Get your sway on to the super talented Nick Mulvey who will be headlining, appearing on stage at 9.50pm &#8211; the exact moment the solstice takes place and where music and nature seamlessly collide.

<p>As for the venue itself, well, it&#8217;s pretty special to say the least. Revel in an open-air woodland amphitheatre with panoramic treescape vistas &#8211; amplifying the senses and providing an immersive musical experience in the heart of nature.</p>

<p>When&#8217;s the last time you took the time to really get lost in nature? If you had to think about it, point made. Solstice On The Mount is a magical event on the earthly calendar when the sun reaches its peak in the celestial sphere, and people and the planet connect. It&#8217;s a chance to be free from the trappings of the modern world &#8211; no alcohol, no distractions, just you and a canopy of green to breathe easy and become one.</p>

<p>Not only will you be enjoying the immersive concert in an otherworldly venue, but the following morning (21 June), don&#8217;t miss the sunrise ceremony, taking place with birdsong for a soundtrack. Chris Park will be guiding the ceremony, connecting deeply to the flora, fauna, and natural world around us. </p>

<p>Make like a moth to a flame (literally) and get yourself fireside for The Mount&#8217;s crowning jewel. The Fireside Sessions are super intimate concerts gathered around an open fire in Wasing&#8217;s Sacred Glade. I know I keep throwing the word magic around like nobody&#8217;s business, but this truly is spellbinding. Lose yourself in the dancing flames as the night of Solstice transforms from light to dark. It&#8217;s an extraordinarily powerful experience, and this year Awarë and Ajeet will provide the music, lulling you into a reverie.</p>

<p>Leave reality at the door. The Woodland Trail is a totally unique mindful space to be present and fully embrace the moment to forge a greater connection with music, people, and the planet. During a ten-minute amble through the beautiful winding paths, you&#8217;ll encounter the ancient practise of burning sage&nbsp;to heal the mind, heart, and body, and&nbsp;you&#8217;ll also have the opportunity to contemplate at one of the&nbsp;sacred spaces &#8211; lovingly decorated&nbsp;with restorative sculptures. Turns out nature really is the best remedy.</p>
