Elaisa 7th Birthday – Ode to Japan
Elaisa 7th Birthday | 5 & 6 September 2026
Seven years ago, we opened the doors to Elaisa Energetic Wellness: a place where nature, energy, and mindfulness converge. We’d love to celebrate this with you.
During our anniversary weekend, we’ll take you on a special journey to the heart of Japan, a country where simplicity, stillness and respect for nature are deeply woven into daily life. A culture where rituals are a way to be fully present in every moment.
For two days, Elaisa will be entirely dedicated to Japanese traditions, ceremonies, scents, flavors, and sounds.Immerse yourself in the powerful rhythms of the taiko drums, discover the serene beauty of origami and experience the ancient wisdom of shinrin-yoku – the conscious connection to nature’s healing power.
Award-winning Japanese sauna masters bring the authentic Japanese art of sauna infusion to life. Each aufguss is a gateway to another world, where ancient Japanese wisdom, the power of the elements, and the stillness of the moment converge. Each experience invites you to let go, slow down, and reconnect with your inner nature.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll experience inspiring rituals, discoveries, and moments that encourage you to slow down, feel more deeply, and reconnect with yourself and nature.
Ode to Japan is more than just a birthday celebration. It’s a tribute to a culture that teaches us that true beauty arises from simplicity, mindfulness, and harmony.
Join us in celebrating Elaisa’s seventh anniversary and experience a weekend filled with peace, energy, wonder, and deep connection.
Embark on a journey inward with Japan as your source of inspiration.
Please note: Saturday, September 5, is Swimwear Day, when wearing swimwear is mandatory, and on Sunday, September 6, swimwear is not permitted anywhere in the Wellness Complex.
