Saturday Night Aufguss Steam at The Great Northern Sauna Village

Jan 20, 27 & Feb 3, 6-7:30 pm 
Tickets: $80

German Aufguss is a multi-sensory experience inside the sauna, incorporating core elements of heat, essential oils, and music. Superior Sauna & Steam’s Thermaculture™ program trains guides in classic Aufguss procedures that are facilitated by a “Saunameister” who pours water, enriched with natural essential oils, several times on the hot stones and uses a towel to circulate the hot air through the sauna. This heightens the heat and creates an intense experience. This is repeated up to three times, each Aufguss session lasting 8 to 12 minutes. 

Before, during, or after the sessions, attendees are invited to relax fireside in the Room & Board vignettes under ambient lights to enjoy time with companions, or slide up to the We Are Water MN’s Water Bar to rehydrate and reconnect with our most precious resource and the relationships—both natural and human—it sustains. Malcolm Yards will be open just feet away to serve you a specialty Great Northern cocktail or another festive libation or fare.

Please note: Sauna participants must be 13+ years of age at the time of their sauna experience. Attendees under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 

How to prepare: Bring easy-to-slip-on/off sandals or flip-flops, a towel, a robe to wear to and from the saunas, and a water bottle to stay hydrated. Bathing suits are required, and we recommend coming already dressed to maximize sauna time. Please note that Malcolm Yards requires shoes and either a robe or clothes to be worn indoors.

Outdoor furniture generously provided by Room & Board.
