The latest Spirit of Sauna podcast episode is here! 🎙️

How do we heal a human being, and what role does our worldview play in that process? In this episode, Laura and Otto explore how healing is physical, emotional and spiritual, always shaped by the way we understand ourselves, nature and the unseen dimensions of life.

We travel back to the ways our ancestors used the sauna as a place of cleansing, renewal and ritual. Which of these ancient practices can still be traced and lived today, and how do they resonate in a modern context?

At a time when stress, disconnection and burnout affect more people than ever before, the ancestral wisdom of sauna reminds us that healing is essential for both individuals and communities.

New episode of the Spirit of Sauna podcast is out! 🎙️

In this episode, Laura and Otto trace the journey of the kiuas from ancient stone piles in smoke saunas to the sleek electric heaters of today, exploring how it has shaped the sauna as a communal and ritual space.

Laura and Otto approach the sauna as a temple, with kiuas as its altar, a meeting point of the elements, where the inner world of the human being resonates with the rhythms of nature. And if we go one step further: what if the altar of löyly is not just a place of fire and stone, but a doorway into the very fabric of reality itself?

“How can it be this quiet anywhere?”

This question was voiced not long ago during a silent sauna session, and it stayed with us.

We live in a time where noise follows us everywhere. Phones keep beeping, traffic hums in the background, and only rarely is a moment in daily life truly free from disturbance. Perhaps that’s why the silence of a smoke sauna feels so extraordinary.

Inside the smoke sauna the silence is almost complete. There isn’t even the crackling of fire. The fire has already done its work, and the powerful heat stored in the stones carries on, if needed far into the night. And when words fall silent for a while, you realize you are in a very different state: attuned to yourself, to those around you, and to the nature embracing you.

For us, a silent sauna session doesn’t mean isolation. Greetings are exchanged, perhaps in the hot tub or the dressing room, and laughter carries from the campfire shelter. 😅 But when stepping into the smoke sauna, we give space to silence – and with it, to everyone’s chance of experiencing the löyly more deeply.

During the silent sessions it has also felt natural to follow the tradition where swimwear is optional. In this way, people can simply and genuinely be together as humans.

This experiment has been important for us. Silence in the smoke sauna has proven to be a powerful experience, and so far it has worked beautifully. At its best, silent bathing shows that when the noise fades, something essential about the sauna is revealed, and the löyly can be felt in a truly unique way.

Have you listened to the Spirit of Sauna podcast yet? This project, very dear to us, was born from a wish to highlight the Finno-Ugric sauna heritage, a voice still rarely heard amidst all the talk of wild fitness trends and meticulous construction details. 😅

The hosts are Laura Foon, sauna healer and researcher of traditions, and Otto Kronqvist, sauna host and philosopher. Together they open up the deeper layers of sauna culture, focusing on a different aspect of sauna in each episode.

If you have listened, which episode is your favorite? 🤔 Some of ours are Episode 1 “Löyly”, where we dive into the very soul of sauna. Episode 8, where we explore the sauna as a ritual space. And Episode 14, which uncovers the folklore of gnomes, elves, and their philosophy closely tied to the sauna.

Summer is often a quiet time for public sauna sessions, and this year the calm atmosphere lasted well into August thanks to the warm weather. And that’s just fine, the sauna is heated every day, even for a smaller group!

Warm or not, the arrival of autumn is felt each year as the light fades and darkness takes its place, and our little half-hectare forest falls into silence. At the same time, the smoke sauna door swings open more often, and the löyly gathers people together as a counterbalance to nature’s retreat.

Last Saturday, while watching the lunar eclipse, this all came together in a truly magical moment: the cycle of the year follows its own path, and we move along with it. 🙏🏻

Five days of warm learning and shared time by the löyly are now behind us! 🔥🌿

The wonderful crew from Lapland, Väki Wellness, joined us here in Sipoon River Valley for training. And what an absolutely amazing week it was. The foundation for guiding traditional sauna rituals is now built!

We provide tailored sauna healer training for individuals, work communities, and groups of friends alike. If the sauna is an important part of what you do, we’ll help you deepen its meaning. 🙏🏻

New episode of the Spirit of Sauna podcast is out! 🎙️

In this episode, Laura and Otto explore meditation as something quietly familiar. For many older Finns, the sauna has long been a meditative practice. It was never called meditation, yet that’s what it was, and still is.

Meditation begins the moment we let go. Rather than seeking control, it’s about softening. It’s about allowing the mind to settle, the breath to deepen, and, in the sauna, letting the löyly unfold into a deep and spacious experience.

We talk about why the sauna is an ideal place for this kind of release. Its calming heat, gentle rhythm, and quiet atmosphere invite inwardness. The same presence can be found in nature: in forests, by lakes, and in the silence of a winter evening.

We also reflect on what is lost when the sauna turns into a space of noise and distraction. When it becomes just a party venue, something essential is forgotten. What happens when we lose the ritual, the presence, the stillness?
