Community Sauna Thursday evenings in the summer! We are pleased to bring this experience to our community…..a traditional, wood-fired, Finnish-inspired sauna (pronounced sow-na).

Every Thursday: 5:15-6:45 AND 7-8:30

These are reoccurring events 90 minute community sauna sessions with cold tubs provided for each session. Participants are encouraged to hang out and enjoy the evening on the riverfront with friends old and new!

Our community sessions are an opportunity to come alone or with friends and meet new people! You will be sitting on the sauna bench with folks you may or may not know. There will be up to 14 people in any given 90 min sauna session. Minimum age for community sessions is 18 years old. Community Sessions are mixed-gender.

Swimsuits are required.

Typically one will spend from 10-15 minutes in the hot room, then cool down by sitting outside, cold plunging (in an ice bath or the river), or just a quick cold rinse with the bucket shower. After this, a rest period is recommended either outside or in the lounge area before heading back into the hot room. These rounds are often repeated a few times: hot sauna, cold water, rest and repeat.

- an invigorating way to get outside, enjoying the natural world

- a place and experience to enjoy together…..building community with friends new and old, families, and colleagues.

- an ancient method to reduce stress, promote health, sleep better, and feel great.

- beginner-friendly- no experience necessary… just an open mind!
