ISHGA LAUNCHES SOUND THERAPY TREATMENTS AT THE SPA AT COWORTH PARK Dorchester Collection’s luxury country house hotel and spa, Coworth Park has introduced specialist sound therapy treatments by organic luxury seaweed skincare ishga (www.ishga.com). Located within 240 acres of Berkshire parkland, The Spa at Coworth Park provides a contemporary eco-luxury setting in which to enjoy the ishga sound therapy treatment, created in partnership with sound wellness brand Swell. This unique partnership aims to harness the power of sound, translating this into a range of therapeutic sound treatments to accompany ishga’s award-winning products. Guests at Coworth Park can enjoy relaxation and rejuvenation through sound therapy designed to be transportive, calming and relaxing. Swell’s unique approach to therapeutic sound was founded by international DJ and music psychology specialist Brian d’Souza and uses a combination of sound therapy and music composition to ensure ishga Sound Treatments capture the essence of the ocean and its home in the Hebrides. The 90-minute treatment is designed to work in harmony with the music as it takes the guest on a journey to the Hebrides. It begins with a seaweed foot bath, followed by the chimes of the Singing Bowl leading into a relaxing Balinese-inspired massage and concludes with a calming awakening at the end by the music of the Singing Bowl. The unique sound compositions are based on the natural sounds of the ocean, the beaches and the seaweed habitat of the Isle of Lewis. The soundscapes also draw on the musical traditions and instruments found in the Hebrides played throughout the treatment. Commenting on the partnership, the spa director at The Spa at Coworth Park, Teresa O’Farrell said; “We have built a strong relationship with ishga and are thrilled to be welcoming this unique sound therapy treatment to our wellness offering here at Coworth Park. Relaxation is at the forefront of everything we do here at The Spa at Coworth Park so we are excited to introduce this new bespoke experience to our guests.” To book, visit www.dorchestercollection.com/en/ascot/coworth-park THE CLIVEDEN LITERARY FESTIVAL RETURNS Hosted at Cliveden House in Berkshire, a luxurious privately owned five-star hotel and wedding venue, the Cliveden Literary Festival is renowned as a forum for lively discussion, innovative ideas, and political debate.
