The Wilderness Sauna Experience – A Retreat for Body, Mind, and Soul. Step away from the chaos of daily life and immerse yourself in a truly transformative outdoor experience. At its core, this is a sauna for the adventurous spirit, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance to reconnect with nature, yourself, and others in a deeply meaningful way. Set in a serene woodland on the side of a hill, our location is the perfect escape. With an authentic North American tipi as your retreat, you’ll feel fully immersed in the natural world.
The Ritual:
Begin by helping to maintain a low-roofed dome from hazel sticks, insulated with rugs and a waterproof cover. Heat stones in a roaring fire (that you’ll help build and maintain), then transfer them into the dome, where they’ll radiate heat and create a powerful, meditative atmosphere. We’ll guide you through the historical and spiritual significance of the lodge ritual, but the experience will be uniquely your own. The Day’s Flow:
