Temple of the Winds – Summer Equinox Sound Spa Retreat Experience
Join Tessa Ann, founder of The Sound Healing Spa, for a special Summer Solstice Sound Experience at the iconic Temple of the Winds, Mount Stewart.
- Booking essential
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a seasonal turning point and a natural invitation to pause, gather your energy, and step into the summer season with greater presence and intention.
Set within the remarkable surroundings of Mount Stewart’s Temple of the Winds, a space only occasionally open for public experiences, with sweeping views across Strangford Lough, this carefully curated three-hour experience, limited to just 16 guests, offers space to slow down, rest, and reconnect.
The experience begins with Tessa’s signature Sound Spa Experience, thoughtfully designed to create a contained and restorative space for deep rest, spacious awareness, and gentle recalibration.
Using carefully selected live sound, including singing bowls, gentle percussion, and spacious periods of stillness, Tessa creates an environment that invites you to soften, settle, and experience a deeper sense of pause within this extraordinary heritage setting.
Following the sound experience, guests will have time to gently re-emerge, integrate their experience, and enjoy a light seasonal lunch prepared by the Mount Stewart team.
Summer Solstice Lunch Menu A vibrant summer salad buffet bursting with fresh, exciting flavours — from crisp garden vegetables and fragrant herbs to zesty dressings, roasted favourites, and globally inspired combinations.
Guests are also welcome to enjoy access to Mount Stewart’s gardens following the experience.
