Through sound, we'll release tension, set intentions for the coming months, and align with the natural cycles of the earth. May this Autumn Equinox Soundbath offer you peace, balance, and renewal as you embrace the coming season.

Join us for a serene morning of deep relaxation in the heart of the 10 Trees garden in Bamford.
