The Oasis Chillout Garden
A sanctuary inside the festival—low-stim, high-care, and musically uplifting. Stretch out, slow down, and let the nervous system exhale.
What the Oasis is (and why it matters)
Festivals peak when there’s space to land. The Oasis gives your system a place to downshift, integrate, and reconnect—so the rest of the weekend feels richer.
Reset your baseline
Gentle sound, soft lighting, and clear boundaries invite parasympathetic rest—your body’s “restore” mode.
Belonging by design
Floor seating, rugs, cushions, and shaded nooks create a cozy, inclusive atmosphere for all bodies.
Care on tap
Tea bar, water stations, and rotating facilitators for breath cues, stretch breaks, and light check-ins.
Sound that lifts without overwhelming
Downtempo, psydub, ambient journeys, live flute & handpan, and story-led sets from Breathe Records & friends.
Chaptered sets
Hosts use iPlayer stories to guide arcs: arrive → soften → open → integrate.
Softer gains
Careful volume management and EQ for clarity at low levels—conversation stays a whisper.
