: Womens Guided Banya

THUR 15th JANUARY 6.45-8.15PM

£26/90-mins

Join us for a very special guided banya with Sasha Davai.

Banya is a traditional Slavic bathing practice, similar to a sauna, but with slightly lower heat and higher humidity, designed to soften the body and deepen the effects of steam.

The session unfolds over two to three guided steam cycles and includes herbal inhalations, salt scrubbing, oak-leaf whisking, and cooling ice massage. Each element is introduced gently, allowing time for rest, integration, and connection.

Sasha’s work focuses on collective women’s banyas, inspired by communal rituals that once marked important transitions in women’s lives. Trained in parenie (traditional oak and birch whisking), she brings these ancestral practices into a contemporary, supportive group setting.

This session is ideal if you:

  • Are curious about banya or guided sauna rituals

  • Enjoy sensory, ritual-led experiences

  • Want something nurturing, grounding, and communal

  • Are looking for a slower, more intentional sauna experience

Creative Writing Sauna

SATURDAY 17th JANUARY 5-7PM

£28/2 hour workshop

Begin your New Year with an evening of heat, stillness and imagination.

We’ll start with tea, easing gently into the warmth of the sauna to allow the body to soften, settle, and rest. After emerging from the heat, you’ll move into an hour of spacious, intentional writing time, guided by local writer Caroline Druitt.

This is slow, nourishing creative time, an invitation to listen inward, breathe deeply, and let words arrive without pressure. Through poems, writing prompts, intention-setting rituals, and gentle reflection, you’ll explore what’s emerging and shape intentions for the months ahead.

You’ll leave with new words, reflections, and ideas to carry into the rest of 2026.

Open to everyone. No writing experience needed. Held in a supportive, welcoming space.

Restore: Mixed-gender guided sauna

SAT 31st JANUARY 4.30-6PM

£26/90-mins

This guided sauna is a slow, intentional experience led by a trained sauna master, designed to help you fully drop into heat, steam, and rest.

Through gentle guidance, rhythmic whisking, aromatic essential oils, and subtle use of sound and scent, the session unfolds in waves, building warmth, encouraging release, and allowing space for deep rest in between rounds.

You’ll be guided through when to sit, breathe, cool down, and return, so there’s nothing to think about or perform. Just time to soften, reset, and reconnect with yourself and with others in the room.

This session is ideal if you’re:

  • Curious about guided sauna but new to it

  • Looking for a more immersive, sensory-led sauna experience

  • Craving something grounding, restorative, and quietly energising
