Guided Thermaculture™ sessions combine traditional Nordic Sauna with thermic bathing best practices from around the globe for an out-of-this-world social steam experience. You will experience a sampling of a variety of techniques and wellness practices, featuring a unique combination of gentle guided sauna steam aromatherapy, light breathwork, movement, and meditation designed to activate parasympathetic thermoregulation (ie the ability to respond to intense environments without triggering fight-or-flight neurochemicals such as adrenaline).

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 during. Attendees under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Parents are welcome to bring children ages 5-13 during our Family Day Steam Sessions programming on Sunday mornings. 

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. We have small lockers on site for use; just bring your own lock! Please note that Malcolm Yards requires shoes and either a robe or clothes to be worn indoors.

*Snow angels and cold exposure methods will be weather dependent. If above freezing temperatures, cold water buckets and rinsing stations will be available.
