Rituals

Welcome to a unique experience. We host sauna rituals every week.

A sauna ritual is guided, quiet sauna session, where you use all your senses. Herbs, fragrance and steam from the oven are often used. The body is alternately exposed to heating and cooling. Some rituals have elements of meditation and stretching, and some involve gently beating yourself with a bunch of leafy birch.

The ritual at Bademaschinen is a guided event where body, heat and herb-scented steam all come together. Variations in temperature and cold water gives a cleansing sensation and helps improve circulation.

This ritual in the sauna Rådhuset at Langkaia is for everyone who enjoys stretching. Calm stretching and muscle relaxation lets you experience improved body awareness. The group may be divided into two to better benefit from the session – one half enjoys the sauna while the other stretches. Tea will be served. You’ll have to be able to handle sauna temperature in order to participate.
