The latest episode of Spirit of Sauna is out now! đŸŽ™ïž

In this episode, we return to the roots of sauna. Every meaningful sauna experience begins in the forest. Firewood, herbs, vihtas, even water; all of it comes from the land that surrounds us.

We talk about what has been lost when the forest is removed from sauna. With the rise of electric saunas, convenience often replaces connection. But is ease really the most important part of the sauna experience?

We also share how, in our courses, we explore the cycle of the year through the forest. Participants learn to work with vihta as a living tool for cleansing, activation and renewal.

At the sauna, the cycle of the seasons can be felt in every cell. That’s why we’ve decided to create a four-part series about the seasons here in the Sipoo River Valley. And naturally, we begin with the one we’re longing for most right now: summer. 💚

In summer, nature in the Sipoo River Valley bursts into full bloom. Birches turn pale green, bird cherries blossom in white, and rowans soon follow. The riverside groves become lush with green, and the air fills with the scent of damp earth and woodland herbs.

On the path to the sauna, the sharpness of spruce needles mixes with the sweetness of meadowsweet and the freshness of young birch leaves. Before long, nettle and fireweed join in, creating a heady symphony of scents.

The bathers, too, are at their brightest. There’s a lightness to their steps, and conversations flow easily. The steam feels sharp against the summer heat, like a wave of fire. But luckily, the cold plunge pool is there to cool you down to the core.

Summer is also our quietest time of the year.
You can often enjoy the sauna in peace, even on weekends. Sitting in the warm water, you can hear the wind in the trees and, if you’re lucky, the song of a nightingale performing from a nearby branch.

There’s something deeply calming about these, almost ASMR-like. 😌

These are genuine reindeer hides, warm, soft, and made for winter!

Just wonderful to finally have a proper winter here in the Sipoo river valley! ❄

First came all the snow, and then the biting cold. It’s hard work getting everything ready for the sauna sessions, but no doubt it’s all worth it in this beautiful setting.

“The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older,” sang Roger Waters once.

The quote came to mind this morning as this familiar, magnificent view appeared once again behind the smoke sauna. I’ve admired it hundreds of times by now, who knows how many. Still, I had to take the camera in hand and snap a photo. At the same time, a question arose: why does this view always move me, no matter the season?

Perhaps it is a kind of symbol of resilience. Here in the Sipoon River Valley, the smoke sauna is heated almost every day of the year, whether it’s a hot July day and people are heading to the beach instead of the sauna, or a day like this, with a -20 winter cold, when there is no shortage of bathers even on weekday shifts.

Keeping a smoke sauna is true artisanal work. Heating the sauna and preparing the water and spaces for each session is ritual-like activity, where certain steps repeat themselves year after year, season after season.

And what a privilege it is to heat a sauna in the midst of such nature. đŸ™đŸ»

Warm greetings from the smoke saunas at JÀmsÀ Sauna Village!

Our sauna host Otto is also the chair of the board of the Finnish Sauna Culture Association, which runs Sauna Village. Today, three smoke saunas and the old café lodge were brought to life by volunteers. It was a bitterly cold day (-15 C / 5 F), yet water was carried by hand, snow shoveled aside, and fires tended with care.

This evening, too, was made possible by shared effort and quiet dedication, known in Finnish as talkoohenki. It’s a spirit of community that is almost impossible to translate, and one that ensures that more than a dozen smoke saunas are heated here for hundreds of bathers every summer Saturday.

”Such a lovely and atmospheric sauna spot, this Sipoonjoen perinnesauna in Sipoo — have you been?

The 7–9 pm jĂ€lkilöylyt (after-steam session) was my Christmas gift to the family — what a luxury experience. We spent a long time outside, wearing woolly hats in the warm hot tub, enjoying the crisp air — and even dipped into the cold plunge! The heat and scent of the smoke sauna are so uniquely wonderful, just like here.

It was lovely to pour the warm water — prepared for us — over ourselves before stepping into the tub. And we finished with a wash in the shower room. Highly recommend.

In addition to private bookings, they also offer women’s and men’s public sauna sessions and various sauna treatments.”

Christmas episode of the Spirit of Sauna podcast is out! 🎄

In this episode, we dive into one of the most treasured Finnish traditions: the Christmas sauna. Alongside the midsummer sauna, it remains one of the last collective ritual saunas still widely practiced in Finnish homes.

Christmas sauna takes place during the day, surrounded by evergreen branches, straw, and birch whisks, all carrying memories of summer into the darkest time of the year.

What other customs are part of this sacred moment? And why is now the perfect time to wash away the past year? Tune in for reflections on ritual, renewal, and the quiet heart of the Finnish winter.

”After the New Moon sauna ceremony, at midnight on December 21st, the Women of the Sauna closed the door of the smoke sauna and paused to mark the winter solstice, moving into the time of nest days and the Christmas holidays. ✹

The eve of the winter solstice was celebrated with the inauguration of the new ritual sauna, Rauni.

It was the day of the new moon. The time after the new moon is auspicious for beginning something new. New moon, new beginning.

May there be much healing löyly.

Thank you
