Deeply rooted in the forest surrounding us, Re-Root at Lime Wood is a series of retreats, events and workshops inspired by the healing powers of nature and guided by the rhythms of the seasons.
Herb House Sonic Freedive
Join Musician and Gong Master Rich Hale (ex-front man for chill-out band Kinobe) and our resident Breathwork Facilitator, Tracey Howes, as they collaborate for a deep dive into breath and sound.
Please feel free to arrive at the spa 2 hours before the session to use the spa to enable you to relax into the evening. With a subtle soundtrack and lighting to gently enhance your ocean experience, Tracey starts with breathwork techniques in the studio with a free-diving theme, to optimise breathing habits for life and not just the session.
You will then move seamlessly through to our hydrotherapy area enveloped by the healing sound of the gongs and warmth of the space. There you can choose to remain on the heated caldarium stones or enter the pool, where the warm water will heighten your senses allowing you to experience the immersive sound of the gongs as they create a sonic scape for the ‘dive’ anywhere between deep meditation and sleep.
Please note two hours use of the spa are included before the session.
Foraging
Join our resident Forager Sammie Longhorn for seasonal foraging. Sammie is a yoga teacher, forager, and community herbalist, with a passion for reconnecting people with the incredible edible and medicinal properties of our wild and native plant life.
Arrive at Lime Wood for 11am and meet at Herb House to venture into the forest for a one-hour foraging walk. Then head back to our glasshouse for refreshments and a Q&A with Sammie.
Little Nippers Woodland Walk
Join Lindsey from Dorset Forest Bathing on this special family woodland adventure. This session is open to children of all ages, though we recommend it for those 12 and under. It's sure to be a fun experience for the whole family, including the adults! You'll be guided in the woods, encouraged to slow down, take notice and play, and will take part in some sensory exercises enjoying the sights, sounds and textures in nature. The walk will have a focus on how time in the outdoors can support wellbeing and help us feel calm and relaxed. After immersing yourself in the great outdoors, unwind at Raw & Cured with a selection of refreshments and take a moment to reflect on your time in nature.
Please note the walk length is approximately 1.5 miles children will need to be capable of walking this distance or toddlers and babies in slings are welcome. It is not suitable for pushchairs.
Please note: Price for one adult includes bringing up to two children under 18 per place booked. If you wish to book more than two children to enjoy the session, please contact Spa reception on reception@herbhousespa.co.uk.
