"I have been hosting 'Sound, Sauna & Swim' since 2024...
...and at the end of the event, when people are getting ready to go home, again and again I hear things like 'I can't wait to come back again', and 'I'm so glad I booked this for myself', and 'When can I come again?'.
At every event, there is always at least one person who's been before. Because once you've experienced the magic at Southdowns Retreat, you'll want to experience it again."

Come and restore yourself at a very special private wild spa.
Journey to the Sussex countryside to the beautiful Southdowns Retreat, the location for Crystal Waves: Sound, Sauna and Swim.
During this two and a half hour Mini Retreat, you will spend the afternoon resting and healing: a blissful sound healing in a cosy studio, followed by a sauna with a breathtaking view, and swim in a unique wild swimming pool.

Come and rest.
We will gather in the cabin, looking out over the Sussex countryside.
The session will start with welcoming everyone to this special event.
Then we will lie down...
...getting as comfy and cosy as we can - blankets, pillows and cushions are most welcome.
In the winter, we’ll be cocooned in the warmth of the cabin's log burner.
In the summer, we'll have the warm breeze coming in through the studio's bifold doors, giving a sense of being outside.


"That was the best sound bath I've ever been to. And I've been to a few."
October 2025 Sound Healing Attendee

Whilst you are resting...
...you will experience the healing frequencies of the crystal singing bowls, gong, drum and chimes, whilst away from it all in the countryside.
Your body will have a chance to fully relax, and absorb the vibrations of the instruments.
When it's time to open your eyes again...
...I will welcome you gently back into a wakeful energy.
After a grounding and comforting piece of homemade cake, we will head to the sauna for a different kind of relaxation.


When the warmth of the sauna has raised your energy.....
...you can cool down in the unique natural swimming pool. The water is clear and refreshing, with zero chemicals added.
A totally invigorating experience.
And then back to the sauna to warm up. You can dip in and out of the pool whenever you like.
Hand blended herbal tea and water is on hand to hydrate you.
You'll head home relaxed, refreshed, and restored.


Hosted by me, Melanie.
I create beautiful sound healing experiences. I'm motivated to host events that I would love to attend myself. And I appreciate the importance of tea and cake. You'll usually find me playing my crystal bowls on the beach, or in another magical location.
This is Spiritual Self Care. Would you like some?
