Your support ensures that nature-based healing systems restoring connection to self, body, others, nature, spirit, and ancestry can thrive - and brings pirts practitioners to communities everywhere.

For thousands of years, Baltic people tended to the body, spirit, and land through sacred song (dainas), plant medicine, and pirts, a sauna ritual where birth, healing, and community once took place. These practices carried a lineage of nature-based knowledge through occupation, war, and exile - preserved largely by women.

Today, as interest in ancestral healing and ecological belonging rises, many are searching for exactly what some Baltic people never forgot - a worldview where the Earth is alive, relationship is medicine, and wholeness comes through returning to nature.

Baltic Wisdom was created to protect this lineage and make it accessible - responsibly, ethically, and with cultural integrity - to all who feel called to learn.
