Sauna Secrets with Zita

What happens

The ritual

One evening holds several rounds of heat, cold and rest. You leave washed, loose and quietly restored.

1

The body arrives. The mind follows.

2

A full-body scrub opens the skin and the capillaries.

3

Gentle heat, aromas, the first touch of the whisk.

4

The heart of the ritual — heat, rhythm, then weightless rest.

5

Everything settles.

Summer · Aunēni, 70 km from Riga

An outdoor pirts ritual with an overnight stay at Aunēni, tucked into the edge of a pine forest an hour from Riga.

18:00 — we prepare the whisks and the sauna together19:00 — the ritual begins
Night in a warm hammock under the trees, or in the summer house
11:00 next morning — a proper breakfast, then wander the woods or head home
Everything is provided — ritual kit, hammocks, a light dinner and a hearty breakfast
Alcohol doesn’t pair with the ritual — alcohol-free beer is a fine option
This is the Latvian outdoors — mosquitoes, ticks and midges included :)
