Last weekend’s Practitioner’s Day was such a special opportunity to meet, connect, and spend time with the wider Happy River community. We chatted, we laughed, we shared stories — and we slowed down together 🫶✨🌲

We began with a grounding Qigong practice led by Conor, a truly experienced and wonderful teacher, before replenishing body and mind with contrast therapy in the forest sauna and cold plunge 🌲🔥❄️

Thank you to everyone who came and brought such open, generous energy to the space. Days like these are a gentle reminder of why community, movement, and nature matter so much.

We’re already looking forward to the next one 🌲

PS: If you are a practitioner and would love to host a retreat or gathering in our gorgeous forest venue, we’d love to hear from you - please DM us.

We’ve had a truly amazing journey years we first opened our doors 3 years ago (
after 5 years of dreaming, building & learning our way to that point before that).

When we opened those doors we didn’t know if anyone would come. Or if they did…who they would be. And boy were we surprised by just how many of you have found us and how much magic you have created here for so many. The ripple effect is huge. This is how worlds change. Personal worlds and in turn all the world they touch. And we are so grateful 💕

That’s why we’re throwing a THANK YOU event for anyone who has held an event here with us so that they, in turn, can be held on this special land in the trees for a restorative morning of Sauna, plunge, Qi-gong and a lovely plant based treat. But most of all for the chance to connect with each other in nature.

3 spaces have just become re-available because someone can’t make it. Would you like to join us? Just follow the link in stories to book or DM us to recieve the link or comment THANK YOU 💕

Date: This Friday 16th January
Time: 10am to 1pm
Cost: free to practioners who have had an event with us
Includes: welcome Teas, a light mortising treat from our in house plant based chef and nutritionist, Sauna, Plunge, Qi-gong session, chance to meet other practitioners

Spaces close Midnight Wednesday
