The Solstice Gathering – A celebration of movement, sound and connection

The Solstice Gathering from YogaVenue, Oxford

This special event began with a 75-minute guided yoga practice, led by Alessandro, co-founder of YogaVenue, thoughtfully curated to honour the setting. Through intentional movement and breath, guests were encouraged to release what has passed and create space for what is to come. This was followed by a 45-minute sound bath savasana, led by Cass, where immersive tones and subtle vibrations support a meditative state, allowing the body to fully rest and integrate.

After the practice, guests were invited to gather and enjoy a selection of beautifully prepared refreshments, featuring locally sourced, seasonal and vegan produce. This closing element offers time to reflect, connect, and savour the simplicity of nourishing food in an exceptional setting.

‘The Solstice Gathering is more than a retreat; it is a quiet ritual of alignment – where nature, stillness, and community meet. Set against the timeless elegance of the Cotswolds, it offers a rare opportunity to honour the solstice in a way that feels both grounded and expansive’
