Come and enjoy a morning of nature centred wellness at Wild Space on our Autumn Recharge and Reset Mini Retreat. Experience a gentle grounding energy practice in nature as we work with the breath to balance and revitalise the body. We will then weave together our own pine sauna whisks as a meditative practice in preparation for our sauna.

Flow from Earth to Fire into a detox herbal sauna as we work with the heat of the sauna and the medicine of our pine whisks to release their powerful anti-oxidant and healing properties for the body. Cycle through rounds of hot and cold therapy, with the options of a wild shower and mineralised cold water plunge pool, to activate the lymphatic system, reduce inflammation, stimulate the immune system, and connect deeply with your body and your breath to calm and quiet the mind.

We close our session together with a warming cup of herbal tea around the fire pit to allow the body to attune and settle, you will leave feeling refreshed, recharged and restored.

Saturday 25th October, 2025. 10:00am to 12:30pm. 5 places available. £35 per person.

Health Benefits of Using a plant Whisk - "vihta" (pronounced vee-hta) in the Sauna.

1. Improves Blood Circulation
   Gentle whipping with a plant whisk stimulates the skin and blood vessels, helping to boost circulation throughout the body.

2. Relieves Muscle Tension and Joint Pain
   The rhythmic tapping can help relax tight muscles, ease joint stiffness, and reduce post-workout soreness.

3. Cleanses and Tones the Skin
   The leaves or trees and plants used for sauna whisks contain essential oils and natural compounds that help open pores, remove dead skin cells, and leave the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

4. Supports Respiratory Health
   The aromatic oils released from tree and plant leaves, such as betulin and salicylates, can ease breathing, making it especially beneficial for those with mild respiratory issues.

5. Detoxifies the Body
   Combined with sauna heat, birch whisking promotes sweating, which helps eliminate toxins through the skin.

6. Boosts Immunity
   Regular use can stimulate the immune system by increasing white blood cell activity and enhancing the body's natural defenses.

7. Reduces Stress and Anxiety
   The experience is deeply calming. The scent of birch, pine, juniper and other plants combined with the rhythmic motion and heat of the sauna, helps lower stress levels and promote mental clarity.

8. Improves Skin Conditions
   The tree and plant leaves used in sauna whisks have natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which help soothe skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or rashes.

9. Natural Aromatherapy
   The refreshing, scent of pine, rosemary and birch leaves acts as a natural aromatherapy, invigorating the senses and uplifting the mood.

10. Tradition and Ritual
    Beyond physical health, using a birch whisk connects you to centuries-old sauna traditions that promote holistic wellness and mindfulness.
