Imagine a warm, herbal sauna in a wooden cottage in the forest! The Latvian sauna traditions are deeply mystical, based on ancient folk traditions. The traditional Latvian sauna is an up to five hours long ceremony where your sauna master will combine medicinal herbs, chanting, heat and cold together with a set of rituals. Attending a Latvian sauna will be a highly transformative experience for you. During this online lecture you will get to know the Latvian sauna (called pirts) traditions. You will get to know the medicinal herbs and rituals used. You will understand the beneficial effects of the Latvian pirts on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. The Swedish herbalista Carmela and the Latvian herbalista Ilga will guide you through the deep mystics of Latvian pirts. You will receive information on upcoming physical sauna events in Sweden and in Latvia. You need to attend this online lecture in order to attend our pirts.

Carmela is a herbalist and founder of Örtfabriken. Carmela has attended several herbal courses in Sweden and abroad. A fascination with the simplicity and effectiveness of tinctures began to sprout.

★★★★★Jätteintressant föredrag med mycket fakta och kunskap kring denna otroligt spännande och levande lettiska bastu-tradition. Fint att få recept och idéer kring att göra egen scrub för saunan med örter och naturliga ingredienser. Bra att man kunde ställa frågor i chatten också.
