Why a sauna, and why now?
For thousands of years, communities across Northern Europe have gathered around heated stones, listening to the hiss of water turning to steam. The reasons haven't changed much: warmth, calm, a few minutes away from the noise of the day, and the kind of conversation that only seems to happen when nobody is in a hurry.
This site is a memo for newcomers, written by people who used to be newcomers themselves. It will not turn you into a sauna scholar overnight, but by the end of it you'll know what to bring, what to do once you're inside, and — equally important — what not to do.
Read in any order. Come back any time. There's no test at the end.
