Agate brings a rare mix of strong presence, warmth, and authenticity. Our guests genuinely loved her events — not just the rituals themselves, but the energy and personality she brings into the space. She connects effortlessly with people and creates experiences that feel memorable and meaningful.

The Practice

On Pirts, Community & the Ritual of Gathering

We are healed in community. We are held by the elements. Gathering together in warmth, in honesty, in ceremony — is itself medicine.

Across cultures and time, people have gathered in circles — to connect, rest, grieve, celebrate, pass wisdom. The circle is our oldest form: no hierarchy, no performance. Just the shared warmth of being together.

In Latvian tradition, this gathering found its home in the pirts — the sacred sauna. Not a place to wash, but a threshold between worlds: intimate, smoke-scented, where oak, birch and wild herbs hung in the steam. The heat loosened what the mind held tightly. People came here as kin.

Pirts is a ceremonial womb — a place of return. Fire, water, plants, and breath carry us beyond the armour of ordinary life. Healing moves through the body, through the collective field, through song and silence alike. This thread runs through all cultures — the Temazcal, the sweat lodge, the hammam. I carry this knowing from the Latvian forests, and I bring it wherever we gather.

This is what we tend when we meet in the fire.
