What's it all about?

Step into Breath & Bass — Sheffield's only Drum & Bass Breathwork journey.

This immersive 3-hour experience at R1SE Urban Spa blends conscious breathwork, high-vibration Drum & Bass soundscapes, soothing sound healing, and the Fire & Ice Spa for full-body integration.

Guided by Macaulay Sutton and Lauren Bell from Arctic Alchemy, you'll release tension, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with your natural rhythm in a safe, trauma-informed space.

Whether you're new to breathwork or deep on your journey, this is your chance to breathe deep, feel alive, and leave renewed from the inside out.

Who is this for?

Open to all adults and all experience levels. Breath & Bass is for anyone feeling stressed, disconnected, or ready to release what's weighing them down. Whether you're new to breathwork or already exploring your inner world, this is an invitation to reset, recharge, and reconnect — through rhythm, breath, and sound.

What guests say about Macaulay

★★★★★

"First time here and it won't be the last. I wouldn't normally go for guided but I am so pleased I did. Our instructor Macaulay is Wim Hof trained which is amazing but as well as that he really knew his stuff and guided the session perfectly. Would 100% recommend."

— Mikayla S

★★★★★

"Our guided experience with Macaulay was really lovely. It was very calming and we worked on breathing techniques and really connecting with our bodies. Macaulay coached us on deep breathing while in the cold water bath which was really helpful as we hadn't done it before."

— Eunice N

★★★★★

"Transformative, both physically and mentally. I hadn't been sleeping well and I had my first good night's sleep in weeks after my session with Macaulay. All the staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. Time and money well spent."

This is a healing and transformative space — all experiences are valid and welcome. Please honour your body, breathe at your own pace, and trust the process.
