Bridging the Majestic Nature of Montana with the Authentic Healing Traditions of Finland
Host Your Retreat
Bring your unique offering to Blue Star — a space designed for guided group experiences (6–20 people) focused on wellness, healing, and wisdom traditions from around the world. Enhance your retreat with optional local offerings like sauna, massage, yoga, and energy work, while your participants connect with nature, reflect in quiet spaces, and integrate their experiences in a supportive, nurturing environment.
Signature Retreats
Personalized 3–7 day journeys for individuals or couples, blending rest and renewal with curated healing experiences available year-round — set in 20 wooded acres along a year-round creek near Whitefish, Montana, with access to sauna and cold plunge, forest trails, fire-pit reflection spots, and a host of wellness modalities in harmony with the land.
Finnish Sauna Treatments
Private and group sessions featuring authentic Finnish healing rituals — led by Finnish-trained practitioner Tanjariitta, born and raised in Finland — including the first and only Finnish peat sauna in the U.S., along with a full menu of balneotherapy offerings. Each experience blends traditional heat and cold therapy with natural elements like peat, clay, and salt for deep detoxification and renewal. Rooted in centuries-old Finnish sauna culture & traditions, Sauna60 offers a restorative space to slow down, cleanse, and reconnect.
