Botanic healing through the Pirts, an ancient sauna ritual that incorporates the four elements: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air
A pirts is a traditional Latvian steam bath, similar in some ways to a sauna but distinct in its rituals and significance. It is typically a small wooden structure where heated stones create steam through the addition of water infused with herbs. Unlike modern saunas, which focus primarily on heat, the pirts experience incorporates massage, aromatic herbs, and ritualistic practices aimed at purifying the body and mind. The use of birch, oak, or juniper whisking (slapping the body with bundles of leaves) enhances circulation and detoxification.
Latvian Sauna Ritual currently practices in the beautiful Catskill Mountains of New York and in Southern California , both locations offer a stunning backdrop for those who appreciate nature.
Private or group bookings can be arranged to Latgale region of Latvia , which is rich in Latvian traditions.
