Long before sauna became something we booked at a spa, the Lithuanian pirtis was the cleanest house in the village.
It held births, healing, and the final preparation of the dead.
In many ways, it was the true centre of life…

I don’t think many women dislike sauna.
I think many women simply haven’t been met properly by the heat.

On pine, clarity, and working with what is sharp.

On linden, softness, and the kind of strength that doesn’t hurry.

On oak, strength, and what it means to stay.

On birch, ritual, and relationship.
