seek the heat: immerse in light, sound & nature this winter

As winter deepens and darkness falls, be immersed in heady soundscapes and enveloped by warmth with Seek the Heat – a tantalising descent into a world of multi-sensory delight. 

Beneath the cloak of night, our Amphitheatre will be transformed this winter into an audio-visual feast as our seven Amphitheatre pools take on the hues of the seven chakras. Meanwhile, a corresponding Solfeggio frequency soundscape composed by recent artist-in-residence Josh Roydhouse will resonate underwater and in our Amphitheatre sauna, drawing you deeper into the experience.

Sit in the velvety embrace of ancient mineral hot springs under a starlit sky, warmed from head to toe by our geothermal waters as you feel the tension of the day melt away. Against the backdrop of bushland, the pools will glow with a spectrum of colour and light, from the red of the root chakra to the white of the crown chakra. 

Reaching back through Hindu and Buddhist wisdom, the concept of the chakras is that our energetic body is home to seven main energy centres, which are tied to our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Chakra balancing seeks to move through these energy centres, from root to crown, ensuring they are spinning with ease.

A journey through the chakras travels from Muladhara, the ‘root’ chakra (safety and groundedness); through Svadhisthana, the ‘sacral’ chakra (creativity and emotions); Manipura, the ‘solar plexus’ chakra (identity and confidence); Anahata, the ‘heart’ chakra (love); Vishuddhi, the ‘throat’ chakra, (communication and self-expression); and Ajna, the ‘third eye chakra’ (insight), before arriving at the site of higher consciousness and spiritual liberation (Sahasrara, the ‘crown’ chakra). 

Our geothermal mineral pools will be illuminated in the colours associated with each chakra (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and white). Paired with Josh’s unique playlist, Seek the Heat offers a layered experience and meditation on our relationship with each chakra. 

To further stoke the embers of your being, the Bath House will come alive with a self-guided Sound Dome meditation, sauna experiences, Bathe-in-Cinema and specially curated wellness programming. 

This winter, encounter a different kind of bathing ritual and emerge both restored and primed for a night of restful sleep. For those looking for a wind-down ritual that’s equal parts nourishing and awe-inspiring, this is an invitation to engage with night bathing in a different way. 

Venture into dreamy depths, let warmth wrap around you, and be dazzled by lightscapes.
