​Men’s Banya Ritual 🔥🌿 with Rita

​A high-heat sauna ritual with birch & oak veniks, herbal steam, body care & deep rest

​This evening was born almost by accident.
During one of our mixed Sauna Banya Nights, I shared with some of the men what happens during the women-only Banya Ritual. Their reaction was immediate: “Why don’t we get an evening like that?”

​So here it is — our first Banya Ritual created exclusively for men.

​An evening designed to get you out of your head and back into your body through intense heat, steam, scent, traditional banya techniques, and deep rest.

​We often move through daily life carrying responsibility, pressure, decisions, and a constantly active mind. This evening creates a space where, for a few hours, nothing needs to be solved or achieved.

​The experience unfolds across three guided sauna rounds, each with its own rhythm and intensity.

​Round 1 — Arriving

​We begin gradually.
The first round gives your body time to adjust to the heat and steam, slow down, and settle into the experience.

​Round 2 — Heat & Intensity

​This is the heart of the evening.
The temperature rises significantly, creating a more intense physical experience designed to bring your attention fully into the body.

​We’ll work with birch and oak veniks, aromatic herbal steam made from a homemade herbal infusion, and a special herbal salt body scrub prepared specifically for this evening.

​Some parts of the venik ritual are contact-free, while others gently bring the veniks directly onto the body in the traditional banya style.

​Round 3 — Release & Deep Rest

​The final round brings the intensity back down.
The heat becomes softer and the pace slower — giving the body time to relax, settle, and gradually close the ritual.

​Between rounds, there is plenty of time to cool down, use the cold plunge, rest, drink homemade herbal tea, or simply sit and do nothing.

​Connection is welcome, but never required. You can enjoy the evening quietly on your own or use the space for new conversations and encounters.
