Events

Barefoot & Bower works in partnership with Kerry Wheeler, the founder of Hehku Wild Wellbeing, to run various wild-wellness based events around our lakes.

Kerry’s main offering is her wood-fired sauna tent, the perfect addition to the wild swimming lakes of Barefoot and Bower. Visitors can experience the restorative power of contrast therapy in nature, alternating between the cool waters of the lakes and the deep heat of the wood-fired sauna. Various sauna and swim sessions run throughout the year or alternatively, you can book the sauna for private hire, by contacting Kerry here.

Keep an eye on this page over the coming months for other events taking place at Barefoot and Bower, including:

  • Grounded Sound Bath

  • Floating Sound Bath

  • Cold Water Swim Induction (links)

  • Full Moon Sauna & Massage

  • Sunday Social Swims

  • Weekly Naturist Swims

Samhain Swim & Sauna with Hehku Wild Wellbeing

Samhain marks the turning of the year — a threshold between light and dark, summer’s end and winter’s beginning. Rooted in Celtic tradition, it is a time to pause, reflect, and honour the cycles of nature and of ourselves. As the veil between worlds grows thin, we’re invited to release what has passed, give gratitude for what remains, and prepare the body and spirit for the colder months ahead.
