As sauna culture takes hold in Victoria, we like to take a look at the different ways people prefer to enjoy this wellness practice. Since our inception, RITUAL Nordic Spa takes the traditional Finnish approach to sauna, embracing the social elements as a beneficial part of the sauna experience. While we celebrate the social aspect of sauna and relaxation through shared moments of laughter and connection, we also know that silence can be magic. We have heard from a few folks that they would also cherish the option of some silent sauna hours every week, and so we have introduced “Silent Sauna” on Tuesday evenings which has been a hit.

What is Silent Sauna?

Tuesdays, 5-9 PM
at RITUAL Nordic Spa in Victoria

On these evenings the Nordic Circuit is a tranquil environment for deep relaxation and mindfulness. In the absence of conversation individuals can focus inward, practicing mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. This silence allows for introspection, calming the mind and fostering profound relaxation.

Join us for an evening of peacefulness, soft music and reflection. BOOK NOW
