Events & Rituals

More than just a sauna. In addition to our daily social sauna and guided sauna sessions, we have a regular schedule of events that help you slow down, let go, and recharge. Accessible, guided, and open to everyone.

Sauna & Yin Yoga
Every Sunday, 18:00-20:30
Two rounds of sauna, followed by an hour of yin yoga.
Gentle movement, deep relaxation. A wonderful way to end your week, leaving you refreshed and ready for Monday.

Ice & Breath
Each
1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, 10:00-12:00
Breathwork, ice bath training and sauna in one session.
Powerful, refreshing, and a perfect reset for your weekend.

Friday Braaiday
Each
last Friday of the month, 18:00-21:00
3 hours of sauna, ice bath, hot tub, fire and some tasty food from the braai (BBQ).
With a drink, tea, and some snacks. Social, warm, and relaxed.

Full Moon Ritual
Every full moon, 18:30-21:30
An evening to pause and reflect. A different theme each month.
With cacao, breath, sauna and fire.

New Moon Ritual
Every new moon, 18:30-21:30
A fresh start. New intentions, meaningful rituals, warmth, and silence.
For when you want to realign with where you're going.

One weekend, two festivals

One weekend, two festivals

Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 August 2026 · Dankjewellness @ De tuin van de smid, Leiden

On the last weekend of August, our polder turns into a wellness festival. Two days, two worlds, one place: on Saturday, Afro Wellness Fest brings the world's first Afro wellness festival to the Netherlands; on Sunday, we celebrate the second edition of Dankjewellness Fest.

Saunas, ice baths, rituals, live music from three continents, food straight off the fire, and a community that feels like coming home. Come for a day — or make a weekender of it.

Connecting by disconnecting — Dankjewellness style :)
