GRIEF RITUALISED SAUNA BATHING AFTERNOON

he grief sauna is a grief sensitive ritualised bathing session for all genders. It is a mixture of ritual and sauna practice to offer a grief tending space. The pillar of the grief sauna is you do not have to name or speak about your grief, rather you are invited go through a sauna ritual rooted in somatic self body touch, breath and awareness. This is a journey you are invited to make space for your grief. We will use scrubs, leaf whisking, fire ceremony, music and oils to create a nourishing place for you to turn up as you are. You are invited to go as deeply as you feel you can whilst having autonomy over yourself. This aims to be therapeutic but is not a therapy. This may not be the space if your loss was very recent.
After the guided sauna, there is an option to stay and enjoy homemade soup around the fire.
