Overview
Join storyteller Fleur Shorthouse for an immersive day exploring the art of Sauna Storytelling – weaving traditional oral stories into sauna experiences to create powerful, sensory journeys.
This workshop is perfect for:
• Sauna hosts / practitioners / enthusiasts
• Storytellers curious about working in sauna spaces
• Sauna lovers wanting to deepen the ritual experience
No previous sauna or storytelling experience is needed. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and experienced storytellers. Learning to work with steam and hosting sauna ritual is a skill that will also need to be honed to combine these arts.
What you’ll learn
Through playful exercises and guided practice you will:
• Learn the basics of traditional oral storytelling
• Discover how story can shape a sauna experience
• Experiment with scent, objects and atmosphere to create immersive storytelling
• Build confidence speaking and performing in a sauna setting
By the end of the day you’ll leave with a story ready to tell – whether in the sauna, around a fire, or to friends and family that evening.
The story
Bond with the Universal Bodies who see us from the skies. We will invite treasured Baltic Stories to help us practice our sauna craft with skill.
