EDUCATION

Pirts Spirit education offers a pathway to authentic wellness experiences, inspired by Latvian Pirts tradition and guided by nature and the four elements.

In Latvian Pirts tradition, the sauna (Pirts) is much more than just heat and steam. It's a sacred place where nature, elements and intention come together, a place for transformation and reconnection, where mind and body meet spirit.

Learn to create transformative Pirts inspired experiences that reconnect people with nature's healing power.

We offer Group Experience and Treatment Education Courses.

Our Approach to Teaching

Pirts Spirit education takes you on an elemental journey where you progressively gain new knowledge, techniques and herbal wisdom to invite more of nature's gifts into your space.

The education levels are built around the four natural elements Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Each element carries unique energetic properties that shape the intentions of the experiences you'll learn to create. As you progress through each level, you'll work with plants energetically aligned with that element, deepening your ability to guide intentional Pirts Spirit experiences.

All Pirts Spirit courses are delivered by our philosophy of Experience, Theory, Practice.

Experience

Begin as a guest and receive the Pirts Spirit experience, so you can feel its impact and intention. This is important so you understand how you would like YOUR guests to feel.

Theory

To fully embody the experience, it is important to know the Roots - What we do and Why we do it.

This part will provide fundamental knowledge and confidence to professionally deliver the experience with deeper intention and meaning.

Practice

Practice makes the master.

You will learn and practice with different tree whisks and natural products (level dependent).

You will prepare and give the experiences, provide valuable feedback and inspire and learn from each other.
