Our Sauna Manifesto

  1. Sauna is a welcoming space for all: A refuge for relaxation, reflection, and healing, open to everyone.

  2. Sauna unites body, mind, and spirit: An ancient tradition blending spirituality, health, and cultural heritage.

  3. Löyly is essential to sauna: The user controls the sacred steam, creating a ritual of balance and renewal.

  4. Sauna connects past and present: The warmth of the stones and steam links us to history and inspires growth today.

  5. Sauna symbolizes a healthy society: A place of equality and community, where everyone shares in its warmth and wisdom.

ABOUT

National Sauna Week is a heartfelt celebration of the Finnish sauna tradition, a cultural treasure that blends history, wellness, and connection. Rooted in values of harmony, equality, and restoration, this week-long event unites people worldwide to honor the transformative power of sauna as a sanctuary for the body, mind, and spirit. Everyone is invited, regardless of background, to experience the universal gift of rejuvenation and belonging found in the löyly (steam) and warmth of the stones.

 

With events ranging from virtual webinars and educational programs to in-person gatherings hosted by Finlandia Foundation chapters, Sauna Week celebrates sauna as a space for personal and collective renewal. At its core, National Sauna Week embodies the belief that sauna is a metaphor for a healthy society—where differences are left at the door, and all are equal in the shared embrace of warmth and community.
