SATURDAY 22ND AUGUST, 5.30 – 6.45 PM | 3,500

Take a moment to slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself in this deeply restorative sound healing session with Neal Dodhia. Rooted & Grounded is designed to help you feel safe, stable, and connected to the earth through the soothing vibrations of sound. As you are guided into a state of deep relaxation, the calming frequencies of crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments will help quiet the mind, release tension, and restore a sense of balance. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply in need of a peaceful reset, this session offers a nurturing space to reconnect with your inner calm and leave feeling centred, grounded, and refreshed. No previous experience is needed. Simply come as you are, relax, and allow the sounds to support your journey back to balance.

CLAY & CALM: ROOTS & WINGS WITH OLASTYLE STUDIO

SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST, 2.00 – 3.30 PM| 2,500

What grounds you? What sets you free?
A reflective Clay & Calm experience exploring the balance between stability and growth. Through clay, participants create two complementary pieces, one representing their roots, the people, values, and experiences that ground them, and the other symbolising their wings, the dreams, possibilities, and parts of themselves ready to grow. A slow, expressive session focused on presence over perfection, inviting you to reconnect with where you’ve come from and embrace where you’re going. Each participant leaves with two meaningful pieces that tell the story of both grounding and becoming. The session ends with a gentle optional reflection circle. A calm, creative experience designed for self-discovery, intention, and growth.
