Back by popular demand, our end of summer edition of DANCE~SOUND~SAUNA with Eniko & Anthony🌙🌞🔥 Tickets are now available in the link in our bio & under ‘special events’ on our booking page.

What is Ecstatic Dance?
Ecstatic dance is a conscious and sober movement practice where you are encouraged to let go and express yourself through your movement, guided by Anthony through a journey of music. The idea is to let the music and the sounds move you.

What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a meditative experience immersed in the live vibrations and frequencies of various instruments. Led by Eniko, the main instruments used in your experience will be Tibetan singing bowls. The vibrations are deeply restorative for the physical and mental-emotional body, helping to shift stress and tension and bring a sense of calm and quiet - guiding you into a deeply meditative state between wakefulness and sleep.

Afterwards, we transition into the warmth of the wood-fired saunas. The heat invites a deeper release physically and emotionally - offering space to soften, sweat, and integrate the journey of the evening within a held, communal setting.

We’ll also have plenty of delicious daal cooked over the open fire, prepared by Your Local Daaler 🔥

Come alone, come with friends, come as you are. We’re really excited for this and hope to see you there! ✨

🌱 Thank you so much to Meg Hopkinson for hosting a magic evening, exploring seasonal plants surrounding the sauna and how we can use them in our rituals.

Meg showed us how to create body scrubs and hair masks, to soothe and restore us in the sauna, using the abundance of yarrow, herbs and even nettles from around our landscape.

After the plant walk and elemental talk, we took a moment to pause with birch whisks beneath the our feet and headed into Gurt’s Yurt, for a stunning few rounds of Aufguss.

Aufguss is an ancient sauna ritual using essential oils, music, and rhythmic towel-waving.

Meg who is the 2026 UK modern classic champion, guided us on a journey themed around the elements, earth water fire and air.

We’ve learnt so much and we’re so excited to explore more in the future with Meg, so watch out for more sessions coming soon! 🔥

As we take a little breather this summer, we thought we’d reintroduce ourselves, for anyone just tuning in…

Callum and Oscar opened Hot & Bothy at Archerfield in East Lothian in September 2025, chasing a dream of creating a sauna oasis tucked away in nature.

We host community and private sessions, from early mornings to late nights, across two saunas - one of which we built ourselves & the other being our yurt, the first & only public sauna yurt in the UK. We have cold plunges, a shower, changing rooms, a firepit & even a compost loo. Since then we’ve grown bit by bit, learnt countless lessons we could never have imagined, been accredited as an Operator Member by the British Sauna Society and nominated for ‘Best Community Sauna’ at the UK sauna awards.

None of it happens without our sauna hosts, Iona, Maddie, Eve, Makena and Helena. Together we’ve hosted sauna yoga, Aufguss ceremonies, soundbaths, running groups, solstice feasts, full moon celebrations, countless birthdays and wedding parties.

Some of it we planned. A lot of it came into being beyond anything we imagined, and that’s mostly down to the people, the connections, the conversations that have stayed with us.

It’s been a bit quieter these summer months, but we’re still here and it’s given us a minute to reflect. We’ve got plenty planned ahead in the next few months so please do stay tuned & we would love to catch up if you’ve been before or meet you for the first time if you haven’t.

Callum, Oscar & the all the Hot & Bothy team x

🔥 Hot & Bothy: Elemental Sauna Journey with Meg 🌿

Hosted by Meg, 2026 British Aufguss Champion and certified Sauna Master, whose practice is deeply rooted in the elements and her connection to the natural world. We had the
absolute pleasure of joining her Aufguss sessions in Northern Ireland and some of you may have too in and around Edinburgh.

This experience opens with a guided plant walk, where you’ll learn to identify the wild plants growing around you and discover how they can support your mind, body and soul in
everyday life. From there, you’ll move into a phone free elemental sauna journey, travelling
through four rounds of Air, Water, Fire and Earth.
Expect aufguss rituals with ice and floral
infusions, herbal whisking, breathwork, sound, guided lymphatic body work and nourishing
skin and hair treatments, all held in a safe, caring and holistic space.

Leave your phone with your things, pick up a pen instead of your camera, and give yourself
permission to be fully present.

Really excited for this! We are keeping this session small so only a small number of tickets available.

📍 Hot & Bothy, Archerfield Walled Garden | ⏳ 3 hours | 🎟 Link in bio to book or on our website under ‘Special Events’
