About Wasing Estate

At Wasing, we see things differently. That we are inherently part of nature and that what harms the planet ultimately harms us. Everything is connected. Wasing Wellbeing is a dedicated & unique space for revitalising and healing experiences, guiding your journey towards powerful personal care and sustainable health and wellness. These sessions take place at Wasing’s beautiful Yoga Pavilion.

Please note:

Not recommended for those with pacemakers, metal implants, tinnitus, sound sensitive conditions or epilepsy or those who are pregnant in their 1st trimester. We do not offer any medical advice whatsoever. You attend the event at your own risk. If you have any health-related queries, please consult with your Doctor before making a booking. T&C’s apply

We will then journey into the ancient woodlands at Wasing estate for a guided forest bathing session.

Mindful time spent in nature has been shown to boost our immune system, improve sleep, increase energy levels, reduce stress, and improve mental wellbeing.

A pause for a delicious vegetarian lunch

Lovingly prepared by Colline’s Kitchen, using fresh and locally sourced ingredients.

The group will then be guided through some gentle Qi Gong exercises and shown some acupressure points.

Qi Gong helps to regulate lymphatic flow, connects us to our bodies, and helps clear any stagnant energy. It has many health benefits, can bring clarity and focus to the mind and is very gentle so suitable for all levels of fitness.

Visy will guide everybody through the drum making The day will close with a deeply relaxing gong bath and a carefully crafted goody bag to take home with you.

Gong Baths use vibrations to bring the body into a state of rest. As a result of today’s hectic lifestyle, our nervous system can spend a lot of time in ‘fight or flight’ . The vibrations during a Gong Bath lower the brain waves, bringing you into the ‘rest and digest’ state, where your body can start to regenerate and heal at a cellular level.

Tania & Monica are passionate about sharing these restorative practices, and you will be shown techniques that you can take home with you to incorporate into your daily routine, as well as being gifted a carefully crafted goody bag.

Sunday Soul Retreat includes:

• Cacao
• Forest Bathing session in ancient woodlands
• Delicious vegetarian lunch
• Guided Qigong session
• Gong Bath
