Finlandia Foundation National presents:

National Sauna Week.

A global celebration of sauna as culture, ritual and shared experience. Across the week, sauna practitioners, builders, researchers and community leaders from around the world come together to share knowledge, stories and perspectives on what sauna really is and why it matters.

Expect a programme of free online talks and discussions, alongside in-person events hosted by participating saunas (across the US), offering opportunities to experience heat, rest and connection in real community spaces.

National Sauna Week honours the deep cultural roots of sauna while supporting its thoughtful growth today — as a practice that supports wellbeing, presence and human connection. Whether you are new to sauna or deeply immersed in the culture, this week is an invitation to slow down, learn, and take part.
