Somatic Centre Sauna.
Somatic Centre Sauna
Get out of your mind. And into your body.
What it is.
(Four sessions, over two hours.)
A guided Somatic Journey through the body and senses to release tension, lift spirits and restore connection with our deepest sense of self.
How it goes
(We open around the fire. We invite our minds to quieten, and our body to speak. We are here to listen.)
During the opening rounds we tune into our physical presence, using the heat and steam to activate the felt-sense over two sessions. Using a gentle yet meticulous bodyscan meditation, we acknowledge specific stresses and hidden blocks, using the subsequent cold plunges as a release mechanism.
The third longer session is unique. An inner journey developed by The Somatic Centre, it is designed to realign the body-mind at the very deepest level. Weaving together meditation, myth, soma and steam, carefully guided by your soma master James, you will discover and restore a profound connection with your self.
After a final cold plunge, our Sauna concludes with a closing bodyworship, followed by an optional tea sharing (around the fire where it all started.)
What you find
‘Incredible. Not what I expected. Deeper. Beautiful’ YW
‘I think it changed me at some level...Actually, I know it did’. SP
‘Wow….Dude….Epic.’ GE
Who’s your host?
James is an experienced somatic practitioner, healer and bodyworker, with over 25 years ICF accredited coaching, meditation, breathwork and bodywork experience. (He is founder of The Somatic Centre www.thesomaticcentre.com)
Please note:
Please be on time. Late arrivals can only enter during the cold plunge breaks.
Please wear a costume, a wrap or just your skin. All sessions will be eyes closed, and professionally led by your soma-master. Being textile-free for the third session is recommended to enhance this particular session, but by no means mandatory. Listen to what your body needs to feel most comfortable on the day.
If you are currently under psychiatric supervision or have significant recent trauma, this may not be the best type of session for you. Please advise James and discuss beforehand.
Aufguss Session. (Textile-Free)
Join us at Sweheat for a two-hour textile-free Aufguss Experience.
Aufguss rituals – hallmarks of European sauna culture – feature a sauna master guiding you through 15-minute rounds of heat, aromas, music, and towel-waving techniques that circulate the air and create the perfect sauna atmosphere.
Across three distinct rituals, you’ll move from traditional heat infusions to banya-inspired techniques. Between rounds, cool off in the fresh air or take a dip in the cold plunge. Each ritual is designed to relax, invigorate, and entertain – a fun, social, and refreshing way to spend your evening.
This is a textile-free session, as is common in European spas. Sauna without swimwear allows for a better sweat and a more hygienic experience. Just bring a towel large enough to sit on completely.
Whether you’re winding down after a long week, warming up for a night out, or just looking for something different to do with friends, Aufguss Experience is the perfect pick. First-timers, regulars, groups, and solo sauna-goers are all welcome.
Spaces are limited, so book now!

MODERN LITHUANIAN SAUNA — THE BOTANIST.
Two groups. Three main sauna rounds. And one extra round for those who still want more.

Round I — First Steam
A warm welcome and the traditional first-steam ritual. Gentle body warming with sauna whisks, music, and natural aromas of Siberian fir and propolis.
Round II — Salt & Minerals
Warming with sauna whisks, followed by a salt ritual and rinse. Then the heat intensifies with stronger steam and more active whisking. Mineral water is served afterwards to refresh and rehydrate.
Round III — Contrast
Body warming, hot whisk compresses and individual attention for each guest. Finished with water and temperature contrast.
Round IV — Surprise
An optional final group round for those who still want more — and if space allows. A lighter session with sauna whisks and aromatic hydrolats.
Only 20 participants · £40 per person

THE HEDONIST SAUNA.
A sauna experience that goes beyond the body.
The Hedonist Sauna is a sensory programme by Sauna Master Arnas, where heat, scent, sound and touch merge into one experience.
Slower. Deeper. More intense.
Round I — Aromas & Fan
The programme begins with rhythmic music, steam, essential oils and an Aufguss-inspired fan technique. Siberian fir and mugwort create layered, natural aromas throughout the sauna.
Round II — Salt & Minerals
Warming with sauna whisks, followed by a salt ritual and rinse. Then the heat intensifies with stronger steam and more active whisking. Mineral water is served afterwards to refresh and rehydrate.
Round III — Honey & Whisks
The body is warmed with sauna whisks, followed by a honey ritual and stronger heat. More individual whisking, water, and a final touch of propolis. An orange slice is served afterwards for refreshment.
Round IV — Reset
An optional final group round for those who still want more — and if space allows. A lighter session with sauna whisks and aromatic hydrolats.

Join us for german style sauna as we celebrate all that's great about the german sauna experience, great steam infused with quality essential oils, traditional towel wafting and a safe well managed environment to sweat freely and comfortably.

Full Moon Sauna and Sound Ceremony.
Join us for a two and a half hours of Sauna, Sound and Intention setting.
What to expect -
The evening will consist of four rounds in the Sauna space,
Purification - through Smudging the body and a guided visualization to cleanse the mind and infused steam for the body.
Intention - You will be asked to release what no longer serves you, we will use vocalisation and singing bowls for this process. As well as burning anything written down on paper to be transformed in the fire. Intention in the steam to activate in the space now made.
Grounding - Drum journey and Rain stick to feel the power of Mother Earth whilst immersed in the elemental Sauna.
Protection - Meditation with protective crystals and visualisation to strengthen the energy bodies.
The Fire Pit will be on (Weather permitting) for us to gather and drink tea together whilst sharing the space under the energy and power of the full moon.
Victoria’s previous incarnations to the Sauna world were in the areas of intuitive healing. Having trained as an Energy Medicine Practitioner and Sound Therapist.
Victoria regularly held Sound Baths using Gongs and other percussion instruments. She worked intuitively with the frequencies of Crystals and the Subtle energy bodies to effect change in the Human bio-field. This interest and through her profound experiences, led her to the womb-like space of the Sauna environment, naturally aligning with its potential for introspection and transformation.

