SAUNA SOCIETY CODE

The Sauna Society Code has been identified to ensure that all guests have an enjoyable sauna and can be immersed in the health benefits of the activity, and can be summarized as follows:

At the 612 Sauna Cooperative, our intention is to support a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive space to enjoy the health and community benefits of sauna.
We are aware of ourselves, each other, and our surroundings to ensure a safe environment for all sauna guests.

We are aware of our own health and safety, and we are also aware of the health of other guests.

We and our guests believe that everyone is equally worthy of love, respect, and dignity. We believe that differences of race, age, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender, gender variance, body shapes and sizes, nationalities, (and beyond) are simply part of being human and all are welcome here.

In short, we endeavour to treat each other as a family—one that loves and respects each other.

Thank you for helping us create a safe and comfortable space for all.

SAUNA TIPS

Please arrive hydrated so you can enjoy the full benefits of your time on the bench.

Sauna promotes healthy blood flow by activation of the thermoregulatory system. Practicing full “rounds” will provide the full health benefits. A round consists of 10-20 mins in the hot room (your body will tell you when your time is up), followed by a cool-down period outside.

Letting your body cool down between rounds by relaxing and cooling off at the rinse station will increase your circulation and provide the full physical and mental benefit of the experience. A typical sauna session consists of 3-4 rounds of this hot-cold treatment.

Alcohol is not permitted.

The Sauna will be staffed by a trained host. If you have further questions about Sauna, The Forge or the 612 Sauna Cooperative, please ask a member of the Stoker Team, or email us at volunteer@612saunasociety.com.

Refund Policy

Refund Policy

Our policy remains the same–no refunds once you have purchased your ticket. During COVID times, we were offering credits if you were ill, however, we will no longer be offering that.  If you cannot make your session for any reason, you are welcome to share your ticket with another sauna lover or sell it to someone else. 

If you book the wrong date on Eventbrite, we will do our best to help you move the tickets, however, we will no longer be able to refund the Eventbrite fees.  Please keep in mind that we have one very part-time staff person that handles the bookings, and they may not be able to respond to you right away. The best option is to make sure that you have selected the correct date/time before you check out. 

We thank you all for your understanding.  We are a tiny but mighty cooperative, and our goal is to remain fiscally strong for years to come and of course, continue to provide good heat in good company!
