Before wellness was an industry, our ancestors healed with what grew around them. In the Baltic region, much of that knowledge never disappeared.

Join Līga Reitere for a three-hour early spring workshop rooted in the living plant traditions of the countryside. Together we’ll work with the first wild greens and swelling buds of the season, learning how they become simple foods and home remedies, and explore the foundations of the Latvian herbal sauna tradition, where heat, steam, and fresh plants were used to restore strength after long winters. It’s a practical, hands-on introduction to a strand of European folk medicine that is still quietly alive.

This gathering is an invitation to reconnect with something older than modern wellness — a seasonal, land-based way of tending the body and spirit.
