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.
