Join us in celebrating the Autumn Equinox with a nourishing day of grounding and mindful practices — from restorative yoga and wildflower wreath making to guided sauna rituals and seasonal food to restore and replenish.
The Equinox Renewal
Saturday 20th September at La Fête Fleurie, Sibbertoft
10am-4.30pm
Elemental Sauna Journey
Sauna Master Laura, from Wild Sauna Club will be hosting hour-long guided sauna sessions in her beautifully converted horse box sauna.
During your session, you’ll move through cycles of heat in the sauna, with the option to refresh in the ambient-temperature cold plunge baths. Each session includes a 30-minute sensory ritual with aromatherapy, birch leaf whisking, and more.
This deeply restorative treatment evokes a euphoric yet calm state, leaving you feeling restored and renewed.
Wildflower Rituals
Wildflower grower Nicola, from La Fête Fleurie will guide us in celebrating the abundance of autumn hedgerows and meadows
Creating a wildflower crown or wreath with seasonal blooms, seed heads, and berries. Wear your creation to honour the equinox, or hang it in your home as a gentle reminder of a beautiful day of self-care and connection
Grounding into stillness
Megan will end the day with a deeply grounding restorative yoga practice, held in a calm and supportive space.
Through long-held, gentle postures, you’ll be guided to release layers of tension from body and mind, inviting a sense of ease and inner quiet. This practice offers an opportunity to feel supported, rested, and reconnected to yourself at the turning of the season. To close, we’ll gather together by the open fire in the courtyard, journaling our intentions for the months ahead — a nurturing ritual to honour the equinox and carry its balance and wisdom into the next chapter of the year.

“We kept seeing La Fête Fleurie pop up in social posts and were curious to see what the fuss was about – and we’re so glad we did! Nicola has created a truly charming flower barn and café, filled with stunning floral wreaths, beautiful arrangements, and the most delicious food.”

“I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the sauna! The leaf whisking really added an extra element and combined with the gorgeous setting and all the extra special added touches, such as the salt scrub made it the perfect experience. Laura has such a wonderful, positive energy! I came away glowing, inside and out.”
