The sauna was not just a place for washing, birth, and death but also a space for folk magic. The sauna as a building and place has a long history, it is a traditional log building, but also a spiritual space and the core of Finnish wellness. Dalva will discuss how old traditions continue today, blending ancient knowledge with modern approaches.
