Wellbeing Offerings
Solstice offers a carefully curated collection of wellbeing experiences set in the woodlands of Wasing. Some are included within your general admission whilst others are intimate, small-group sessions that require advance booking. These offerings will be available to select soon.
Wild Swimming
Located at our Wild Swim Lake
Take a zingy dip in our woodland lake which lies at the heart of Wasing Estate. Surrounded by ancient trees, it’s the most serene spot to enjoy a rejuvenating swim and relaxing time in nature. Wild swimming is included with all Solstice general admission tickets so be sure to bring your swimwear and a towel if you fancy a splash.
Woodfired Sauna
Located at our Wild Swim Lake
After a swim in the lake, rewarm in our beautifully crafted, woodfired sauna. Its calming atmosphere with natural light from its panoramic window overlooking the lake makes it the perfect spot to unwind. The gentle heat of the wood burner, paired with cold water immersion in the lake, delivers powerful benefits for body and mind, helping to support circulation, ease achy muscles, reduce inflammation, boost energy, and strengthen immune response.
Woodland Meditation
Saturday 20th June 2026 1pm-3pm & 3.30pm-5.30pm
During this year’s Solstice at Wasing, we are offering you the chance to explore the ancient woodlands and be fully immersed in the healing properties of nature.
In today’s modern times it is so easy to become disconnected from our natural world.
Modern living can easily trigger the sympathetic nervous system, and without the chance to reset we can see an increase in chronic stress disorders.
Being immersed in nature reconnects us to the rhythms of the natural world and helps foster recovery from mental fatigue.
Mindful time spent in nature has been shown to boost our immune system, improve sleep, increase energy levels, reduce stress, and improve mental wellbeing.
Based on the principles of Shinrin Yoku, also known as Forest Bathing, you will be guided through the woodlands, immersing yourself in nature, whilst engaging your senses.
These sessions will offer you the chance to slow down, be present and mindful, and to reconnect to this awe-inspiring planet.
Forest Yoga
Saturday 20th June 2026 1pm-2.30pm
This 90-minute Forest Yoga session is designed to help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your inner strength. Forest Yoga combines intelligent sequencing, a strong core focus, and deep breathing to build strength, release tension, and cultivate greater awareness in the body.
Through a grounding and energising practice, you will be guided to move with intention, awaken vitality, and deepen your connection to yourself. The session invites you to slow down, listen inwardly, and explore the powerful relationship between breath, body, and presence.
Aligned with the spirit of the Solstice, this practice will also create space to honour the turning of the seasons — letting go of what no longer serves and welcoming renewed energy, clarity, and intention.
The session is open to all levels and offers both strength and nourishment, so that you leave feeling more connected, open, and revitalised.

Gong Bath
Sunday 21st June 2026 8.30am-9.30am
This immersive gong bath invites you to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience deep rest through sound. Held within the heart of the woodlands at Wasing, this session creates space to pause, breathe, and settle into the rhythms of nature.
We begin with a short guided meditation to help you settle and bring focus to your intentions. This gentle introduction allows the body and mind to soften, preparing you to fully receive the experience that follows.
From there, you will be bathed in the sounds of the gongs and other instruments. Their rich vibrations move through the body and the surrounding space, encouraging deep relaxation while gently helping to realign your energy and bring you back into balance.
This session offers a moment to honour the turning of the seasons — a time to release what no longer serves and welcome a renewed sense of clarity, calm, and intention.
Open to all, the session offers a restorative and nourishing experience, allowing you to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and deeply restored.
