FLOW FEST: AUTUMN EQUINOX EDITION
Sunday 20th September 2026 11.30am-8pm
Flow Fest is a carefully curated one day woodland wellbeing festival set within the forest glade at Wild Spa Wowo. It brings together movement, creativity, nature connection and shared ritual. Across the day, you choose what calls you. Join a yoga session in the meadow, drop into a sound journey beneath the trees, take part in a fire workshop, learn about herbs or fermentation, or simply lie back in a hammock and pause. The spa is open throughout, offering heat, cold and quiet integration between sessions.
MONTHLY WOMEN’S CIRCLE AND AUFGUSS CEREMONY
Various dates – one every month
We begin by coming together in circle – a gentle space to slow down, reflect, and connect with ourselves and each other. The circle may include simple reflective or creative activities, quiet moments, and optional sharing, creating an atmosphere that is relaxed, supportive, and unhurried.From there, the evening flows into the sensory experience of Aufguss in the sauna, where heat, steam, scent, music, and movement come together to create a deeply immersive ritual for the body and senses. Guests are then invited to continue enjoying the sauna and spa space at their own pace, with time to rest, integrate, and share simple food together.

SAUNA HAT MAKING AND WILD SPA EXPERIENCE
Sunday 29th November 12pm-4pm
Hand-stitching a sauna hat rather than using a sewing machine is a slow, restful, and creative process. Amy from Sussex Sauna Hats will guide you through the this social, calming, meditative experience that mirrors the mindfulness of sauna culture itself. You will create your own personalised, sustainable sauna hat using natural materials – pure wool and cotton thread. The hat making session will be followed by 2 relaxing hours in the Wild Spa to try out your very own hand made sauna hat. Drift from our hot nordic sauna to our clay lined earthy sauna to our wood fired hot tub. Try out our woodland shower and plunge pool if you are feeling brave. We also have a heated forest room between sauna rounds for ultimate relaxation! Suitable for anyone even those who have not sewn or sauna’d before!
