Stone Rocks Open Mic!

What an amazing evening, thanks to all those who came and shared! We created an amazing space for local artists to come together to make music, share their poetry and tell stories.

Next one on the 30th October @ 7pm 🎃

On the Autumn Equinox (23rd Sept) I started ‘The Commitment’ to myself and my community to doing a 1 hour Morning Practice Session of 20mins breathwork or meditation, 35 mins of sauna and 3 mins in the cold plunge. I will do this every weekday morning Monday to Friday, every week up until the Winter Solstice on the 21st December.

As a personal bonus commitment I’ve also committed to not eating refined sugar or artificial alternatives during this period and not drinking alcohol.

I’m now over 2 weeks in and my nervous system feels more calm and settled, my mind feels more centred and focused, I’m sleeping better, achieving more in my days and more even tempered with my children and those around me. I also feel really positive about myself and a sense of direction and purpose spreading into my life in general. It’s fair to say it’s an amazing thing to do for myself and I’m grateful that I have the time and support to be able to do it and that I’m genuinely committed to it.

I also want to offer other the opportunity to join me and benefit as well so I’ve now added this session to our website and it’s bookable either on a session by session basis for £12 non members or £10 members, or you can sign up for a whole 5 day week of mornings for just £20 (£4 a session average). Look for ‘The Commitment’ on our website in the sauna section and I’ll be happy to have the company and share the benefits with you. ❄️🌞✨

The Commitment

02/10/2026

Since Autumn Equinox on Wednesday 23rd September I’ve dedicated myself to continuous weekday morning practices to support my mental and physical health. It’s genuinely helping me so much and since I’ve started I’ve been more focused, calm, patient and productive with work and with my family.

I dedicate just an hour to this each morning broken into 3 parts:
Part 1 Breathwork or Meditation - 20 Mins
Part 2 Sauna - 25-30 Mins
Part 3 Cold Plunge - 3-4 Mins

Watch how this process takes me through the gears starting in a slightly altered, sleepy state post meditation, and finishing as a super charged ball of energy in the cold plunge ! 🥶

I’ll be continuing to do this every weekday morning (7am till 8am) Monday to Friday up until Monday 21st December when I will break for Christmas.

If you want to join me for one morning, a week of mornings or longer, you can book on the sauna page of our website, look for the session named The Commitment.

Have you ever heard of the Sabrinian Sea?
That was a name attributed to the Severn Estuary after the Romans had named the main artery that runs through it the River Sabrina.

The name Sabrina is proposed to have been a Latinisation by the Romans of the Proto-Celtic name Habren (now Hafren in Welsh) which was how it was known by the local Celtic tribes the Dobunni and Silures during the Iron Age.

This river was the main transport via through this very fertile and sort after part of the country during ancient times, with the Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans all using it in their various attempts to raid, invade and secure land here.

So although the name the Sabrinian Sea does sound like something you would find in a far off, exotic part of the world, it’s actually just an old more poetic name for our very own Severn Estuary.

This morning I started ‘The Commitment’ my commitment to my own physical, mental and spiritual health. This is the best gift I can give myself and my children. More patience, more calm, more presence, better immunity, heart health and resilience to the more challenging things in life.

This challenge started today on the Autumn Equinox 🍁🌞(Sept. 23rd) and will last the full quarter of the year up until the Winter Solstice ❄️🌞on December 21st.

It will run Monday to Friday 7am till 8am and involve 20 mins of Breathwork practice or meditation followed by 40 mins of Sauna and Cold Plunge.

Anyone is welcome to join me, whether just for individual sessions (£10 for members), an entire week (5 days for £20 breaking down at £4 a session) or if you really feel the benefits you can join me all the way up to the Winter Solstice ❄️🌞.

Looks like Chepstow traffic isn’t just a recent problem!
Here’s a beautiful old BBC piece from the 1960s on our ‘friendly border’. It’s so warm and gorgeously presented and produced and is a reminder of how lucky we are to live around here if we can just park our daily problems briefly and get out and look around.
We 💚 Chepstow, the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean.