Shamanic Sauna Journey with Jesse Inferno.
All are invited on this journey using the sauna medicine of the soul. Calling in Estonian smoke-sauna heritage, we will deep dive together and see where it takes us.
The voice, the drum, Birch & Oak sauna whisks, salt, honey, plus deep intuition, will be our tools.
This is a journey for those who are ready to connect with their soul in a space of innocence and wonder. It is a textile free session; no swimwear, shorts, jewellery, watches - you will enter in the way in which you came into this world. A cotton sarong or linen wrap may help you accustom yourself but I trust once the journey is underway you will find your peace to be in your most natural state without shame or worry.
The energetic state of mind is something to treat with grace. Every part of you is welcome. Please inform Jesse, on the day, if you have anything major going on in your current experience. Feel free to also reach out in advance if there is a question you feel you have.
The session will begin by gathering, in circle, around the fire and include a closing fire circle too.

Protection - Meditation with protective crystals and visualisation to strengthen the energy bodies.
The Fire Pit will be on (Weather permitting) for us to gather and drink tea together whilst sharing the space under the energy and power of the full moon.
Victoria’s previous incarnations to the Sauna world were in the areas of intuitive healing. Having trained as an Energy Medicine Practitioner and Sound Therapist.
Victoria regularly held Sound Baths using Gongs and other percussion instruments. She worked intuitively with the frequencies of Crystals and the Subtle energy bodies to effect change in the Human bio-field. This interest and through her profound experiences, led her to the womb-like space of the Sauna environment, naturally aligning with its potential for introspection and transformation.
Ruth's Aufguss Infusions. (Women Only)
Step into the heat with Ruth B for a private, women-only aufguss experience — a space designed for comfort, respect, and ease.
This session is especially welcoming to women who prefer or require women-only environments, including those observing modesty or faith-based practices.
Across three immersive rounds, you’ll be guided through waves of heat, steam, and home-grown herbal infusions, each paired with a beautifully curated soundtrack to deepen the experience.
Come solo or with a friend, and enjoy a moment to fully unwind — leaving you feeling calm, restored, and connected.
Aufguss Session. (Textile-Free)
Join us at Sweheat for a two-hour textile-free Aufguss Experience.
Aufguss rituals – hallmarks of European sauna culture – feature a sauna master guiding you through 15-minute rounds of heat, aromas, music, and towel-waving techniques that circulate the air and create the perfect sauna atmosphere.
Across three distinct rituals, you’ll move from traditional heat infusions to banya-inspired techniques. Between rounds, cool off in the fresh air or take a dip in the cold plunge. Each ritual is designed to relax, invigorate, and entertain – a fun, social, and refreshing way to spend your evening.
This is a textile-free session, as is common in European spas. Sauna without swimwear allows for a better sweat and a more hygienic experience. Just bring a towel large enough to sit on completely.
Whether you’re winding down after a long week, warming up for a night out, or just looking for something different to do with friends, Aufguss Experience is the perfect pick. First-timers, regulars, groups, and solo sauna-goers are all welcome.
Spaces are limited, so book now!

Saunagus Session.
Join us at Sweheat for three rounds of ‘Saunagus’, a unique experience that combines heat, essential oils and music alongside your sauna experience.
By trained ‘gus master’ Oliver, he will deliver this traditional Danish ritual by using towel-swinging techniques to disperse the hot steam rhythmically to the music in every 15-minute long session.
Pure, organic essential oils compressed in ice balls placed on the sauna’s stove slowly disperses an aromatic steam which enhances the health properties of the experience.
Different essential oils can be utilised for different outcomes. For instance, peppermint can be used as a revitalising oil, lavender for calm and eucalyptus to clear the airways.
Each week the sessions will be themed through the scent of the essential oils, the music and movement to create a stimulating, relaxing or detoxifying effect on your body.
The ritual will leave you feeling both mentally and physically revived. Benefits range from a meditative state of mind to improving cardiovascular strength, boosting the immune system, as well as alleviating pain.
Sweheat it out.

Women’s Sauna Evening with Kat Kosa.
Step away from the noise of everyday life and let rhythm, heat and scent carry you into the present moment — where there is nothing to do but listen inward and simply be.
I’m Kat Kosa, a Hungarian-trained sauna master. I grew up surrounded by our gyógyfürdő spa culture, watching my grandparents return from their regular spa visits lighter, calmer and renewed.
Years later, during a challenging time caring for my mother, I truly understood what they meant. One evening I stepped into a sauna seeking pause. For twelve minutes, something shifted — my mind slowed, my body softened, and I felt deep gratitude and peace.
This women-only evening offers a refreshing, immersive and restorative experience — a space to move with the heat, the beat and the aromas, while embracing authentic European sauna culture and the power of shared feminine presence.
Come as you are. Leave lighter.
