Ritual Sauna

The ritual sauna therapy will be led by Lukas Gužauskas. This is a four-season experience in a Baltic white bath:

1st round. Winter: The sauna is ‘tamed’ through the sensation of the Earth element - odour by using aromatherapy.

2nd round. Spring: For pealing old skin by using natural scrubs prepared by the sauna master.

3rd round. Summer: Bathing brushwood and hot steam pasodoble to warm the joints. After this round, we’ll invite you to take a swim in the lake Didysai Šiaurys.

4th round. Autumn: also known as Barchart when the skin is gently nourished with a duo of cocoa/coffee and honey.

Gong Therapy

Together with the Gong Master Raimondas Binkauskas we will lie down and get immersed into the world of sound - relaxing vibrations, deeper than the waves of the eternally restless sea of the mind and emotions. A meditation experience with the sounds of gongs and bowls.

The meditation and sound therapy ceremonies last 2 to 3 hours.

You will need comfortable and warm clothing and a warm blanket.

The hike takes 3 to 4 hours.

We always recommend the Šiaurys cooks, who have surprised hundreds of customers with the taste and simplicity of the food they make. Local women from the Labanoras Forest will prepare home-cooked food from local products, according to your needs.

Your food journey can also be accompanied by our country’s most famous chefs, dinner on the lake shore or in the forest, and food education:

Aleksandras – Uzbek meat dishes - exclusive recipes for lamb, chicken and beef dishes and the traditions of making real pilaf and baking home-made bread.

Mantas Maldeikis - a gastro hooligan from a burger office who grills fingerfood with his team. The carousel grillfood tasting (a little bit of everything, ca. 600 to 700g per person) lasts about 5 hours. Vegan, vegetarian and omnivore dietary styles are on offer.

Facial Massage

This is the time to heal the soul. Gindrida, a holistic beauty supporter, will accompany you on this journey.

A personalised non-invasive facial treatment using a variety of massage techniques and the highest quality skincare products which will relax and heal.

Full-Body Massage

Viktorija, an admirer of nature and healthy living, lives in the neighbourhood of Šiaurys. Our neighbour in the forest is a qualified and professional massage therapist/rehabilitation specialist. She is ready to not only relieve your muscle tensions during your stay but also to tell you a little more about how to get rid of them.

Viktorija specialises in deep tissue massages. This massage is not only for those who are sportive or who experience high levels of physical exertion - it is also ideal for those who constantly feel emotional tension all over their bodies. It is a strong toning massage that affects all muscle groups, using slow, deep, and strong movements of the elbows or forearms.

Cocoa Ceremony

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) is translated from the Greek as ‘food of Gods’.

Cocoa has been known since ancient times for its various healing properties for the body and soul.

While enjoying this food of the Gods, you will experience the heart-opening ritual of cacao and immerse yourself in meditative self-exploration. And when the inner noise calms down, there is a deep sense of merging with nature and ancestors. Magical rituals, deep meditation and the sounds of live sounds will take you on a sensitive inner journey.

Meditation / Silence Sauna

For our ancestors, a sauna was much more than a place to wash their bodies. Sauna was devoted to magical rituals to purify the body and soul. To recreate these traditions, we organise a silence sauna with meditation. The ritual releases the mind and thoughts, relaxing the body and bringing inner peace.

Sauna ritual:
1. The ritual of the first steam - meditation.
2. Salt treatments - outdoor meditation.
3. Bathing brushwood - swimming - meditation.
4. Honey treatments complete the circle of the sauna.

The Silence Sauna is an internal conversation so you won’t need your voice or telephones.

The meditation and Silence Sauna ceremony lasts 3 to 4 hours.

The sauna ritual is led by Ugnius Leimontas, a teacher of mindfulness, introspection and meditation.
