The Autumn Reset

A day of pilates, sound and slowness at Hayfield Manor, Cork
Saturday 10th October 2026, 10am to 4.30pm

There's a time in October where everything starts letting go. The leaves, the seed pods, the last of the summer light. The Autumn Reset is a day built around that idea, a chance to put down whatever you've been carrying and move into the darker months feeling lighter.

Hosted by Aisling of Ammi Sound Therapy and Emma of Luna Cottage Pilates, the day takes place entirely within the five star surroundings of Hayfield Manor.

Your day

You'll arrive to a light breakfast prepared by the Hayfield Manor kitchen, with time to settle in and meet the group before anything begins.

Emma then leads a session of holistic stretch pilates and guided meditation. It's accessible, unhurried and suitable for all levels, focused on releasing tension rather than pushing yourself.

Next is the wreath workshop. You'll build your own asymmetrical dried autumn wreath from leaves, grasses and seed pods foraged locally and dried in Ammi's chemical free micro flower farm. The asymmetry is deliberate, taking its cue from the season itself and the way nature lets things fall away. You'll take your wreath home with you.

Lunch is a private two course meal served in the Orchid Room, overlooking the walled gardens in Hayfield Manor.

The day closes with a sound bath led by Aisling, using a set of Crystal Tones Alchemy singing bowls, Grotta Sonora gongs and chimes. You'll lie down, covered and comfortable, and let the sound do the work. It's a deep rest to help you release and unwind going into the Autumn season.

You'll leave with a carefully curated gift bag, chosen to help you carry the calm home.
