Feeling very Venus di Milo.

Full Wolf Moon Sauna!

It was too cold to row and someone would say too cold to dip! There was skim ice on the water, after all.

The feel of that icy cold water against my very hot skin…dipping in an ice-laden moonbeam. The moon, conjunct with Jupiter, in the sign of Cancer, below the moon, just above the horizon. Magnificent.

I’ll be offering the Full Moon Sauna throughout the winter and into the spring. You don’t have to row with me to sauna but just imagine….being out on the water for a winter row and then having a hot woodfired sauna waiting for you back on shore. It felt incredibly delicious to enter back into that hot and cozy chamber, lit only by the flames, and heat up again after my icy dip!

Happy Full 🐺 🌕 everyone! Offering another FM community sesh tonight 1/4! Book your seat on my DWR site: www.dorywomanrowing.com

Christmas in upstate New York. Always an extra special time of year because it’s also my son Leo’s birthday on the 27th. And this year was extra EXTRA special because he turned 21!

My mom lives in Johnstown, New York, which is a sweet little town at the foothills of the Adirondacks, filled to the brim with history. My morning walk often took me to Johnson Hall, a gorgeous historic site near where my mom lives. A colonial cemetery stands sentinel nearby.

My visit home would not have been complete without going to Canajoharie, the town I grew up in. My old town was all gussied up for the holidays. I was delighted to see that the “dummy light” was back, one of only a few standing traffic lights in the country! A car crashed into it a few years back and they finally replaced it with a new light! It was fun to take a walk down memory lane with Leo. We stopped by the first school I went to, West Hill, on the NYS historic registry because Susan B Anthony taught there. Much before I went to school there 😂!

Apparently, the vultures really like Canjo. We saw many lurking about. Leo and I savored the post-industrial beauty of this place, harkening back to the days that Canjo was a factory town. Did you know the flat-bottomed paper bag was invented in Canajoharie?

For the first time, I went to Jim’s Irish Harbor, which has been there forever and played pool and had a pint with my 21-year old son! Very upstate New York! It may sound strange, but this was one of my favorite moments in my visit.

What’s the saying…”You can never really go home?”

I may no longer live in this place, but there’s still a part of me there. I’m a Mainer now, but I’ll always be a girl from upstate NY.

Stay tuned for a new date in the new year!

Remember my post yesterday where I said I had a BIG announcement, just in time for the holidays?

(cue the drumroll)

Meet my new sauna! Coming to the Belfast waterfront soon!

THIS is what I have been working on since last March, when I won that $10K grant from WOMEN’S NET! It’s been a journey finding the right sauna. I can tell you, when I saw this one, it was like the first time I saw my boat. I knew she was the one!

Her name is Melusine, after the double-tailed mermaid. The sauna represents a second “tail” of my business. There’s more to the story of how I came up with that name, but I’ll save that for another time.

In the meantime, I’m feeling incredibly excited and admittedly, a little terrified about expanding my business and winter wellness program at DoryWoman Rowing!

This new tail of my business has a name, as well
SALTY WITCH SAUNA! 🧙🔥🌊

I’ll be offering sessions starting next weekend, in time for Solstice! The official launch will be New Year’s Eve day, December 31st! What a way to usher out the old and ring in the new!

Watch this space for updates! You can also get them right in your inbox by signing up for my DWR newsletter. Visit my site and scroll to the bottom of the page to sign up!

I also still need your votes to help me win that $50K! Voting is open for one more week, through December 20th. I’ve got big plans for that $$, including, equipment, operations and marketing for Salty Witch Sauna...and seeding another big dream.
