Welcome to the hidden garden oasis that is Lost Horizon Sauna.
Relax, unwind and be free...
Rejuvenate, re-energise and revitalise your mind, body and soul and release those toxins. Melt into a
hammock and recharge in the sunshine or lounge by the fire in the tipi.
Described by many as a festival within a festival our regular community of guests find having a sauna
to be a grounding, sacred and now essential part of the festival mix. Lost Horizon (formerly Body and
Soul) has been providing some of the most amazing people with a warm glow and a bounce in their step
for over a decade.
We aim to put into practice a vision held within many people’s hearts that a better way is possible - living together in harmony with nature and each other. Love, celebration of our differences, gratitude, self-responsibility, sharing, respect, collaboration and cooperation is our destination, our Shangri-La.
We especially enjoy energising our fellow family of travelling folk, who create the venues, festivals
and gatherings we know and love. They can be onsite for days either side of an event, often in exciting
weather, and limited facilities.
Lost Horizon spends the summer travelling the alternative and green festival circuit, whilst rippling
out positive intentions to larger more mainstream events.
The sauna is a specially adapted Mongolian yurt. The wood burning stove harnesses volcanic stones and
water to create steam. Essential oils are used for their healing and relaxing properties.
The
option of shedding one’s clothes and possessions (secure lock up at reception) can allow for a deeper
and more profound reconnection to nature and your body, along with a more sensual and organic sauna
and sunbathing experience. Nudity can be a great leveller. We are all brothers and sisters and we aim
to create a sense of family where everyone feels at home.
The Healing Garden includes a yurt for your clothes, showers, plunge pool, a warm and cosy tipi, a
large lawn for sun baking, hammocks and a central fire. Activities can include massage, workshops, table
tennis, hoola hoops, trampolines, yoga and weather and demand depending, a Saturday evening disco.
Our cafe serves responsibly sourced and solar powered freshly blended smoothies, the best freshly
brewed chai onsite and Hannah’s famous home made cakes and flapjacks. We also provide nutritionally
balanced vegetarian fare. Look out for Vinny’s Tai green curry. Yum!
Initially funded through a grant to our partners, Coed Hills Rural Artspace
in South Wales, the Energy Development Co-operative
(EDC) refurbished and upgraded the power trailer. EDC are at the forefront of renewable energy both at
the national level and to low impact developments that use power in their abode. The
power trailer is utilised in the winter for important projects such as the construction of Lammas Eco Village
in Wales.
Run from this renewable energy, our solar stage was created with the valuable assistance of the Small World Solar Stage and Festival. Providing a platform for Musicians and artists to perform live and capture the hearts as well as the ears of the audience. Past musicians include Martha Tilston, Seize the Day, Avalon Roots, The Undercover Hippy, Carrie Tree, Dunkin Disorderly, Suzie Ro and Ayla, Nathan Ball, Chicken Shed Zeppelin, Paradox and Kev the Poet.
Please contact solarstage@losthorizon.org.uk if you would like to perform in our space this year.
Fluffy clean and dry towel hire and solar mobile phone charging available.
