Sauna Night: Women-only slavic banya ceremony
Slavic Banya Ceremony with Tree Whisks
Experience the warmth and traditions of Slavic banya in a special women-only evening at FUTURA HOUSE. Slow down and spend time in the circle of other women. Imagine a warm, gentle banya: the scent of herbs, oak and birch whisks, stories shared between steam sessions, homemade scrubs and the simple joy of taking care of one another.
You’ll be guided through a carefully designed banya ceremony facilitated by steam masters Tanya and Taya. The evening follows a continuous journey, where each round builds on the previous one for gradually warming and softening the body. You’ll experience traditional steaming with tree whisks, relaxing whisk massage, and the rich natural aromas of leaves and herbs that fill the steam room and deepen the sensory experience.
Banya is also a practice of presence. We invite you to reconnect with yourself through guided meditation practices. You leave the steam room feeling renewed, with a lightness in your body and a clear, quiet mind.
