Introducing August’s Monthly Nordic Ritual: Verslunarmannahelgi – Iceland Reset Ritual

Pronounced VER-sloon-ar-man-na-hel-gee, Verslunarmannahelgi began as Iceland’s Merchant’s Holiday and evolved into a national long weekend devoted to travel, nature, bathing culture, and restoration before autumn’s return.

At Søle, we honour that tradition with an immersive experience inspired by Iceland’s geothermal landscapes and unhurried approach to renewal.

Your experience includes:

• A 120-Minute Ró Circuit, moving through Finnish sauna warmth, cold immersion, Himalayan salt, and rest
• A 50-Minute Hvile Magnesium Ritual, featuring warm magnesium oils and long, grounding massage strokes
• A deeply restorative journey designed to ease tension, support the nervous system, and prepare the body for seasonal transition

Available throughout August.

Reserve your Verslunarmannahelgi experience today.

From the Nordics to Søle | Five Ideas I'm Bringing Back to Alberta

As my Nordic research journey comes to an end, one question keeps coming up:

"What are you bringing back to Søle?"

The answer isn't souvenirs.

It's inspiration.

Here are five ideas that will help shape the next chapter of Søle Nordic Wellness.

1. A More Intentional Approach to Massage

One of the most meaningful discoveries was experiencing how Finnish massage therapists often blend techniques with an unhurried, intuitive approach. Rather than following a routine, they "listen" to the body, adapting each treatment to what the client needs in that moment. That philosophy aligns beautifully with how we want every guest to feel, seen, cared for, and never rushed.

2. Scandinavian Skincare That Supports the Skin Barrier

I discovered Swedish skincare brands that focus on strengthening the skin barrier rather than chasing trends. Their philosophy is simple: healthy, resilient skin comes first. As we continue to grow, we're exploring ways to complement our existing skincare offerings with products that reflect this distinctly Nordic approach.

3. Refreshing Nordic-Inspired Beverages

Hydration is an important part of the wellness journey. Throughout my travels I've enjoyed beautifully simple beverages inspired by berries, herbs, botanicals, and sparkling waters. I'm excited to explore how refreshing Nordic-inspired drinks could become part of the Søle experience during your wellness circuit.

4. Learning from Finland's Saunottajas

Perhaps my greatest inspiration has been learning about the role of the Saunottaja, a trained sauna guide who transforms sauna into a thoughtfully paced ritual using heat, steam, aroma, rhythm, and intention. While our approach will be uniquely Søle, these traditions have given me a deeper appreciation for what guided sauna experiences can become.

5. A Vision for Our Expansion

This journey has completely changed how I think about our upcoming renovation.

Not simply how it should look, but how it should feel.

The architecture, natural materials, lighting, acoustics, guest flow, and quiet moments between experiences all matter. Every detail should support calm, restoration, and connection.

This trip has reminded me that authentic Nordic wellness isn't created through luxury alone.

It's created through thoughtful design, meaningful traditions, and genuine hospitality.

I can't wait to bring these ideas home and continue building something truly special for our community.

Kiitos. Tack. Takk.

Thank you for following along on this journey.

From the Nordics to Søle | Scandinavian Design Isn't Minimalism - It's Intentionality

Before this journey, I admired Scandinavian design for its beauty.

After spending time throughout Sweden, Norway, and Finland, I understand that its true purpose goes much deeper.

Scandinavian design isn't about having less.

It's about making every detail matter.

As I've visited wellness centres, hotels, saunas, and public spaces, I've found myself paying attention to things most people probably don't notice:

🌲 The warmth of natural wood beneath your hand.
💡 Soft lighting that gently guides you from one space to the next.
🔇 Acoustics that encourage quiet conversation and peaceful reflection.
🪨 Natural materials that age beautifully instead of simply looking new.
🚶 Thoughtful guest flow that feels effortless, allowing each experience to unfold naturally.

Nothing feels accidental.

Every choice has been made to create a sense of calm, comfort, and connection.

That philosophy has become one of my biggest takeaways from this trip.

As we continue planning the expansion of Søle Nordic Wellness, these observations will shape more than our décor. They'll influence how guests move through our spaces, how they experience stillness, and how every environment supports relaxation and wellbeing.

Beautiful design isn't simply something you see.

It's something you feel.

And that's exactly what we're working toward.

