Full Moon Ritual July 18

Full Moon Sauna at Farris Bad

Once a month, under the light of the full moon, the sauna masters at Farris Bad invite you to a guided, ceremonial sauna journey—an experience that supports balance, healing, and conscious intention work.

The ceremony starts at 9:00 PM and lasts for approximately three hours. Through a calm pace and a gradual temperature increase, participants are led into a deep, meditative state.

Registration lists are available inside the spa before the ceremony.

The Power of the Full Moon

The full moon marks the peak of the moon's cycle, a time when the energy is at its most intense and expansive. This energy can magnify emotions, awareness, and inner processes. Although the moon's influence is always present, the full moon provides a particularly powerful opportunity to connect consciously, cleanse, heal, and plant intentions that can carry you forward into the next moon cycle.

When the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth, many may experience inner imbalance. Restlessness, stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and emotional sensitivity are common, especially for those who are open to nature's rhythms. This sauna journey is created to harmonize these oppositions by aligning our inner rhythm with that of nature.

The moon cycle lasts about 29 days and moves from new moon to full moon and back again. Each phase represents a shift in energy. By synchronizing with these cycles, the experience can feel both grounding, refreshing, and energizing.

The Journey Begins

The process starts outside the sauna, where the sauna masters inform and prepare the group for the journey ahead. This preparatory phase lasts about 30 minutes and is an important part of the experience. Here, there is space to land, cleanse, and prepare both body and mind before entering the ceremonial sauna.

This part is not strictly time-managed and can be shorter or longer, depending on the group. The most important thing for participants is to let go of control over time and allow themselves to be led by the process.

Inside the Ceremony

The full moon ceremony consists of 4–5 warming phases, with short cooling breaks in between each. Participants do not stay in the sauna continuously for three hours. The rhythm is consciously slow and supportive for both the body and nervous system.

Instruments, drums, and sound are used along the way to support release, presence, and inner work. The musicians and artists will sit on the right side of the sauna, where benches are reserved for them; we ask that this area be respected.

How to Prepare

This is a long and intensive session, and good hydration is essential.

Start drinking water 2–3 hours before the ceremony

Drink 2–3 liters gradually over time

Good hydration provides better temperature regulation and a more pleasant experience

Dehydration is the biggest challenge in long sauna sessions. If you become thirsty along the way, it is already a sign of fluid deficiency. Listen to your body, take breaks, and drink slowly between sessions. After the ceremony, it is important to replenish with water, salts, and minerals.

An Invitation

Come as you are. Bring a wish, a word, or a quiet intention. Let the power of the moment support deep reflection, release, and renewal. May the ritual contribute to balance, presence, and a gentle transformation on your path forward.

Welcome to a completely unique full moon experience at Farris Bad.
