The Autumn Equinox marks a moment of seasonal balance, when day and night stand in equal measure. It is a natural pause point in the year, inviting reflection on what has grown, what has been gathered, and what you may wish to carry forward into the quieter months ahead.

Set within the remarkable surroundings of Mount Stewart’s Temple of the Winds, a space only occasionally open for public experiences, with sweeping views across Strangford Lough, this carefully curated experience, limited to just 16 guests, offers space to slow down, rest, and reconnect.

The experience begins with Tessa’s signature Sound Spa Experience, thoughtfully designed to create a contained and restorative space for deep rest, spacious awareness, and gentle recalibration.

Using carefully selected live sound, including singing bowls, gentle percussion, and spacious periods of stillness, Tessa creates an environment that invites you to soften, settle, and experience a deeper sense of pause within this extraordinary heritage setting.

As the seasons begin to shift, this experience offers an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life, reflect on the months that have passed, and create space for whatever is emerging next.

Following the sound experience, guests will have time to gently re-emerge, integrate their experience, and enjoy a light seasonal lunch prepared by the Mount Stewart team.

Guests are also welcome to enjoy access to Mount Stewart’s gardens following the experience, should they wish to extend their visit and continue enjoying the surroundings at their own pace.

No prior experience is needed. Simply come as you are and allow yourself the space to rest.