From the Nordics to Søle | What Finland Taught Me About Sauna

One of the biggest lessons I've learned while travelling through Finland is that a sauna isn't simply a room.

It's a ritual.

In North America, we often think of sauna as a place to sweat. In Finland, it's something much deeper, a place to slow down, reconnect, reflect, and simply be.

I was especially fascinated by the role of the Saunottaja (SOW-nowt-tah-yah), a trained sauna guide who gently leads guests through a thoughtfully paced experience. Rather than focusing only on heat, a Saunottaja shapes the atmosphere through timing, water, scent, steam (löyly), breathing, rest, and intention, creating an experience that calms both body and mind.

I also learned that sauna etiquette is built on respect:

🪵 Respect the quiet.
💧 Pour water thoughtfully to create gentle löyly.
🧖 Sit on a towel.
🌿 Move between heat, cooling, and rest without rushing.
❤️ Listen to your body, not the clock.

What struck me most was that Finns don't treat sauna as an indulgence.

They treat it as an essential part of everyday wellbeing.

That philosophy is something I hope to continue bringing to Søle Nordic Wellness, not by copying Finland, but by honouring the traditions that have made sauna such an enduring part of Nordic life.

The more I learn, the more excited I become for what lies ahead.

From the Nordics to Søle | Behind the Scenes

People often ask where the inspiration for Søle Nordic Wellness comes from.

The answer is simple, it comes from here.

Over the past several weeks, I've been travelling throughout Sweden, Norway, and Finland, not as a tourist, but as a student of Nordic wellness.

I've been visiting traditional saunas, exploring Scandinavian skincare brands, studying architecture and design, learning about Finnish sauna traditions, meeting wellness professionals, researching Saunottaja practices, experiencing Finnish massage therapy, and gathering ideas that simply can't be learned from a book or a website.

Every conversation, every sauna, every design detail and every ritual teaches me something new.

Our goal has never been to build a spa that merely looks Scandinavian.

Our goal is to create a wellness experience that genuinely reflects Nordic culture, tradition, and the science of recovery.

Many of the ideas I'm discovering will influence the next chapter of Søle Nordic Wellness, from future treatments and rituals to our upcoming expansion and guest experience.

I can't wait to bring these experiences home and share them with all of you.

This is only the beginning.

As midsummer arrives across Scandinavia, communities gather to celebrate Sankthans, a cherished Nordic tradition honouring light, renewal, and connection.

Bonfires are lit, nature is embraced, and people pause to reflect on what they are ready to release and what they wish to welcome.

Our Sankthans Ritual at Søle Nordic Wellness was created to bring that same spirit of renewal into a modern wellness experience.

Through the restorative rhythm of heat, cold, rest, and ritual, this experience offers space to reset your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and restore your energy.

If you have been craving stillness, grounding, or simply a moment to breathe, this ritual was created for you.

July bookings are now open.
We would love to welcome you.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we pause to recognize and celebrate the cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples across Canada.

For Søle, this day is also a meaningful reflection of our own story. Our family roots include Sámi ancestry. The Sámi are the Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia, with a rich cultural heritage that spans Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula.

The Nordic traditions that inspire Søle are deeply connected to nature, seasonal rhythms, community, and resilience, values that have been carried forward through generations. While Søle is first and foremost a Nordic wellness space, we are grateful for the cultural heritage that helped shape our vision and appreciation for the restorative power of nature.

Today we honour Indigenous peoples across Canada, the Sámi people of the North, and all those who continue to preserve and share their traditions, languages, and stories.

With respect and gratitude,

Connie Thompson
Founder & Owner

Soft. Gentle. Restorative. ✨

Inspired by the Scandinavian word Mjuke, meaning "soft" and "gentle," our Mjuke Renewal Treatment is a soothing ritual designed to quiet the mind, release tension, and restore a sense of balance.

As calming aromas fill the air and stress begins to melt away, you'll be guided into a state of deep relaxation, leaving you feeling renewed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. This restorative experience is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the Nordic philosophy of wellness through stillness.

For the ultimate escape, pair your Mjuke Renewal Treatment with our Nordic Circuit. The therapeutic contrast of heat, cold, and rest enhances the benefits of the treatment, creating a complete journey of relaxation and renewal.

Because true wellness begins when we allow ourselves to pause. 🌿
