Exploring the North East’s growing spiritual community
If the words “moon circle” or “sound bath” once made you think of incense-filled rooms and tie-dye, think again. Across the North East, a new wave of wellness is quietly taking over – and it’s way more accessible than you might expect.
From sea-dip rituals in Saltburn to tarot nights in cosy cafés, spirituality here looks less like a trend and more like a lifestyle shift. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting, and maybe finding a little magic in the process.
We’ve put together a list of workshops, events and experiences across the region that are waiting for you to give them a go.
