Service Description

Celebrate Ostara, the Spring Equinox with a deeply restorative gong sound bath on Saturday 21 March 2026 10:30-12:00 ❤️ @ Fern Bothy. The spring equinox, Ostara, is celebrated as a time of renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings. Ostara occurs halfway between the winter and summer solstice. It marks the moment when day and night are equal in length, and the sun crosses the celestial equator, moving northward, signaling the arrival of spring. Gong sound baths are highly rejuvenating for the body, mind & soul and bring about an overall sense of relaxation, which can reduce anxiety, help develop a better ability to cope with stress, shift / release emotional blockages from trauma, and even stimulate altered states of consciousness for rest, relaxation and healing. By recognizing and celebrating the little shifts in Earth’s natural rhythms, we can become more attuned to nature and feel more grounded in our everyday lives. We will combine some gentle movement and breathwork, followed by a deeply meditative gong sound bath.

Gong Sound Bath Experience: the gong has been used for thousands of years and is being recognised as a powerful, non-invasive healing modality. The sound waves from the Gong induce a meditative state and enter into the body, affecting change at the cellular level, as well as the quantum level. Even in one session, a noticeable change can be experienced. Suitable for children 12+. Children 12 - 16 years must be accompanied by an adult or have written permission from a parent or guardian.
