Special sauna rituals are also offered to future brides and grooms, as well as the new couple together.
For us Latvians, like other northern nations, the sauna is an ancient and important cultural and historical tradition of purification, a healing place for the soul and a place for cleansing the body and spirit. Although other nations also use natural resources in the sauna, it is the Latvian sauna that stands out for its diverse use of plants, using not only brooms from certain tree species, but also a wide variety of plants.
There are three saunas in Ziedlei - Stikla Sauna, Dumu or Black Sauna and Vilnas Sauna, which were built in a modern design, at the same time based on traditional architecture. In the cold season, the sauna contrasts become greater, the sauna experience warms, frees and inspires. In the smoke and glass sauna, bathers bathe in such a way that they don't want to think about anything but themselves and the present moment, while the wool sauna takes them on an incredible meditative adventure.
The basic sauna cure is up to four hours long, a range of rich procedures in the sauna, with the main goal of giving rest to the body and spirit, relaxing the body, giving respite from the daily rush and tension, as well as regaining new strength and balance in oneself. The special sauna ritual (for example, sauna, birthday, bridal, couple matching or healing ritual) is a special event in the sauna lasting 4-6 hours, under the guidance of Ziedlej masters, during which successive actions are performed with a certain intention, feeling and energy. this type of ritual requires special preparation on the part of the masters, as well as a special mood for the bathers themselves. Ritual actions performed in the sauna are important throughout the rest of one's life, therefore the performance of this type of ritual requires prior communication with the masters of the sauna in order to specify the aspects of the ritual and its purpose.
