Activities for your quality rest

“Šiaurys” offers its guests immersive forest experiences. We want your leisure time to be as engaging and meaningful as possible, so we provide a range of additional services.

Ritual sauna

The ritual sauna therapy will be accompanied by the sauna master Lukas Gužauskas. This is a four-season experience in a Baltic smoke sauna. The ritual uses aromatherapy, body scrubs, vantas and natural skin nourishing products.

The duration of the ritual is 3-4 hours, but can be tailored to suit guests' preferences if required.

Gong therapy

Together with gong master Raimondas Binkauskas, we will lie down and dive into the world of sound - relaxing vibrations, deeper than the waves of the eternally restless sea of the mind and emotions. This is a meditation experience with the sounds of gongs, sound bowls and dozens of other unique instruments.

The meditation and sound therapy ceremony lasts 2 hours.

Hike in Labanoras forest

Andrėjus Gaidamavičius - a forester, biologist and geologist, also known as the Wolf of Labanoras, knows the area like the back of his hand. A guide in his native Labanoras Forest will invite you to get to know the plants, mushrooms and animals typical of the area, whether it is winter or summer time.

The hike lasts between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the chosen route.

Sup tour

Tomas – an ornithologist, nature observer and enthusiast, and wildlife photographer, who, through active paddleboarding excursions and immersive experiences, reveals the distinctive character and uniqueness of this corner of Labanoras Forest.

The tour duration is 2–5 hours, depending on the chosen route.

Yoga theory and practice

Dive into yourself in silence - into the ancient essence of Yoga that has flowed through the earth for thousands of years. Discover this psycho-physical discipline from India, which calms the inner chaos and reveals a spiritual space of sensation and harmony.

Yoga Ritual Includes:
- A theoretical lecture on the eight-limbed (Ashtanga) philosophy of Yoga.
- Physical exercise and stretching - asanas (for beginners and experienced practitioners).
- A deep relaxation session.

The yoga practice lasts 2–3 hours. Guided by Andrius Šešelgis.

Full body massage

Deep tissue massage by Karolis is not only for those who are active in sports or who experience high physical exertion - it is also suitable for those who feel constant emotional tension throughout their body. It is a powerful toning and toning massage for all muscle groups, performed with slow, deep, strong movements, using the elbows or forearms to assist.

Massage duration depends on your needs.

Cacao ceremony

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) translates from the Greek as “food of Gods”. Cocoa has been known since ancient times for its various healing properties for body and soul. As you enjoy this food of the Gods, you will experience the heart-opening ritual of cacao and immerse yourself in a meditative self-exploration. And when the inner noise subsides, you will feel a deep connection with nature and your ancestors. Magical rituals, deep meditation and the sounds of living sounds will take you on a sensitive inner journey. Cacao rituals/ceremonies are led by Ezopas.

Duration of the ceremony: 2-3 hours.

Sound therapy / Sound healing

Sound therapy provides rest and renewal for body, mind and soul, and leads to a harmonising, subconsciously transforming inner state. This is done through the sound of sacred instruments, the voice, vibrations, percussion (koshi, tingsha bells, chime sticks, Tibetan, crystal bowls, Terre Pangi, shamanic drums, gongs, hang drum), as well as through scents and a subtle touch.

Classes are led by Andrius Šešelgis and Asta Treinė.

Wim Hof method practices

Žilvinas Gruodis is a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, helping people to gain more energy, stress resilience and well-being. The breathing techniques, cold therapy and mental preparation he teaches are simple but highly effective methods to strengthen the body naturally.

The duration of the practices is 3–5 hours, depending on the number of participants.

Meditation / silent sauna

The Silence Bath is an internal conversation, so no voices or telephones are needed. The ritual is led by Ugnius Leimontas, a teacher of mindfulness, self-care and meditation.

The meditation and silence bath ritual lasts 3-4 hours.
