About Aufguss

Aufguss is a traditional European sauna ritual that enhances heat, steam, and scent. Essential oils are poured over heated stones while a sauna guide circulates the heat with fans or towels. This process intensifies the sauna experience, boosts circulation, and promotes deep relaxation. Each ritual combines temperature, scent, and movement for a fully immersive experience.

    • House-made cleansing tea

    • Six Aufguss rituals to choose from (you’ll experience at least three)

    • Live DJ set throughout the evening
