The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a seasonal turning point and a natural invitation to pause, gather your energy, and step into the summer season with greater presence and intention.

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 three-hour 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.

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.

Sound Bathing

The practice of therapeutic sound, like gong baths, uses sound vibration to help relax and reduce stress in the body. When you are more relaxed and less stressed it is easier for your body to activate its own natural healing mechanisms.
