As the longest night of the year approaches, there’s a natural call to slow down, rest, and turn inward. The Winter Solstice (happening on June 21st) marks the seasonal turning point where darkness peaks and the light begins its slow return - a time traditionally honoured through ritual, reflection, and rest. This year, Sydney’s Wunderlich Lane is embracing the spirit of the season with Nightshift, a week-long Winter Solstice Festival running from June 16–22. While the program features a wide array of events, we’ve handpicked three offerings that truly speak to the wellness lover’s soul- think sleep rituals, sensory soaks, and city-stay staycations designed to restore and reconnect. 1. The Parlour Room’s Sleep Ritual Created especially for Nightshift, this 2-hour grounding experience is designed to help you drift into your deepest rest yet. The Sleep Ritual begins with flowing hot stone massage, soothing aromatherapy, and magnesium-infused balms to melt away tension. A nourishing scalp treatment, soft linens, and a gentle meditation round out the ritual- ideal for those experiencing insomnia or restlessness. Post-treatment, you’ll be served a cup of serenity tea to complete your wind-down, and you can extend the experience with their curated Sleep Ritual Take-Home Pack ($70 value) featuring luxe sleep aids like a silk eye mask, magnesium body rub, Typebea Hair Mask, body polish, sleepy tonic and more. 2. Nocturne Nightdrift at The EVE Hotel Launching on June 16th and continuing all winter long, Nocturne Nightdrift transforms The EVE Hotel’s poolside into a magical, slow-living escape. Guests are invited to sink into the 30°C heated pool beneath the stars, wrapped in signature blankets while curated soundscapes and a seasonal menu by Lottie set the mood. Top it off with a bespoke hot winter cocktail and you've got the ultimate way to honour the solstice. This experience is exclusively for EVE guests which brings us to the next thing we want to highlight. 3. The Nocturne Nights Winter Stay Package Need a reset but can’t get away from Sydney? This overnight wellness stay is your perfect excuse to check out while staying close without the need to pack your passport or take a week off work. You’ll enjoy:
