This workshop is all about herbs and natural wellness. You’ll learn how to work with natural ingredients in the sauna, creating your own scrubs, infusion blends, and exploring the deeper effects of plant-based rituals. Alongside the herbal focus, you’ll also be guided through towel techniques, from basic to modern moves, to bring it all into motion.
This course is: guided by Sigrid & Rianne (2021 Aufguss WM winners)
Rianne van Mierden brings a calm and experienced presence to the workshop. With a strong interest in herbs and natural products, she focuses on the therapeutic side of sauna experiences. Currently finishing her studies in herbalism, she has developed a deep understanding of how plants can support both sauna rituals and everyday well-being.
