A Sacred Pirts Gathering is an intentional communal ritual rooted in Baltic folk tradition. It offers a meaningful alternative to modern forms of gathering that often rely on excess, distraction, or activities that do not truly nourish the body, heart, or spirit.
A Communal Baltic Sauna Ritual Through the Four Elements
The Latvian pirts is not only a place for individual healing — it has always been a space for community. For generations, people gathered in pirts to mark life transitions, celebrate rebirth, strengthen bonds, and restore harmony within the group.
This ritual is an invitation to come together with your loved ones — friends, partners, family, or community — in a way that is grounded, respectful, joyful, and deeply human. It is a return to shared presence, nature, and connection in the heart of a busy modern world. I offer these gatherings in Valencia, bringing ancestral Baltic ritual into a contemporary setting — accessible, inclusive, and held with care.
Fire
Fire warms, activates, and transforms. In the sauna, heat opens the body, softens resistance, and prepares us for release. Fire helps burn away what no longer serves — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Water
Water carries emotion. Through steam, washing, and cold immersion, we work with emotional release, purification of the heart, and renewal. Water teaches surrender and flow.
Air
Steam, breath, voice, and sacred songs work with the air element. Air clears the mental space, bringing clarity and opening access to intuition and inner knowing.
Earth
Plants, herbs, salt, and whisks come from the Earth. They ground, nourish, protect, and restore the nervous system. Each plant carries both physiological benefits and energetic intelligence.
The Intention of a Sacred Gathering
When people gather consciously, something powerful happens.
The pirts creates a container where connection deepens naturally — without pressure, performance, or expectation.
These gatherings are often chosen to mark:
Birthdays as rebirth rituals
Bridesmaids’ or pre-wedding gatherings
Life transitions or thresholds
Friends wishing to reconnect meaningfully
Community circles seeking grounding and renewal
Groups wanting to celebrate together in a healthy, intentional way
In a world full of noise and external influence, this ritual offers a space to slow down, listen, and remember what truly matters — each other, the body, and the Earth.
Healing in pirts happens through the natural forces we are made of. By moving consciously through these elements, we remember that healing does not come from outside — it arises when the body reconnects with nature and its own wisdom.
The Ritual Journey
Before We Meet
The ritual begins days before our physical meeting.
I connect intuitively with the group’s collective energy, prepare herbal blends, and create the salt scrub marked with Baltic sacred symbols and protective words specifically for your gathering.
Before the event, I will contact you to understand the intention of the group so the ritual can be shaped accordingly.
Intention Setting
We begin by gathering as a group, setting shared intention, and inviting the natural forces to guide the process with clarity and ease.
Heating Rounds
We move through sauna rounds in smaller groups, allowing space for comfort and presence. Herbal steam, plants, and traditional pirts songs open the ritual space and invite the elements.
Somatic, Breath & Voice Work
During the cleansing phase, we may work with breath, natural voice opening, gentle movement, or somatic tools — depending on the group’s energy and needs.
Salt & Herbal Cleansing
A salt and herbal blend — prepared intuitively from Mediterranean and Latvian plants — is applied to cleanse the body and energy field. Heat, touch, and song support release on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.
Herbal Whisk Work — Self Practice
Instead of individual whisking, the group is guided in self-whisking practices. This becomes a powerful way to connect with sacred plants, learn their qualities, and work with them consciously in the sauna setting.
At times, groups may also create their own herbal whisks together, depending on intention and season.
Whisking:
Improves circulation and lymphatic flow
Relaxes muscles and joints
Stimulates the nervous system
Works energetically to release stagnation and restore vitality
Plants are invited as allies through song, symbols, and touch.
Plants Used
Depending on season and intuition, I work with:
Baltic Plants
Oak — strength, protection, masculine vitality
Linden — softness, heart healing, feminine energy
Birch — cleansing, renewal, emotional release
Juniper — protection, purification, grounding
Mugwort & Wormwood — intuition, vision, ancestral connection
Mediterranean Plants
Lavender — calming, nervous system balance
Rosemary — clarity, circulation, mental focus
Sage (Salvia) — purification, wisdom
Eucalyptus — breath, release, freshness
All plants are gentle and used with care. Allergies are always discussed in advance.
Cold-Water Immersion
Cold water completes the ritual cycle. It refreshes the nervous system, seals the work, and often brings a shared moment of clarity, presence, and renewal.
Integration & Rest
The ritual closes with rest and quiet integration. When appropriate, we share reflections and grounding practices to support the transition back into daily life.
Practical Information
What to Bring
Swimsuit
Towel
Slippers
Avoid eating at least 2 hours before the ritual
Language
Words are secondary in ritual work. I sing in my native language and guide intuitively.
I speak English fluently and understand Spanish and Russian. Even without shared language, the ritual communicates beyond words.
Group Size
Small groups of 4–8 people
Larger groups may be possible — please contact me to discuss.
An Invitation
The Sacred Pirts Gathering does not ask you to believe anything, follow a doctrine, or choose a path.
It simply offers what humans have always gathered around:
Fire. Water. Plants. Breath. Presence. Community.
A space to slow down.
A space to reconnect.
A space to remember that healing happens — together.
