence to drop in the body. Drawing on mindfulness practices, the meditation will guide us home to the sensation of the body.

Please note that we are offer the meditation as a bonus when the weather allows, free of charge. Each booking includes the sauna only. When the meditation is able to take place, you will be notified 24hrs ahead by email & whats app. Our meditation session will begin 30 minutes ahead of your official booking time.

“To be truly alive requires that we be present in the physical matter of our body. The heat of the sauna & the chill of the ocean offer us a portal home to ourself.”

— Sonja Lockyer
