About
A multi-sensory storytelling evening that blends the ancient human traditions of communal heat and oral storytelling. Through two distinct rounds, you will be guided through rising steam, rich aromatherapy, revitalising body scrubs, and restorative pauses with wild herbal tea in the open air.
Chapter 1, The Warming Breath: settle into the dry heat as you are introduced to the evening’s theme and the scene is set, with scented ice balls to provoke the imagination. Step outside for the Purifying Scrub: cool down between rounds with a nourishing body scrub, then return to the heat where stories and sensory rituals interweave. Chapter 2, The Steaming Plot: as the story unfolds, aromatic smoke and infused steam fill the room, drawing you deeper into the narrative and the physical space. Closing Circle: the final chapter concludes with a blissful cool-down with a herbal tea and a plunge in the lake.
What to bring: two towels (one to sit on, one to wrap up in); swimwear or light clothing suitable for a shared space; sandals or sliders for walking outside between rounds; a water bottle.
Immerse yourself in a journey designed to calm the mind, soften the skin, and awaken the senses. Perfect for those looking to unwind, connect with others, and experience sauna bathing as a meditative, creative ritual.
