Sound and Ground, Thetford (2026)

13/04/2026

Space to exhale, feel your shoulders drop and let the forest restore you.
Join us next week at High Lodge, Thetford Forest - Forestry England for our Spring edition of Wellness Wednesday, a restful day curated by Sound practitioner & forest bathing guide - Norfolk/Suffolk for slowing down and tuning into the beauty of Spring.

These quarterly seasonally aligned days offer you a retreat style experience at a fraction of the price.
Choose from either a morning Forest bathing session (shinrin yoku) or a cosy afternoon sound bath - or book both and made a day of it. There is time in the middle of the day to bring your own lunch or visit the onsite cafe. All day parking discounted to just £4 invites you to stay as long as you please to wander amongst the trees and enjoy all High Lodge has to offer.

The birds are singing their songs, and the symphony of Spring is being played - the forest is just waiting for you to come and listen… 🌸🪺🎶🪶☀️

Pre- booking essential as numbers are limited, and just a few tickets remain.
As part of the our High Lodge members week, there is also an exclusive 50% discount for High Lodge members on the session of your choice on this day too!

Let me paint a picture for you in sound, of how the sunlight meanders through the trees, birdsong, gentle spring rain, blossoms, tender shoots rising up through the earth after their winter rest.

Each of my sound baths is rooted in the rhythm of nature - an hour of resonant rest in sound to tune in and realign.

I play softly. Layers of sounds and space to let them land. Inviting you as the listener to lean in.
It’s not loud, life is loud enough.
I don’t promise healing, revelations or awakenings.
Just sound. Space held for you to take what is needed and set down what is not.
The music of the natural world, which you too are part of.

I’m offering very limited numbers of sound baths each month to be more intentional and present in my work and my life.
So this month there’s just three sound baths at either Brandon Country Park, Brandon or High Lodge, Thetford Forest - Forestry England to choose from, there are currently limited spaces at all, if you feel drawn you’re invited to book and join me and my instruments in these beautiful (indoor) spaces nestled in the forest.

Sunlight steadily increasing, blossoms blooming then fluttering to the ground like snow. Wild garlic, nettle soup, buds laden with promise and bright green leaf burst in the forest. Just some of the joys of this month.

There are a few last spaces for a sound bath with me at Brandon Country Park, Brandon in Thetford forest this coming Friday night and Saturday morning. Soft, seasonally aligned and resonant rest.

Spring edition of Wellness Wednesday approaches in partnership with Forestry England at High Lodge, Thetford Forest - Forestry England on Wednesday 22nd April. A retreat day experience at the fraction of a price - build your own day with forest bathing in the morning and a sound bath in the afternoon - you might choose one or both and then enjoy discounted all day parking so you can linger amongst the trees as long as you’d like to…

One last space for YinToSound on Friday 24th, my signature yin yoga and sound offering where we blend seasonal wisdom, movement to nourish, mindfulness and sound for 2 deliciously slow hours.

Pregnancy and postnatal yoga and sound continues, though this will likely be the last month I can offer these sessions due to a change in circumstances. Please support them if you can and they are relevant for you and let’s have one last month of nurturing for mums and little ones while we can.

Also this month is members week at High Lodge, Thetford Forest - Forestry England so look out for some of my exclusive discounts for members there, full details on the High Lodge website.

Via Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers LP I’m also co hosting a 3 hour immersive Spring woodland tonic session with the wonderful Jon of Wild For Woods. This is a hybrid of foraging, folklore, plant ID, forest bathing, sound and a generally ponderous wander and wondering through Brandon Country Park, Brandon - just a few spaces are left, bookable via BFER.

Big love,
Nicky 💗✨☘️🌸

It was our Spring special postnatal yoga and social for mums and little ones today and what a beautiful day for it!

The sun shone all day ☀️With beautiful views of Spring unfolding in the forest through the window, we enjoyed a steady grounding practice, gently opening through the front body, easing tension in neck and shoulders, stretching the back body and feeling ready to welcome the new possibilities of Spring.

We sang to our little bunnies 🐰 bounced, rocked, swayed, breathed and then settled into the rest of a mini crystal singing bowl meditation.

The last Thursday of each month means it’s a social session, with lunch in the onsite cafe and a walk after yoga. 🌲
More time to be in community with other mums and little ones - because sometimes we have to find our own village! And thanks to the support of High Lodge we have the most wonderful home for our sessions, and discounted all day parking, making these sessions truly community minded and accessible 💗🙏

If you’d like to join us in April there are spaces waiting for you. I’ll be taking a short break for a few weeks over Easter, back on our mats 16th April 🌷🪺

There’s a stirring, there’s a sweetness at the edge of in between. The restlessness, the quickening, the almost but not quite yet…
Maybe you feel it too? Spring Equinox has passed, there are sure signs of Spring and yet you feel depleted, a little run down, wanting to make plans but lacking energy.

