Guided sauna rituals based on ancient wisdom
The sauna has been a sacred place for Finns since ancient times. Finnish sauna culture is recognized as part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Through elements of sauna mythology and traditional ceremonies, you will experience a living cultural heritage with ancient roots.
Saunotus, a traditional sauna ritual or ceremony guided by sauna healer, is a wonderful way to celebrate special moments, such as birthday, christmas and other turning points of the annual cycle, or bridal sauna at the bachelorette party, for example. Traditional saunotus can be an experience that brings you back to the rhythm of nature. It opens a deep connection to nature within ourselves and the greater cycles of life. Sauna is a warm, quiet and authentic space where one can be at peace. Saunotus is grounding, soothing, and deeply connected to Finnish nature and mythology.
