Ketunretket provides Sauna Experiences to our clients. Of course, sometimes we need some relaxation ourselves, so this weekend it came possible to participate in a Whisking International Conference in Kaunas, Vilnus..
This conference had participants from Baltics, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, USA and other EU countries.

Here is the Whisker Man, Mr. Rimas Kavaliauskas from Lithuania. But hey, he has not got whiskers?
Here is one example of the Right and the Only Way of Whisking - or is it?

Now this was the best part of the weekend: a real Lithuanian Pirtis (Sauna) by Liuda Medine and Arvydas Medinis in western part of Kaunas.

Arvydas has built this wonderful sauna himself. It includes a big stove and a relaxation room.

Arvydas had installed a pump bringing ice-cold water from the pond.
I'm not as good as you, I am as good as I am!
Liuda had placed dry herbs over a transparent cloth above the relaxation room.

Next day we had a 100km drive to Rimas's own small sauna area near Vilnus, to receive whisking education. However, this education was expensive and gave nothing, to be honest.
Rimas Kavaliauskas has written a book of how to provide whisking on 10 different difficulty levels. This guy used to be a physics professor, now he is the sauna master!
