TREATMENTS
Pirts Spirit's Latvian Treatment courses are held in the heart of Latvia, where you can fully immerse yourself in authentic Pirts tradition, culture, and the sacred land it comes from.
Start by learning the Pirts Spirit Air treatment and let the journey carry you through the all four levels, Fire, Water and Earth, if you feel called. With each return, you'll deepen your understanding of the physiological and energetic properties of healing plants and trees, how to harvest, bind and use them in Pirts, you will learn to work with scrubs and honey treatments, deeply connect to the four elements and develop the confidence to attune to your guest’s needs for more intuitive and intentional journeys.
Each level is residential, held over 5 days in the Latvian forest, guided by Pirts Spirit and Latvian Pirts masters together.
What to Expect
You'll be guided by a small team of teachers — Pirts Spirit's own trainers alongside Latvian Pirts masters — each bringing their own wisdom to the course.
Days move between hands-on practice in and out of Pirts, theory and knowledge from our teachers, time in the forest to connect with nature, and immersion in Latvian culture, music and Pirts tradition.
Meals are prepared fresh each day by a local chef, blending traditional Latvian flavours with seasonal ingredients — dietary requirements are always accommodated.
Held at Ziedlejas Wellness and immersed in nature.

The Four Elemental Journey for Latvian Treatments
Level 1
Air Treatment
Birch and Eucalyptus
Learn the 45-minute Pirts Spirit Air treatment that connects your guests with the pioneering power of birch whisks and energising eucalyptus whisks.
You'll learn the step-by-step procedure, along with whisk techniques that support relaxation of the whole body including steam dances, light touch, compresses for the joints and whisk massage (flapping).
Learn how to manage the heat for yourself and your guest and how to use gentle water contrast for relaxation.
You'll also learn how to prepare your Pirts and your whisks, how to ground yourself using mindfulness techniques, basic physiology to understand why and how you work with the body and how to create a safe space where the guest can fully open to the spirit of Pirts and the plants.
Level 2
Fire Treatment
The Oak Tree, 10 Magical Herbs and Peeling procedure
Learn the 90-minute Pirts Spirit Fire treatment as you add the energizing force of oak whisks to your practice.
You will refine your techniques from Level 1 and then master new whisk techniques, including whisk massage (flapping techniques) that deliver new sensations and intentions to your treatment.
Include the magic of 10 herbs, learn about their properties and how to use them in Pirts to bring new energy, natural healing properties and new sensory experiences.
Learn the peeling procedure which includes a full-body scrub, learn to make the scrub using fresh herbs and how to apply it during Pirts.
Further deepen your knowledge of the physical and energetic body and learn how to manage your own energy and heat while staying grounded and present during the experience.
Level 3
Water Treatment
Linden and Bird Cherry, more herbs, honey and whisking techniques
Learn the Pirts Spirit Water treatment and embrace the calming, gentle energy of linden leaves and bird cherry whisks.
Take your treatment procedure to the next level by adding a natural honey rub, more healing herbs and learn how to use propolis mats and make your own herbal carpets to enhance the guest experience.
You'll also learn how to guide your guest through rest periods between treatment phases.
You will deepen your technical and theoretical skills and feel more confident guiding the treatment with both intuition and your guest's intentions. Although you will learn the water procedure, you will now have the ability to be more creative with it using your own intuition, since you have the theory and skills to guide the whole experience.
Level 4
Earth Treatment
Maple and Pine, more herbs, clay application and mastery
Experience the ultimate dance of the elements as you bring all of your knowledge together to create the earth treatment, the final element.
You will learn how to bind and use maple whisks and pine whisks for an additional sensory experience.
You will also learn to apply clay in the treatment as you connect with the earth element.
With all of your techniques, skills, knowledge, and practice, you will create your own ritual with guidance from Pirts Spirit and our Pirts masters.
You will guide your guests through the complete procedure and experience what it is like to be a Pirts Spirit Master of the Elements.
