Samhain marks the turning of the year — a threshold between light and dark, summer’s end and winter’s beginning. Rooted in Celtic tradition, it is a time to pause, reflect, and honour the cycles of nature and of ourselves. As the veil between worlds grows thin, we’re invited to release what has passed, give gratitude for what remains, and prepare the body and spirit for the colder months ahead.
In the warmth of the sauna and the stillness of the water, we reconnect with these ancient rhythms. The sauna becomes a place of renewal — heat drawing out tension, clearing the mind, and igniting inner fire — while the cold plunge or wild swim offers clarity, courage, and the quiet grounding of nature itself. Together, they mirror Samhain’s essence: death and rebirth, letting go and beginning anew.
This gathering is a chance to honour the shift in seasons through elemental contrast — fire, water, air, and earth — and to share space with others drawn to wild wellbeing, reflection, and ritual.
Step into the warmth, breathe in the cold, and emerge renewed for the darker half of the year.
