This page shows how a training can look, what elements we could include and how we achieve your goals.
Your trainers for the course:
From theatre to aufguss, she blends performance and creativity to turn sauna sessions into art.
Groupe Nordik aims to move beyond Showaufguss and “tricks” by reinforcing the theoretical and technical foundations of Aufguss, specifically heat dynamics, safety, and aroma distribution.
During our training you will find we are very ‘goal’ oriented, why do we do what we do? why do we pick these aromas and this music? why does it fit? We will show you the power of a clear goal.
Using core lessons focussed on structure of an thematic aufguss, aroma elements and aroma combination assignments. we provide knowledge about how to make choices based on your aufguss goal. We pair this with waving lessons focussed on basics & adding transitions to make everything flow.
After these workshop days we invite participants to showcase their ritual creations in a live session.
The resort will end up with new thematic rituals your artisans have created themselves, a moment for them to share their passion with your guests.
This structure is adapted per resort, where all participants of all resorts get the exact same workshop + showcase day.
Digital Pre-work for all participants!
Two groups A/B 9 people per day.

Core waving skills, but most importantly your artisans will know more about how to create their own, use their passion, skill and knowledge to create a thematic aufguss ritual that works. They will be more confident to use storytelling and add to that sensation. When we leave you will have a different session for every participant which they can perform, but they can also share amongst each other.
This will set you up for that transition back to the core of aufguss, reserve the showaufguss sessions for special events and build a core offering that impresses without all the ‘extra’.
Start with the essential oil training above, or begin watching detailed waving videos via our
Waving Club service.
These are some simple theme aufguss sessions Sigrid performs regularly
They showcase simplicity combined with storytelling.
We love sharing what we learn — from aroma rituals and aufguss tips to visitation reviews and competition experiences.
