Our retreats and workshops are thoughtfully designed to help you reconnect with your intuitive self—whether you're joining us for a half-day escape or a deeper, immersive experience.

Each offering is unique. Some include time in our thermal circuit, others take place in the movement studio, and many blend both for a truly holistic experience. Our instructors are specialists in their fields—passionate about what they teach and deeply committed to building a stronger, more connected community through shared practice.

We encourage you to explore the full description of each workshop to find the one that speaks to you. Some workshops also include delicious, nourishing snacks—so please let us know in advance if you have any allergies or dietary needs.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and meaningful, so we recommend pre-registering early to secure your spot.

We look forward to welcoming you into these special moments of movement, stillness, and connection.

  • Bass Temple: Summer Equinox

    Next date: June 19th 2026

    5:30-8:30pm, 120+ tax

    Celebrate the Summer Equinox at Nature Folk with Hierophunk — an evening of heat, rhythm, and ritual to honour the longest light of the year.

    As the sun reaches its peak and the season turns toward summer’s fullness, we gather in community to soften, release, and reconnect.

    This evening is devoted to balance, renewal, sensual reawakening, and the quiet magic of standing at a seasonal threshold.

    We’ll begin with an opening community circle to arrive together, ground into the energy of the equinox, and set an intention for what we are ready to welcome in.

    From there, the space opens into a free-flow sauna and cold plunge circuit, guided by downtempo bass designed to move you out of the mind and back into the body.

    Heat, cold, breath, rhythm, and presence weave together in a ritual of contrast — inviting release, activation, and reconnection under the energy of the summer sun.

    Please bring a bathing suit + sandals+ water bottle. Towels and robes provided

  • Person practicing a yoga headstand in a living room with curtains and houseplants.

    Inversions Workshop with Jillana

    DATE: TBD

    4:00-5:30pm $45+ tax

    Join Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher, Jillana, for a deep dive into the benefits of going upside down! Inversions are a category of yoga poses where the legs are raised above the heart. They vary from popular poses like Downward Dog, to more complex arrangements like Headstand and Shoulderstand. Inversions have so many benefits such as relieving compression on the spine, improving blood flow and lymphatic circulation, and helping to remove waste products from our system through improved digestion and elimination. We'll journey through Handstand, Forearm balance, Headstand and Shoulderstand using a variety of props for guidance and support. If you've struggled with inversions or you've always wanted to learn how to approach these more complex poses safely, then this one day 'Inversion Immersion' is for you!
