How it works

Before you arrive

Arrive well-hydrated and wearing clothes you’re ready to sweat in. We ask all guests to wear at least a bathing suit in our sauna, as well as shoes that are easy to slip on and off.
During your session

Enjoy your 50 minutes in the sauna, with breaks between ~15 minute rounds. We encourage guests to listen to their bodies and step out of the sauna to cool down from the intense heat when they feel ready.
Etiquette in the sauna

We ask guests to sit on a towel in the sauna, to ask others before pouring water on the rocks for some steam, and to keep conversation at a pleasant noise level.
After your session

Hydrate and eat well to replenish your body after this restorative activity.

Share the heat.

Slow down and let the wood-fired warmth restore you. The shared vulnerability of sitting in the heat puts everyone on equal footing.

Embrace the cold.

Thrive through Maine’s seasons. Contrast the bite of the ocean breeze or a cold plunge in the water by seeking out the warm glow of the sauna.

Build community.

Congregate at the sauna with friends and kind strangers. Leave your phone outside and converse while you sweat. A year round antidote to social isolation and digital distraction.
