A whole night dedicated to deep rest.

Sound, stillness, and rejuvenation.

On Saturday we held an all night gong puja to honour the Spring Equinox, raising £1015 for

The space was nourishing and calm from the start - people arriving and creating their comfy nests, settling in, setting heart felt intentions.

Through the night, something shifted.
Bodies softened. Minds quietened.
The sound of the gongs moving through and around the space, holding everything.

We awoke gently with Koshi chimes, then stepped outside into the crisp morning — barefoot on frosty grass, grounding, alive.

Thank you to everyone who came, donated, and trusted the space.
It was an honour to hold this alongside incredible gong players:

There’s something powerful about a room full of people choosing to deeply rest. When people were heading home in the morning, I felt so joyful to see their relaxed happy smiles 🤍
This work matters.

What resting looks like for me today….

A few hours by myself whilst my home ed daughter is at bushcraft. I walk very slowly, sit, breathe, be.

The calmness gradually comes, then I notice how & what I feel. The sun on my face, the earth underfoot, the soft breeze.

Then the inner feelings - discomfort at first. Then I sit with it, notice what arises. Anxiety, excitement, tiredness, joy. As I give it all space it softens, my pace slows even more. I start to feel spacious 🤍

🌿 Spring Equinox Gong Puja – An All-Night Journey Into Sacred Sound

💫 5 spaces left 💫

Saturday 21st March 2026 | 9pm – 7am
Henley-on- Thames

Join us for a deeply immersive all-night Spring Equinox Gong Puja, a sacred journey of rest, renewal and intention, held through the healing sounds of multiple gongs.

The Spring Equinox is a powerful solar festival — a moment of perfect balance between light and dark, as the Earth gently tips toward the lighter half of the year. After winter’s rest, this is a time to awaken, sow seeds, and align with what is ready to grow.

Throughout the night, you will sleep, rest, dream and journey as you are bathed in continuous waves of sound, created by several experienced master gong players. Each gong bath flows seamlessly into the next, holding you in a deeply supportive sound field until morning.

✨ What to expect
• Arrival and set-up from 9pm
• Gentle movement, breathwork and guided meditation
• A fire ceremony (weather permitting) to release what no longer serves and set intentions
• Gongs played continuously from 10.30pm – 6am
• Shunyata — 30 minutes of sacred silence
• A light breakfast served before closing at 7am

Falling asleep during a gong puja is completely natural and often a sign of deep relaxation. You are simply invited to rest and receive.

💛 A not-for-profit event
This event is offered on a not-for-profit basis, with all profits supporting who provide compassionate care and support for people at the end of life and for those living with grief.

£110 per person
Spaces are limited and booking is essential.

Thank you to the beautiful guests that came and deeply rested last night! 🙏🏻

I love being in this space - warm, quiet, candlelit. As soon as you step into the room the nervous system starts to soften and open up to rest.

As you prepare your space on your mat with blankets, cushions & bolsters, you start to nestle in… leaving the day behind you, and gathering the awareness to the here & now.

Last nights magic…. Yin & restorative postures to allow the body & mind to settle into stillness. A release of tensions, connecting softly to the breath, followed by guided relaxation and a Gong Sound Bath. Tea, home made chocolate & lots of contented smiles 🙏🏻

Walk, feel the sun on your face & listen the the birds.

It really does bring some nourishment to your soul!

Once a week I go for a long walk on my own. At first, I walk fast - my pace matching my busy thoughts and unsettled nervous system. I wonder if I will feel more settled & grounded soon. I let it all rush in and around me, the overwhelming lists, ideas, sadness, frustration, excitement, joy, worry and anything else that comes up.
I let it happen, I give it all space. I gently and kindly detach myself from it all, become the observer.

As I walk I gradually ease, everything steadies, I breathe, notice what’s around me - the sounds, sights, sensations of being outside.

And there I am. Back in myself, my calm centre. Sometimes it takes longer than other times, and that’s ok.

Blissful afternoon at 💙

Infrared sauna, floatation pod, followed by red light, sound therapy and vibrational resonance.

I feel like I’m well into perimenopause now, and deep rest like this to calm and regulate my nervous system is so beneficial.
