Description

612 Sauna Society Cooperative is offering a donation-based sauna night where all proceeds will be donated to World Central Kitchen. 612 Sauna Society Gives Back! Join us for a donation-based sauna session, Aid to Ukraine: Supporting World Central Kitchen. The 612 Sauna Society serves our local community, yet like most of us, we have been affected by what's happening to our brothers and sisters far away, since the Ukraine invasion. During our recent 612 Sauna Society board meeting, we agreed to offer a financial contribution to Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen who is "working at a 24-hour pedestrian border crossing in southern Poland, WCK began serving hot, nourishing meals immediately. Now, we've expanded our efforts to serve people across the region in Romania, Moldova, and Hungary. WCK is also partnering with restaurants inside of Ukraine to get hot meals to anyone in need." We welcome you to our sauna, and encourage you to support Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen in your own way, where possible. All proceeds from your ticket donations will be donated to WCK. If you would like to donate additional funds to WCK, please visit the World Central Kitchen Donation Page. Because this is a donation based session, previous promo codes/discounts cannot be used. Thank you for your understanding. Each seat is donation based--pay what you can and it will be donated!Each 90 minute session is capped at 7 people with no overlap in between sessions. The sauna will be located near the patio area.Check out the brewery's food truck schedule You can change inside in Bauhaus' restrooms (not on Sundays) or plan on either coming ready to sauna or you can change inside the Forge.Grab a drink after to support our wonderful hosts at Bauhaus!

We are aware of ourselves, each other, and our surroundings to ensure a safe environment for all sauna guests. We are aware of our own health and safety, and we are also aware of the health of other guests. We and our guests believe that everyone is equally worthy of love, respect, and dignity. We believe that differences of race, age, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, body shapes and sizes, nationalities, (and beyond) are simply part of being human and all are welcome here. In short, we endeavor to treat each other as a family—one that loves and respects each other. Thank you for helping us create a safe and comfortable space for all.  SAUNA TIPS Please arrive hydrated so you can enjoy the full benefits of your time on the bench. Sauna promotes healthy blood flow by activation of the thermoregulatory system. Practicing full “rounds” will provide the full health benefits. A round consists of 10-20 mins in the hot room (your body will tell you when your time is up), followed by a cool-down period outside. Letting your body cool down between rounds by relaxing and cooling off at the rinse station will increase your circulation and provide the full physical and mental benefit of the experience. A typical sauna session consists of 3-4 rounds of this hot-cold treatment. Learn more about the health benefits of Sauna here. AND MORE - The Sauna will be staffed by a trained host. If you have further questions about Sauna, The Forge or the 612 Sauna Society, please ask a member of the Stoker Team, or email us at [email protected]. - See you on the bench!
