Our nervous systems weren’t built for the constant buzz…
but they do remember how to calm.

Here, between cedar heat and river cold,
the world slows — and your body finally gets safety again.
Not because you earned it…
but because it’s your birthright.

🔥 Sauna restores warmth.
❄️ Plunge awakens aliveness.
🌲 Nature teaches you to soften.

This isn’t just self‑care.
It’s nervous system nourishment.

Come back to your breath.
Come back to your body.
Come back to yourself.

My favorite photo of 2025. Why? Because it’s two of my closest friends in the world, enjoying a rest cycle from the juniper lined sauna we built for them out in Eastern Oregon a few years back. It’s become a rhythmic part of their daily lives. It’s a place they use often and regularly, a place where their friends and locals come to Gather frequently, a place they share with all newcomers and visitors passing through. It’s become a heartbeat of connection within a tiny rural town that grounds me in the reminder of what it’s all really all about…when you take the business out of it and you strip away the glitz of social media and the cultural trends and viral moments. Out there, they are living the sauna life I always wanted for them…and for us all. Just regular, rhythmic moments of cleansing and connection. Out there in their tiny little isolated corner of the world there is nothing glamorous about it, and that makes it all the more endearing. We just need it, it’s that simple. It warms our spirit, it’s that easy. We can shed the day and its heaviness and prepare our minds and bodies for the next ahead. We can find meaning in the joy of sharing in that ritual with others. It just warms my heart to no end to know that we got to help create that for them and that they have made it so deeply ingrained into their lives such that it’s not flashy or novel, it’s just ordinary.

Our 2026 prayer for you all is that you may find an ORDINARY HOME in your sauna practice like this and that we can find the ways to help make that a reality for you too. ❤️ Thank you for taking this journey with us and supporting our 6th year of existence! The fact that we’re in the business of making you feel good is our highest honor and our deepest reward! Thank you thank you thank you for making it possible for us do this work ❤️🙌🏼 Happy New Year and Blessings in 2026!

Some recent reviews that prove that our guests just “get us”! And hopefully proof that we get them too! And that holding you through an experience of traditional authentic sauna with our trademark brand of what we coined as “hygge hospitality” and “hygge healing” - that is, holding healing space by using the simple often overlooked pleasures of any given moment (such as nature) and amplifying the tiny details of cozy to create a feeling of being deeply held and cared for 🙌🏼 - yep, it’s our “secret sauce”!!
5-star reviews, bathe wild, hygge healing, bathe outdoors, earn your cozy, hygge hospitality, keep it cozy, sauna on the Deschutes, river plunge, wood fired sauna.

Just a few things we commonly hear at the sauna! As if you need another reason to share the gift of an unforgettable experience that brings nothing but health, happiness and wellbeing!
We are so honored and grateful when you choose to spend your well earned money supporting our small, local business and team! We aim to take every dollar you spend with us and pay it back tenfold in our deep care of you and your loved ones!
It’s truly a gift and an honor to share the sauna bench, stories, laughter, and river charged dopamine highs with you! Merry Christmas and happy holidays from us to you!

It’s Saturday and while we’re always delighted when you choose to spend your hard earned dollars supporting our small, local, family run business, we also do what we do because we are fundamentally about supporting healthy experiences over things, connection over materialism, and slow living over fast consumption. Not to throw shade by any means because we’re also all about you doing you! That being said we are always grateful for your support and our carefully curated shop of limited high quality (mostly handmade and small batch) products are meant to support and elevate your sweat session! And you can also give your loved ones the gift of an unforgettable experience and time spent slowing down on the sauna bench - I know that’s on my list this year!
🌲💚
1) we’ll have a few curated gift sets available for purchase starting this Monday
2) we’ve got some exciting new merch dropping soon too! Stay tuned!

The world is heavy and our work has always been centered on lightening that load, creating and holding space for our community to heal, and fostering connection with nature, community and self.
💚🌿🫶🏼
In the sauna we shed our layers of identity and are brought into the recognition of our common flesh and blood. Sauna creates a safe space that tends to breed connection, conversation, and respectful exchange of ideas. It is our highest intention to continue to serve our community by holding space for all to come and heal and find a common thread with the human sitting across the bench.
🌿💚🫶🏼
As it has always been said, “all people are created equal, but not where more so than in the sauna”
- sauna proverb
💚🌿🫶🏼
Thank you for supporting us in supporting you. In the face of great global turmoil, we are more determined and focused than ever in our mission to serve the highest good for all who seek to heal within the heat of our flames🔥
