Fire & Ice: A Winter Awakening
A Ritual of Renewal
There is no growth in comfort.
Indulge in a profound winter wellness ritual at SABI, where the interplay of fire and ice awakens the senses and restores the body.
Step in. Surrender. Emerge transformed.
To step into the ice is to surrender—to let go and allow the cold to strip away tension and thought. Transformation unfolds, revitalising the body, restoring the mind, and returning balance.
Submerge yourself in SABI’s signature outdoor ice bath, set on a secluded forest deck surrounded by Tasmania’s raw wilderness. Let the clarity of winter envelop you—a moment of intensity that awakens both body and mind.
Guided breathwork is woven into the experience, preparing the body for the cold, steadying the mind through immersion, and restoring balance, deepening the ritual.
Emerge renewed and transition into warmth. Gather by the flickering fire pit under the open sky, or retreat to the sanctuary of our hot Onsen, where the enveloping heat soothes and restores. Kimono-style robes and SABI slippers are provided to complete the experience.
Extend the ritual with an optional guided breath-work session to deepen your experience, or let the warmth of SABI’s Signature Sake Tasting Flight complete the journey.

Nature’s Embrace: Forest Bathing with SABI
A Ritual of Presence
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.
Step away from the noise of the world and immerse yourself in nature’s quiet rhythm.
Forest bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku, is the ancient Japanese practice of healing through nature—an intentional ritual of reconnecting with the living landscape. More than a walk, forest bathing is about slowing down, awakening your senses, and moving through nature with quiet awareness.
The forest offers no urgency, only presence. Inhale the rich scent of damp bark and tea tree, a quiet invitation to slow your breath. Feel the earth soften underfoot, grounding you—steady, unhurried. Listen to the gentle hush of shifting branches moving overhead, tracing slow patterns against the sky, or the distant hum of the ocean carried on the breeze. Here, time expands. Take a deep breath, let nature’s healing power wash over you, and embrace the tranquility of the forest.
At SABI, we invite you to disconnect to reconnect. Choose from three pristine East Coast trails, each carefully selected for its serenity and immersive quality. With a personalised map and guided meditation, you are invited to move slowly, with intention— through a journey of quiet observation, reflection, and renewal.
Your experience includes a copy of the book Your Guide to Forest Bathing, a thoughtful companion to enrich your practice, offering insights into the healing power of the forest long after you’ve returned home.
Elevate your journey with a mindful tea ceremony or woodland picnic, allowing you to savour the experience along the way. For those seeking a deeper connection, private guided walks are available on enquiry.

For centuries, the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku has been revered for its transformative effects on both body and mind. Modern research has reinforced its ability to:
Find Calm & Let Go of Stress – Time in the forest naturally lowers stress hormones, slows the heart rate, and brings a deep sense of relaxation.
Clear Your Mind & Lift Your Mood – Gentle immersion in nature enhances focus, creativity, and emotional balance while reducing anxiety and depression.
Support Your Body’s Natural Rhythms – Strengthens immunity, improves sleep, and restores overall wellbeing, allowing the body to reset in nature’s quiet presence.
Forest bathing at SABI is an invitation to experience nature differently—not simply as a place to visit, but as something to engage with, breathe in, and move through with intention.
