Held in the lingering light of midsummer, The Afterglow is an immersive three-hour retreat designed to calm the nervous system, soften the body and create space for deep rest.
Set within the peaceful natural surroundings of Reset Wild Spa, this intimate evening experience weaves together somatic movement, auricular acupuncture, immersive sound therapy, ceremonial cacao and restorative spa rituals - guiding guests through a carefully curated journey of release, reconnection and renewal.
Whether you come alone, with a friend, or gather a small group together, The Afterglow offers a shared yet personal space to pause, exhale and reconnect.
As day softens into evening, guests are invited to step away from the pace of everyday life and into a calm, considered space where they can slow down, breathe deeply and simply be.

Movement & Sacred Sound is a guided workshop designed to support deep rest, release and reconnection.
Movement & Sacred Sound
Prepare
We begin with gentle, embodied movement and breath-led practice to prepare the body, softening physical tension, settling the nervous system and creating space to receive.
Receive
From here, you are guided into stillness, where sound becomes the primary experience.
A layered sound journey unfolds using instruments such as singing bowls, gong, drum, chimes and subtle tonal elements, alongside moments of voice and silence. The sound is introduced gradually and woven throughout the space, allowing the body and mind to soften into a deeper state of rest.
Return
As the session draws to a close, you are gently guided back into awareness through quiet movement and breath, allowing the body to reawaken gradually. We finish with a simple closing mantra, followed by a small grounding offering to help you return gently to the room.
These workshops are designed as a complete experience, preparing the body, guiding you into stillness, and supporting a calm and considered return.
This workshop is informed by training in sacred sound with Anne Malone of Oasis of Sound, and continues to evolve through the principles of the Alaya Method.
Workshops are held periodically throughout the year.
