Testimonials

Laura Foon (Finland-Grean Britain)

The first day of the course was a very soft introduction to the Lithuanian pirtis.
The day was very practical and full of experience. This practical way was a great approach as without experience there is no way to understand. I was expecting whisking and that we did get! Introduction to self-whisking was deep and gave a lot to think about and to apply to use but the surprise was the multiple small notions like how the bathmaster uses air, water and salt to adjust the experience and facilitate the different types of participants.  I am curious about the rest of the course, hope to continue soon.
