🌿👨👩👧👦 Family Sauna at Soul Water Sauna
Did you know that children aged 6+ are welcome at Soul Water Sauna?
Sauna can be a wonderful family experience, creating space to slow down, reconnect and make memories together over the summer holidays.
If you’d like to introduce your family to sauna, please take a moment to read and follow our family sauna guidance before booking:
✨ Children aged 13+ can attend Community Sauna sessions when accompanied by an adult (1 adult : 2 children).
✨ Children aged 6–12 can attend *private sauna* sessions with their family (2 adults : 1 child).
✨ Children aged 16 and under must never be left alone in the sauna and must be supervised at all times.
🚨 As a rule, the younger the child, the more vigilant the adult needs to be.
We’d love to welcome your family and help make sauna part of your wellbeing routine this summer. 💛
NEXT WEEKEND ~ 21.06.26 🔥
Join American Aufguss Master Sarah Spoto for a special Midsummer Aufguss Ritual ☀️ ♨️
As the longest day of the year gives way to the shortest night, join Sarah for a celebration of midsummer light and Finnish magic. Drawing on the ancient traditions of Finland, this Aufguss ritual weaves heat, steam, scent, and towel-waving into a shared sensory journey. Working with the aromas and sounds of a Finnish summer, the session explores themes of joy and light.
Sarah Spoto is an American Aufgussmaster, and the founder of Badii, a Swiss-inspired thermal bathing community. She recently competed in the 2026 US Aufguss Nationals with her very memorable Heated Rivalry-inspired performance and took home fourth place. Sarah also hosts a podcast called Badii Talk: Thermal Bathing & Sauna Culture where she dives deep into the global bathing world.

Our ‘Rewilding Thought’ session creatively challenges the idea that we are disconnected from nature when living within urban spaces.
As we practice Sauna, both of us seek to bring elements of ourselves into our rituals. We do that through a variety of techniques in the Sauna. Combining pieces of animistic thought, and Pirtis practice we will guide guests to question where this feeling of separation from nature that we all relate to comes from and how we, as modern day urban people, might ‘rewild’ that perception.
We will examine how stories shape the world we know, exploring the role of folk story in our cultural education and how childhood imagination might be a key to establishing a relationship with man-made creations.
The session will include the use of Pirtis (leaf whisking) and guide visualisations to help us explore these themes.
Both Eric & Katharine hold a Level 2 Bath Master qualification with the International Bathing Academy. Eric additionally holds a Masters in Outdoor Education, where his research specialised in Animism. Katharine holds a BA Acting from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. They have combined their backgrounds, qualifications and
interests to create unique and powerful this workshop.
