Woodend Summer Solstice - A Day of Light, Movement & Connection
Join us at Woodend Mill for a beautifully held Summer Solstice — a day of movement, stillness, sound and connection, set within the mill’s hidden green space.
Step out of the everyday and into something slower, more grounded, and shared. From welcoming the morning light to gently closing the day with rhythm and sound, this is an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and be part of something meaningful.
Whether you join us for a single session or spend the whole day with us, you will be part of a unique moment in a place that is being brought back to life.
All proceeds support the restoration of the historic Weaving Shed at Woodend Mill.
Spaces are limited to keep the experience intimate.

We will be joined by professional practices delivering yoga, breath work, sound baths, meditation and much, more. Below is a list the people who will ensure you have the most beautiful day:
