This monthly guided sauna ritual is a deeper, more immersive 1.5-hour experience (60 minute sauna plus time either side for changing and sauna tea afterwards), inspired by traditional Lithuanian Pirtis practices and held in a small, intentional group. Led by qualified Sauna Master Fiona (Bloom with Berry), the ritual weaves together heat, breath, and gentle guidance — including birch or oak whisking — to support circulation, release, and nervous system regulation. Cooling moments between rounds, including cold water or ice bathing, help create balance and integration throughout the session, allowing the body to fully respond to both heat and rest. This is a shared ritual held with care and presence, offering a powerful way to reconnect with body, breath, and the natural environment. Group size is kept intentionally small (minimum 2, maximum 6 participants) to ensure a safe, grounded, and personal experience for everyone attending. All sessions take place at Howgills Hideaway, a peaceful rural retreat surrounded by rolling hills and open skies. The outdoor thermal area includes a wood-fired sauna, outdoor shower facilities, and space for cooling and rest between rounds — creating a calm, nature-led setting for renewal.
