EVERGREEN SAUNA RITUAL

As winter settles in, the evergreens stand at their strongest. Their resin, their scent, their steady, enduring presence—this is the medicine we turn to at this time of year. In the heat and steam, spruce, pine and Siberian fir reveal a different kind of vitality: one that clears the breath, steadies the heart and lifts the spirit when the days grow dark.

This ritual is open to both men and women.

Led by Silvija Suliokaite, Lithuanian Pirtis practitioner, trained through Perkūnija Sauna School and the Baltic Pirtis - Spa School. My work is rooted in lineage, craft and care. Sauna is where I feel most at home, and it’s my intention to create a space where you can feel that too.

What to expect:

• Gentle arrival ritual with herbs and evergreen aromatics

• Warming salt scrub infused with pine and spruce

• Birch–evergreen whisking to open, restore and renew

• Nourishing pine-honey treatment to soften and enrich the skin

• Seasonal tea prepared especially for the evening

A few notes:

It’s recommended for women to avoid hair removal on the day of the sauna to prevent skin sensitivity.

Looking forward to sharing the first steam together. 🌬️

Step into a slow, sensory evening rooted in the ancestral sauna traditions of the Baltic lands.

This ritual draws on my Lithuanian heritage, weaving together the wisdom of the Pirtis with herbal medicine, folklore and plant spirit. Guided by the rhythms of the season and the healing power of trees and wild plants, you’ll be invited to soften, release, and return to presence.

Held in the warmth of the sauna, aromatic steam mingles with wild-foraged salt scrubs and hand-crafted whisks to create a space of deep restoration and reconnection.

Rooted in tree energetics, infused with plant essences, and dusted with whispers of Baltic amber, this is a body prayer - a communion with the wisdom of the Earth.

A collaboration with Ivan Beats The Gong hosted at Sweheat Sauna.

The ritual is going to take participants on a four-stage journey: starting with a gentle introduction to the heat, followed by salt therapy and whisking, then a refreshing shower of sparkling mineral water, and finally a calming mask to close the evening.

It’s an experience where heat, aromas and natural elements come together to open up a whole new dimension of the sauna.
