A traditional sauna session lasts at least three (3) hours and the smoke sauna of Mooska Farm can comfortably accommodate eight people. The rich aroma of burning wood is complemented by a whispered note of meat smoked in the sauna, birch boughs, and sauna honey.

To make this experience even more valuable, we as trainers, will use some adventure therapy methods to help you link your experiences with your daily life challenges and current struggles.

The nights before and after the mission you will spend in an idillic old Latvian house in the middle of amazing nature.
Aksi Island Tour
Aksi Island is the neighboring island of Prangli, which is why it's often called "Little Prangli." What impresses visitors most are the island's extraordinary natural landscapes.
Thanks to the Aksberg family who once lived here, Aksi is known for its shipbuilding history. On the island, you can see a unique stone labyrinth dating back to 1849 and hear fascinating stories about the island's colorful settlement before World War II.
Today, the island is permanently uninhabited and under nature protection. Aksi has no harbor of its own. To reach the island, a private boat must be arranged. That means a visit to Aksi depends on wind conditions and can turn into quite a sea adventure.
