Sauna Events
This upcoming year…start with community
Gift events and sauna experiences that they will never forget. Our various sauna events have been curated to attract your curious, your creatives, and your wellbeing enthusiasts.
Whether it is storytelling, sound bathing, or the more traditional Aufguss, you can find a little something for everyone.
Innovation from BALM sound is devised to leave you restored, uplifted and super chilled out.
Over a series of sound baths performed live inside the sauna, Shaun invites you to leave life's burdens at the door and let everything drift away...
Join and experience a specially flavoured Aufguss, characterised by homemade signature ice balls, inventive essential oil blends, eclectic music and an intense shared heat experience. Aufguss is a multi-sensory sauna ritual that involves a sauna master using water and a towel to circulate heat throughout the sauna.
This evening is for people who are trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming.
We want to celebrate trans bodies in many of their shapes. An evening for warmth, care and community. There will be music, food, cold water barrels, hot saunas and chitchat. We are lucky to have Hackney Wick Community Saunas entirely to ourselves this Monday.
We'll immerse ourselves in the words of trans and queer poets and be guided by our facilitator Gayathiri @unembarrassable in discussion and writing exercises. Let the sauna melt and reshape the way you use language, and grow your creative appetite. There'll be space for silent reflection and sharing if you feel so moved!
Facilitated by Gayathiri @unembarassable (they/them)
Come celebrate Winter Solstice with us! This time of the year invites us to look inwards and spend time in rest and reflection. In this session you will be guided through a ceremony to honour the darkness, listen to our bodies and learn from the natural world as winter draws in. This is a time to come together and celebrate community, the flame that keeps us going through the harsh winters. So, join us in honouring the longest night with sauna bathing, cold plunges and storytelling around the solstice fire.
Mamma Swim exists to make swimming more fun, sociable, and accessible for all mums. A swimming community supporting mums to boost their mental and physical health. Baby-sitting exchange that allows for both mums and babies to feel safe and held throughout the sauna experience.
The Community Sauna, in collaboration with Harriet from @playwithsisi, has teamed up to offer mothers of all kinds a space to recharge, reset, and connect.
We invite you to enjoy our hot saunas, cold plunges, and social connection - an invitation to let go of the to-do list and prioritise your wellbeing.
