I am a singer, a bearer of living tradition and a creator. I sing, I create beauty and I turn the earth into ceramics with my hands. I come with the wisdom of my land and people’s roots to add to the process of inner unfolding and creation, the patterns of this land and the fabric of the world. I will bring the spiritual space of the north, the knowledge of the Tree of Life, the wisdom of ancestors and the runic song. I live in the forest as nature, in wild freedom and aliveness, rebirthing myself daily, expanding the boundaries of consciousness and being human. More and more, I am discovering the New Story I am writing in the fabric of the world, giving new meanings to the signs of life and guiding me into connection with all life. The songs carried by my voice bring me to the present and open the way to the source. In the same way, the ceramic objects I create are magical tools that activate you to be the creator-human, the pillar of the world. The New Story becomes visible by living it. All is born through decision, in trust and in my own authenticity, embracing that I have already arrived.
SINGING SAUNA – CLEANSING AND CONNECTION
Anna and Indrek Vainu invite you to participate in a singing sauna, where voice, runic song, hot steam and breathing come together, creating a space for deep opening and cleansing. We will sing to cleanse the body and spirit, brighten the soul, empower our being through consciously acknowledged power and ancestral wisdom.
The sauna as a magical space of transformation – a place where we cast hot steam not only on the body, but also on the soul. The hot steam of sauana symbolises the breath of life, it fills the space, enters us, and the sweat takes out what no longer serves us. Each steam is the beginning of a new creation, each breath dissolves old patterns. In the sauna there is genuine presence, peace, self-realisation, sincerity, surrender and nakedness; there are no masks, roles or shame. Men and women, young and old – we are all one. Singing builds connection, helps open hearts and allows us to experience ourselves as pure, free and loving.
For Estonians, the sauna is a sanctuary, a place to find peace, relaxation, healing and connection. People always go to the sauna in a good mood and with a kind heart, leaving their quarrels and worries at the door, where they’ve disappeared when folks come out of the sauna. In the sauna, there is no meaningless chatter or discussion of current affairs, and certainly no arguing or quarreling. The sauna is a place to relax, to let the breath of nature’s forces invigorate and heal. If there is talk, it is of deep stories of being, of sharing the wisdom of life, or of sharing worries and kind words. The sauna is a place to be together, a place where all are equal, and as they were created. In the past, we were born in the sauna, and today we can be reborn in the sauna. Sauna bathing gives us a new breath of life, brings us to presence, cleanses, invigorates body and soul. Sauna bless!
SAUNA RITUAL FOR WOMEN: HEART AND VOICE
Come to the sauna, dear Woman! We are together, side by side, in a warm and sacred place – the womb. We’ll let the warmth of the sauna and the scents of fresh herbs gently open our bodies and voices. We connect with our hearts, carried by the creative and restorative power of plants and runic song. We invigorate our life and being with vocalizations, songs of women and creation, and with the awakening touch of the body.
