Welcome to Slow Motion Wellness

an antidote to 21st century living brought to you by Robby and Josie da Bank – a formula to escape, even momentarily.

The hustle and bustle, incessant chatter of news and social media and endless deadlines of modern living have got everyone whizzing round in ever decreasing, faster circles of panic. Slow Motion is built around the foundation of creating a space to temporarily escape the overwhelm.

Whether that is by joining our community and attending one of our pop-ups or time with us on a wellness retreat, the goal is to make you step back and slow down for a moment.

We began Slow Motion Wellness at our festival back in 2018 and it has grown into so much more than we could of imagined from humble beginnings in a tent in a field in Dorset - it’s now a community of people who enjoy everything from yoga and meditation to ice baths, saunas and chanting.

Sit Around The Fire

In 2024 we are bringing you

We are super excited to be welcoming you to Sit Around The Fire with us in Portugal in May. This is far more than 6 nights of wellness exploration and for us – this is our lifestyle and one that we want to share with as many people as possible.

We have brought together our favourite teachers from our 25 years of experience in this field and are bringing it all to the most wonderful location in Portugal.

You can focus your attention on one discipline for the week or try new things and experiment a bit. It will be a very inclusive, relaxed affair but delivered at the highest standard.

Slow Motion Sauna

Experience the ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation with our Wellness pop-up events.

Our mobile wood-fired sauna and ice baths provide a tranquil and immersive sauna experience at a number of different locations.

Step into the soothing heat and let the sauna cleanse your body and calm your mind, with the ice giving you the headspace to conquer the day.

These pop-up events offer a perfect opportunity to unwind, detoxify, and connect with fellow participants. Immerse yourself in the healing power of heat and cold, whilst enjoying the blissful relaxation that comes with it.
