I have been sweating and making others sweat for a while now. Why do I do what I do? Because it’s pure, and I love it. In the Sauna/Pirts, it’s just five elements, people and me, nothing else matters. But the real deal? The people. That afterglow, that sparkle in their eyes after a Pirts/Sauna session… nature has touched them. That’s what keeps me going, every time. Honest, raw, and real.

Three pioneering practitioners rooted in tradition, each bringing their own approach to sauna through ritual, teaching and lived practice.
Across three days in the woods, you’ll experience sauna beyond the surface. Rituals, talks, Q&As, workshops, steam, fire, rest.
This is not a big festival. It’s a smaller, more focused gathering. Space to connect, learn and go deeper.
Alongside our international guests:
- Sauna rituals from fantastic UK sauna masters (More on this soon!)
- Introductory training workshops
– Panel discussions and shared conversations
– Sauna hat making with @sussexsaunahats
- Plant and leaf workshops
– Fire gatherings
– Plenty of sauna (of course!)
- Nourishing food included
Tickets are live. Limited spaces. Link in bio.
