Soften into September with sound.
This Friday evening and Saturday morning I have a last few spaces at Brandon Country Park, Brandon for space and time to rest and listen.

There is a ripeness to September, a wonderful time to slow down and reflect upon the fruitfulness of Summer and all the gifts it has offered us as we prepare for Autumn. Sound can provide the most supportive container for this, a luminous place to reflect, and dream into the darker half of the year now ahead.

Come join me if you feel called, there are 3 spaces for Friday night and one for Saturday morning. I’d love to see you 🫶🎶✨🙏

Welcoming clients for sound offerings at my home studio is an honour and a joy.
After years of hauling instruments, mats and blankets around village halls and similar, it’s hard to describe the joy of having a space to call my own and curate entirely.

One of the things I value dearly is what this offers for you - a small group, in a truly welcoming space full of comforting items such as padded mats, sheepskins, blankets, cushions and bolsters. This can support you to drop in more readily and deeply to your experience.
Tea, chocolate, chats and completely unhurried time after to reflect, ask questions, share experiences, hear instruments and tonight, well it almost felt like an after party ☺️ 🎶✨

There are so many sound baths and wellness practices on offer now, I know you have many choices, and each time you choose me it is noticed and greatly appreciated. Thanks for being here on this journey with me💗🙏

Just 2 spaces remain for our Autumn Equinox celebration in Thetford forest at High Lodge, Thetford Forest - Forestry England

There is an undeniable change in the air and summer prepares to yield to autumn. In little over a month, Autumn Equinox will be here - a moment of balance of light and dark, night and day before the inevitable descent into the darkest half of the year.

Each year, I offer this mellow and connective celebration, a tuning into the season, a gentle space for reflection and realignment, to honour the cycles and seasons that live within us too.

🍂 Delicious seasonal food by Jessica Livsey
🍂 Forest reflections
🍂 Restorative sound offering
You are welcome to join us if this speaks to you.

Sometimes when facilitating sound you have to think very quickly in the moment, tonight was one of those times! About one third of the way into the session, the national wildfire alert siren went off. Yikes! An initial moment of confusion when I hear everyone’s phones going off was quickly replaced with the thought of “how do I regain a felt sense of safety here for the group? “ it’s such a big responsibility when we are holding space for others.

So I gently spoke to the group, explaining what was happening, that the alert wasn’t specific to this area and it was safe to remain in the forest. I shared the ways I know to to reground and come back to the sounds through grounding and breath then rebuilt the layers of sound.

So much in life we cannot control, and through practices such as sound meditation, yoga, mindfulness we can cultivate our capacity to respond instead of react, to build capacity in our nervous system to move from a moment of dysregulation back to centre.

There was then another challenge for me in knowing the time for the rest of the session - my screen had locked with the alert and any attempt to unlock it set off the siren again 🚨
Well, it was certainly interesting!

Despite the above, many folks managed to drop back into a deeper state and even doze to the sounds of the gong floating through the trees, and the feedback was wonderful to read.

Huge thanks to all who came to this introduction to outdoor sound bathing as part of the Brecks LP outdoor festival. You certainly had quite the introduction 🙃🫶🌳🎶

As always the trees at Brandon Country Park, Brandon held us beautifully under their very welcome shade. May we remember that much bigger than the ‘interruption’ of a siren, we have a planetary climate emergency- a sober reminder to protect what we love 🌍 💚

This Thursday evening, come and float in sound.
This could be the last weekday evening sound bath of 2026, because it’s undeniable that the evenings are drawing in (which makes packing away in the middle of the forest challenging!)

Thursday is forecast to be incredibly hot, under the canopy of the trees you’ll find some respite - it can many degrees cooler here.

We know these endless summer evenings won’t last forever, the rains will come - and how we need them. But for now, let’s float in the forest, swaying, resting, dreaming…

At time of writing there are 5 hammocks remaining, one sun lounger space, and I’ve also opened up some ‘forest floor’ tickets to increase accessibility.

Some sessions just steal my heart.
Today we explored the possibilities of forest bathing in hammocks at Brandon Country Park, Brandon , and it proved to be incredibly special.

2 gentle hours where time slowed and we explored what the forest means to us personally. How the forest can be a place of safety for personal healing, reflection, connection, belonging, peace and so much more. When we foster and nurture this felt sense, we are often left with the desire to tread more lightly and gently with ourselves, others and the earth.

With kind permission from the group I’m sharing some of the amazing poems and artwork they created. Aren’t they wonderful? All photos here were taken after our session, (never while in progress- that’s sacred space for you and not my content fodder!)

Having shared hammocks sound baths and forest bathing separately for years, it was a joy to combine them amongst beloved trees that I know and love so well. They welcomed us in and held us so well.

Will there be more hammock forest bathing in Thetford forest? Absolutely there will!

Try something new and connective, immersed in nature.

Next weekend there are two opportunities for experiences as part of the Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers LP outdoor festival which offer you a precious pause to slow down, tune in and listen to the symphony around you 🎶✨🌲

At Brandon Country Park, Brandon in Thetford forest, we’re inviting you to try an outdoor sound bath or forest bathing (shinrin yoku) experience for the very first time. So if you’ve been curious to try these practices, here is your opportunity to do so at a subsidised price thanks to the support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund

Both sessions are introductory - so offered specifically for those who are new to these activities and a perfect opportunity to ‘give it a try.’

As the weather is looking fine and settled ☀️ second release tickets have now been released for the outdoor sound bath on Friday 14th.

Come join us and experience the beauty is slowing down and listening! 👂 🎶💚🌳☀️🌲✨🪶

No desire to be cool or go viral (probably just as well!)

Things I value professionally and personally are truth, authenticity, oh and liveable conditions on planet earth.

I wonder why content on here is all beginning to look so similar. Sound baths showing instruments and places that are not representative of what’s being offered and where and by whom… ‘Earth centred’ practices being advertised with AI generated content…At what cost?

In a world where we increasingly have to question what is real and what is not, please know everything you see of mine is real. Places, person, words, instruments. My own.

May we remember our humanity, our values, the beauty of individuality and that there is no planet B.

Under the cool canopy of the tall trees, I’ll meet you there.
Hammocks ready to cocoon, birds singing in the trees and an offering of sound from gongs, chimes, singing bowls and other instruments.

Rest.
Float.
Dream.

Limited spaces for this intimate session at Brandon Country Park, Brandon this Friday evening.

I’m not getting many opportunities to post lately.
So here’s me, staying in my lane, letting you know what I’m up to while I navigate multiple responsibilities, changing priorities and continue to serve my Sound and Ground community with love, commitment and the greatest of care. I see all of you navigating your own challenges, and yet showing up on your mats / hammocks/ forest floor to practice with me and truly, the honour is all mine 💗
Incredibly grateful for all of you 🙏

Special thanks to Soulstar Stories for being a gorgeous friend, fellow sound practitioner, encourager of instrument shenanigans and for kindness extended through a gong stand for my outdoor sessions. She is a treasure!
