Winter Solstice Sound Bath in the Gallery

Winter Solstice Sound Bath in the Gallery acontece a 21 de dezembro de 2026, Sunny Bank Mills Gallery, em Farsley.

The sound bath is part of a programme of events running in the Gallery at Sunny Bank Mills during our Autumn/Winter exhibition, Soft Light . Soft Light showcases paintings, photography and installations that masterfully capture sunlight, moonlight and artificial light alongside contemporary craft from UK-based artists and makers. Visit the collection to see other events taking place as part of the exhibition. About the session "We live in a culture that rarely slows down and December can be one of the most hectic times of year, full of plans, eating, drinking and lots of socialising. You name it the list goes on… but amongst all the busyness sometimes all you want is just a moment to breathe. Just four days before Christmas we get the Winter Solstice on the 21st December, which marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year, a perfect chance to take a gentle pause. The Solstice brings more than just cold and darkness, it’s a natural signal that it’s time to slow down, reflect and make space for what’s next. Our sound bath gives you an entire hour to do just that. Join us for a uniquely immersive sound bath where guests will lie down surrounded by art at Sunny Bank Mills whilst we create a deeply calming and restorative soundscape which will feel like a gentle hug for your nervous system. No experience or participation is needed. Come as you are and we’ll help you to unwind, let go of the day and take a gentle pause before the year ends. On the longest night of the year, give yourself permission to rest. We'll provide everything you need for the session - Yoga mats, blankets, eye masks. You are also more than welcome to bring your own if you'd prefer. Please wear warm, loose & comfy clothing. Event flow We’ll begin with a five-minute guided somatic shake: a gentle opportunity for guests to move their bodies and release some of the tension. Guests can take part in whatever way feels comfortable for them. Afterwards, everyone will settle onto their mats for a 55-minute sound bath. They’ll simply lie down and listen as we create a calming soundscape using crystal singing bowls, a gong, chimes and other instruments. We’ll bring the session to a gentle close, giving guests a moment to come back to the space before they leave. About The Art of Healing We’re Pearls and Paris, the founders of The Art of Healing. We started TAOH because we wanted more places to slow down, connect and feel good without everything revolving around a night out. Our events bring people together through simple, welcoming wellbeing experiences designed to help you switch off from everyday life. For the Winter Solstice, we’re creating a space to step away from the December rush, settle in among the art at Sunny Bank Mills and enjoy an hour of rest before the year comes to a close.