Wednesday 1st April brings us to the Pink Full Moon or in our native Celtic name, the Seed moon. This is your invitation to take a pause, reflect, and acknowledge where we are in this in between time - stirring from our dreaming of Winter to the emergence of Spring.

The sounds offered will invite you to drift in this liminal space as you sow your seeds of intention for the return of life and growth that aligns with Spring - yet unhurried, steady, just like the trees in the forest all around.

There are a last few spaces remaining and I’m only offering 4 sound baths through April - if you feel drawn but can’t make it on the Full Moon then my other sessions are:
Friday evening 10th April & Saturday morning 11th April at and Wednesday afternoon on 22nd at

Yoga Nidra on Spring Equinox.
A beautiful way to softly mark this threshold moment.
The balance of night and day, treading from Winter to Spring.
Gathering in the forest, a practice created with the intention of inviting us to hold darkness in one hand, joy and gratitude in the other.

The wisdom of the trees and the natural world invites our acceptance that we all bud and bloom at our own pace. That it’s natural at this time of year to feel a desire for change and growth, yet not have the energy for it quite yet.
The trees, buds and flowers all emerge at their own sweet right moment, and so too can you.
❤️☀️🌲🌷🪺

Spring Equinox beckons.
In a world seemingly filled with darkness, here is a gentle space to find joy and celebrate the return of the light.
Darkness can only prevail for so long, hopeful Spring always comes again.

This is a limited capacity, intimate celebration in the heart of Thetford forest on Saturday 21st March.

3 courses of delicious plant based food lovingly created by Jess at who puts such heart and soul into her dishes. Her food always delights and nourishes on every level.

Slow, soft and reflective time in the forest. Gentle movement, likeminded peace loving community and connection. A Yoga Nidra sound bath for deep listening and rest, for it is the resourced hearts and souls that stay hopeful, awake, tender and able to take action.

Light is returning, you’re invited to join this celebration.

Winter has not yet fully come to pass, Spring is on her way but not yet quite here. February is our threshold month, the bridge across.

A gentle reminder from the natural world to stay low to the earth a little while yet and to gather energy with patience and trust in what is stirring beneath the earth…

✨This month there are spaces for you to join me for Yoga Nidra (I’ve had a cancellation so there is now 1 space) also for pregnancy or postnatal yoga.
🪶As there has been no availability for my sound offerings for a while, I’ve listened and opened up another birdsong sound bath for the end of this month. Please know you’re warmly welcomed if you feel called.

P.s I know I’m only just posting this and we are half way through a short month. Apologies. A whole lot of life has been happening and in order to tend to myself to hold space for you, I’ve needed a bit of a break from social platforms.
Love and snowdrops,
Nicky

This is what collective rest looks like.
When the world is heavy, it’s ok to set that down awhile. In fact it’s essential. This is the deep inner work that’s needed, rest is not a luxury.
A cosy warm space nestled amongst the trees in Thetford forest, where you can just hear the birds outside the building singing in the trees. You can feel nature holding you.
Soft textures - fluffy rugs, blankets and gentle layers of sound.
Time and space protected and held for you, in dedication of ease, rest and sound.
A community space to linger after, chat with loved ones, journal, share stories and make new friends.

These were the gatherings this weekend at - Saturday for our birdsong sound bath with the added delight of handpan by (thank you Phil, we loved it!) and Sunday to honour the full moon and the seasonal threshold of Imbolc.

Yes, it’s a sound bath, but maybe it’s more than that? Collective tending to our nervous systems and rest as resistance could be one way to describe it.
Community care another - as always huge thanks for your generous donations to which will be added to and stopped off soon.
Big Monday love,
Nicky

Step into a cosy indoor space surrounded by the forest. Birdsong fills the air and there is a mild scent of pine on the air.
Here you can lay down and rest - a warm space with a fluffy rug, soft blanket, mat, eye pillow and bolster await you.

Through a gently guided nature visualisation, softly playing British birdsong and a live immersive sound bath, you may find you’re able to drift away mentally to the forest beyond.

Saturday 31st January, 5pm at Oak Lodge, you’re invited to join us.

Birdsong has the ability to signal safety to our nervous system, reducing stress, promoting positive emotions, relaxation and restoration. The sounds of nature have a wonderful way of holding us like that. Combine this with a nature inspired live sound meditation and I hope you’ll find some inner harmony and welcome rest for body, mind and spirit.

It’s short notice I know, I had so many requests for an additional sound session to be added as next availability for and sound baths with me is in March so I’ve added this in the hope it may be just what’s needed for the moment.
Nearly the half the spaces have filled, if you would like one but are hanging in there for payday (January can feel like a very long month!) just DM me and we can arrange just a £5 deposit with the balance payable after payday 🙏
Warmly,
Nicky
