SOLSTICE TEMPLE GATHERING
19th-22nd June 2026
Redricks Lakes - Sawbridgeworth
A four-day Summer Solstice gathering rooted in music, movement, ceremony, nature and authentic community connection.
THE INVITATION
The Solstice Temple Gathering is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with nature, with community and with the deeper rhythms often forgotten within modern life.
Across four days at The Wild Retreat, we gather through music, movement, ceremony, shared meals, woodland spaces and the celebration of the Summer Solstice together.
From sunrise practices and lakeside sauna sessions to fire circles, sound journeys and the pilgrimage to the ancient temple site, this is a space to gather more honestly and remember what truly matters.
THE LAND
Set within woodland, open fields and lakeside spaces, The Wild Retreat becomes home to the gathering across the Solstice weekend.
Move between the Wild Woods stage, the lakeside Flow Space, the Healing Temple, ceremonial fire spaces and quiet corners of nature designed for rest, reflection and connection. Swim in the lake, warm in the sauna, gather around the fire and reconnect with the natural world around you.
Flow Space
Lakeside gathering space for food, wild swimming, sauna, workshops and community connection.
Wild Woods
Woodland music stage, workshop tent and nature-based activities beneath the trees.
Healing Temple
Massage, Reiki, acupuncture and holistic treatments between the woodland and lake.

ARTISTS & SOUNDS
Across the weekend, the Wild Woods stage will carry a rich blend of live music, acoustic folk, devotional song, global rhythms, dance ritual and immersive sonic journeys.
From Aria Delyth’s Celtic-rooted storytelling and Annida Tattva’s rhythm-led dance ritual to Martin Dubois & Ashwini’s world-fusion soundscapes, each artist has been invited to help shape an atmosphere of connection, expression and remembrance.
