Deep Sauna Ritual
The Deep Sauna Ritual is an extended and immersive sauna experience in which heat, steam and natural elements guide you into an exceptionally deep state of relaxation. Over three unhurried hours, the ritual unfolds gradually through several stages, giving both body and mind time to settle and relax more deeply.
The ritual uses a variety of birch whisks, plants, herbs, salt and honey, with peat available upon request. The experience may also include traditional incantations, rhythmic whisking, alternating warmth and coolness, and different techniques involving steam, water and air. The Deep Sauna Ritual also includes floating in a cool-water pool, adding a calming and supportive element to the experience.
The extended duration allows the sauna practitioner to tailor the ritual closely to your wishes, energy levels and the atmosphere of the moment. Although the experience can be deep and powerful, it always progresses safely and at a pace that feels right for you.
The Deep Sauna Ritual also includes herbal tea and light refreshments during the experience. It can be booked for one or two people.
Swimwear or Nude?
You are welcome to take part nude, partly in swimwear or fully in swimwear. We recommend avoiding very covering swimwear, however, as the heat of the sauna, birch whisks, honey, salt and other natural materials work best when they can be applied directly to the skin.
Your personal comfort and privacy are always respected throughout the ritual. Towels or birch whisks can be used to cover the body whenever needed, according to the situation and your preferences.
Rauni Treatment Sauna
Deep Sauna Rituals take place in Rauni, our dedicated treatment sauna located within the sauna grounds. In front of the sauna there is a small outdoor area where you can cool down and relax between stages of the experience.
Guests also have access to a changing room, shower and traditional outdoor toilet.
The price does not include access to the smoke sauna or hot tubs. If you would like to combine your ritual with a smoke sauna experience or one of our public sauna sessions, admission can be purchased separately.
