Full Moon Ritual March 22

22 Mar

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—a experience that supports balance, healing, and conscious intention work.

The ceremony begins at 9:00 PM and lasts for about three hours. Through a calm pace and a gradual increase in temperature, 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 lunar cycle, a time when the energy is at its most intense and expansive. This energy can amplify emotions, awareness, and inner processes. While the moon's influence is always present, the full moon provides a particularly powerful opportunity to connect consciously, cleanse, heal, and set intentions that can carry you forward into the next lunar 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 among those who are attuned to the rhythms of nature. This sauna journey is designed to harmonize these opposites by adjusting our inner rhythm in sync with nature's.

The lunar cycle lasts about 29 days, moving from new moon to full moon and back again. Each phase represents an energetic shift. By synchronizing ourselves 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, space is provided 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 intentionally slow and supportive for both body and nervous system.

Instruments, drums, and sound are used throughout 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 absolutely crucial.

Start drinking water 2–3 hours before the ceremony

Drink 2–3 liters gradually over time

Good hydration leads to better temperature regulation and a more comfortable experience

Dehydration is the biggest challenge in long sauna sessions. If you feel thirsty during the session, it's already a sign of fluid deficiency. Listen to your body, take breaks, and drink slowly between sessions. After the ceremony, it's essential to replenish with water, salts, and minerals.

An Invitation

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