An invitation to connect deeply with nature
Yesterday I had the privilege of experiencing the Pirtis sauna ritual led by the Steam Guide Nick Tettersell at the Saunassa Spa in Newquay.
It was truly transformative and overwhelmingly beautiful.
Nick held the space for us with non-judgement, deep compassion and love, guiding us gently through the stages of Pirtis, helping us connect with ourselves and with nature, releasing thoughts and emotions that no longer serve us and setting intentions for the future.
We whisked our skin and the air in the sauna with ash, oak and lime leaves, both dispersing and generating energy. Nick poured a rosemary infusion onto the hot rocks, transporting us with the sharp tangy floral scent to meadows and forests and mountains. Our skin was scrubbed with seasalt, lavender and violet flowers… coffee grains and cacao, made by Nick with foraged botanicals from the natural landscape.
I feel new.
Reset.
Cleansed.
Content.
Held.
Loved.
I would highly recommend experiencing the Pirtis ritual with Nick… this ritual is a clearing, an act of self-love, an acknowledgement of your true being in a safe space where you can allow yourself to let go of all defences
