What we’re about
Rekindle: to start or stir up something.
Re means "again," and kindle means "start a fire," likely from the Old Norse word kynda, "to light a fire."
Rekindle the Roots is for those wanting to remember their deep connection to Nature. It’s about restoring the wisdom that our diverse ancestors carried, then shifting that wisdom into something useful and practical for today’s modern world. It’s a reclamation of magic, medicine, rituals, healing practices, and folk traditions that have been safely stored within our bone memory. This group is intended to support modern homo sapiens along their journey of embodying their most rooted, authentic, Natural Self while fostering healthy community, friendships, knowledge sharing, and reciprocity.
Meetups will include classes, events, workshops, rituals, and healing circles taught from a shamanic perspective. There will also be community gatherings and social events to establish trust, camaraderie, and for the simple sake of having some fun together.

https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=37285931&appointmentType=84786179EveryBody Stretch is class that welcomes every BODY; regardless of flexibility or experience. Even though Ida is a yogi herself, she has found that offering a class dedicated to stretching outside of the yogic approach and philosophy is more conducive to her approach to wellness through a bodyworker’s lens.
In this class you will be guided through a full body stretch sequence catered to any physical limitations you may have. The intensity and depth is entirely up to the individual.
The intention of EveryBody Stretch is to understand your anatomy, battle chronic pain, increase flexibility, prevent future injuries, and to feel more present in your physical body.
About Your Host: Ida, is a retired massage therapist of over two decades. While no longer practicing massage, she now offers her skilled knowledge of the human body and her years of devotion to wellness, to empower her students to tend to their ever-changing bodies.

Nordic Sauna Night
Ida's Cave, 525 E Fairfield St, Gladstone, OR, USTickets must be purchased in advance to secure your seat in the sauna. Please register and pay at the link below ASAP:
https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=37285931&appointmentType=85073635Join us for Nordic Sauna Night! This event is co-ed and clothing optional, 18+. As the Finnish proverb states "All humans are equal, but nowhere more so than in a sauna". The sauna is a uniquely capable holding space where all of the elements come together for support. Within this space, we come as we are. We come for washing, for good health, and for healing. This is a sacred form of ritual bathing that has been practiced in Northern Europe for at least 7,000 years.
What is a Nordic Sauna? Nordic Sauna is a process of 15 minutes in the hot sauna (170°F - 200°F) followed by either a cold water plunge or dousing which is then repeated 2-3 more times depending on tolerance. The entire process takes approximately 75 minutes to complete. A sauna whisk made of birch, oak, or eucalyptus is used to gently beat and whisk the body to encourage circulation and blood flow while offering protection and purification. (Whisks are available for purchase when in stock)
Sauna is a HUGE part of everyday Nordic culture. Fun fact: There are more saunas than cars in Finland!
What to Expect: Upon arrival you'll meet Ida in the Lobby located through the back basement door. She'll show you where to undress and tell you how to prepare. She'll then guide you and the group through the Nordic Sauna process. Once complete, you’ll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the indoor and outdoor amenities.
About the Amenities: Our sauna is located in an urban backyard within the heart of Clackamas County. The sauna itself is a 10x10ft sauna with cedar benches and a wood-fired stove. The cold plunge area is an open air pergola with privacy curtains containing two claw foot tubs and a shower. There are several outdoor lounging areas great for relaxing and cooling off, including a covered gazebo. Weather and seasonally permitting, we’ll have a fire going in the fire pit for our guests to enjoy.
Located inside is a welcoming lobby with plenty of storage and hooks for your belongings. There’s a half bath adjacent to the lobby (no shower available). Beyond the lobby you’ll find “The Cave”; a cozy 150 sq ft room full of ambiance that will transport you to another place and time. The cave will be open to guests who would like to lay down to rest and/or stretch during their stay. Yoga mats and props available.
