• NEW MOON

    Sauna Ritual at Unfold Sauna Club, Bristol

    Saturday, October 10th | 13.45 - 15.15

    New Moons mark the winter of the month.

    The darkest point, where we gather ourselves. A time for both rest and ple planting of seeds of intention.

    This sauna session invites you to go on a journey with a small group of saunanauts into a session of stillness and receiving as you’re whisked with aromatic branches in a ritual that stimulates all the senses.

    Blending poetry, soundscape, elements of traditional pirtis (leaf whisking), embodiment practices and the deep heat of the sauna, Emilie will take you through an hour of löyly (steam) and letting go.

  • “If you ever get the change to do a guided sauna, run don’t walk! Emilie, the sauna master took me though a whole hour and it was incredible. The best wellness experience I’ve ever had and I’ve done A LOT!”

    - Sasha Ford

  • About Emilie, your guide:

    I’m an embodiment coach, facilitator and saunamaster (2 years experience in guiding) with a background in womens health and functional movement (yoga teacher, rope flow coach, biomechanics geek). My background is as an artist and former pro-hula hooper.

    I love weaving these things together to offer experiences that not just feel good but help people live life with more hope, connection, care and joy. I work with poems, stories, sauna herbs and traditional pirtis along with embodiment practices, curated playlists combining music and soundscapes.

  • “⁠I went in not knowing what to expect exactly, but it was even better than I ever thought. So refreshing. It definitely helped me to feel alive and safe in my body. The scent of bushes was amazing, adding a sense of aromatherapy. Honestly it was an incredible, full immersive, compassionate space.”

    "Emilie offers a welcoming presence and a gentle invitation to shift the energy and re-centre the mind. Combining embodiment practices with sauna therapy, Emilie creates a safe space to feel seen, held and gently supported in the heat.
    Her sessions are tender and soothing and a must-try for seasoned sauna bathers and sauna-newbies alike!"

    - Jesse Devlin (Inferno Wellness Warrior)

    "Emilie's gentle guidance in the sauna will bathe you in inner sunshine and embodied tenderness."

  • In a world that often feels disconnected, rituals offer space to slow down, tune in, and find your center.

    Our bodies, minds and culture are busy. No wonder so many people feel overwhelmed. Having guidance to pause and reflect in the sauna can be the nurturing support you didn't realise you needed.

    These sessions can offer both simplicity and depth, rituals without rigmarole, that focus on connection, space and place to help people find a way to pause, notice, and restore.

    Rituals rooted in season and cycle help us orientate beyond the mess of modern living to find what matters most.
