Kawakawa Venik Workshop
Where ancient Nordic and Slavic sauna traditions meet Aotearoa's healing plants
Service Description
You and five others (a small workshop) will get your own handcrafted bundle of aromatic kawakawa branches (Venik) and learn the gentle art of self-massage in a hot, steamy environment. Think of it as nature's ultimate self-care ritual practiced by generations. No experience needed - just bring your curiosity! Each kawakawa venik is mindfully gathered using traditional practices that honor the plant and ensure healthy regeneration for future generations Facilitated by Alsu - who grew up in Russia visiting public saunas every Sunday with her mum. Veniks were part of her family culture and social bonding throughout childhood. As a student, providing venik massage to tourists was one of her favorite jobs! Now Alsu brings this authentic sauna tradition to Aotearoa, blending it with our native healing plants.
