Plant and pirtis culture camp. Photo of R. Kavaliauskas.

In the green heart of Lithuania, among sacred hills and old forests, the wisdom of the sauna lies in nature. We will rekindle our sense of belonging – to the land, to each other, and to ourselves – through herbal traditions, lunar rituals, and sauna rituals. Rather than lectures, we choose stories. Rather than schedule, we follow rhythm. Instead of watching, we experience it.

Learn how birch, pine, juniper, meadowsweet, and wildflowers enhance respiration, calm the soul, and balance the body. We'll combine ancient pirtis traditions with sensory exercises — creating hydrosols, herb infusions, and scented plants to evoke memory and healing. Read more and register!

Sauna Aid Program

This program is designed to support people, who just faced extremal situations, disasters or big loses, such as war, natural or technical catastrophes, or traumatizing personal situations. Bath hosts, offering the Sauna Aid support, are specially trained to work with people, who recently had traumatizing experience.
This program is designed as quick help in emergency situation, but it is NOT healing and DOESN’T offer long term support.

Registration and more information here.

Where and when can the program be offered?

1. Mobile or stationary saunas in refugees’ camps or other places with big concentration of people, who meets the criteria of the Sauna Aid situation.
2. Stationary saunas, close to the places, where people, who need help, are moved just after the traumatizing event.

The Sauna Aid service can be offered immediately, when the need arises, and people, who get the service, are in a physically and emotionally safe place or as a tool of rehabilitation, but not longer than 1 month after the start of integration or rehabilitation process.
