The idea
A day of yoga, cacao, sound and dancing — completely alcohol and drug free — in the extraordinary Abbey Tithe Barn.
Soul Medicine is a day into evening journey — a carefully built arc that takes you from a gentle morning flow, out into the Dorset air, through sound and stillness, and finishes with a proper dance.
It all happens inside the Abbey Tithe Barn: 700 years of stone and oak, a sound system, lights, and a room full of people who want exactly what you want. Everything is alcohol and drug free, which is the whole point — the lift you leave with is entirely your own.
Come for the whole day, join us just for the evening rave, or take the daytime and head home before the beats start. Plenty of people arrive on their own; almost nobody leaves feeling like they did.
Yoga for every body
An uplifting morning flow and a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra. No experience needed — everything is offered with options.
Sound bath & cacao
Crystal singing bowls, gong and aromatherapy, plus ceremonial raw cacao served through the day.
Sober rave
DJ Andy Cleeton on house and dance classics, a sober bar, lights and a barn built for sound.
Walk to the Chapel
An optional walk up to St Catherine's Chapel between sessions, with the whole of Chesil Beach below you.

Good to know
- The event is completely alcohol and drug free.
- Sound healing is not recommended if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, epilepsy, or are managing a severe mental health condition — please talk to us first.

MellulahWhat people say afterwards
I came on my own and spent the whole day feeling looked after. By the evening I was dancing like nobody was watching, which — genuinely — nobody was.
The sound bath in that barn is something else. I have not slept that well in months.
Thoughtfully planned from start to finish. You can tell how much care goes into it.
Getting there
The Abbey Tithe Barn
Abbotsbury, Dorset
- Free parking at the Abbotsbury Swannery car park, a five minute walk from the barn.
- Limited accessible parking at the barn itself — let us know when you book and we will reserve you a space.

Questions
Before you book
Do I need to have done yoga before?
No. Every session is taught with options, and there is no expectation that you do all of it. Rest whenever you want to.
Can I come on my own?
Yes, and lots of people do. Tell us at the door and we will introduce you to a few faces before we start.
Is it really alcohol free?
Completely. The bar serves cacao, soft drinks and hot drinks. It is the thing people are most sceptical about and most surprised by.
Can I just come to the rave?
Yes — the evening ticket covers 5:30pm to 9:00pm and is the easiest way in if the daytime feels like a lot for a first time.
Where can I stay nearby?
Abbotsbury and Weymouth both have plenty of options within fifteen minutes. Get in touch if you would like a couple of recommendations.
What if I need to cancel?
CONFIRM: cancellation and transfer terms to be agreed with Saira and stated here.
