Sign Up On the Kindled Site (page 2)

Kindled Community Sauna is a mobile, wood-fired sauna and cold plunge experience centered west of Madison. Kindled is born from a dream of leading people toward wellness and toward connection with others. For us, sauna is not a social media trend or a seasonal sport but rather a year-round ritual rich in history and tradition. Sauna has the ability to strip us down both mentally and physically- lighter clothing, fewer screens, more vulnerability, limited status symbols. Facing the heat and overcoming it fosters grit, resilience, and relaxation.

There is no rigid structure to the 60 minute sauna sessions. Cycle through hot, cold, rest, rehydrate, repeat how it feels best for you to do so. These are community sessions where you will sauna alongside up to 5 other folks. Wear whatever it is you feel comfortable getting sweaty and/or wet in. Please bring one towel to sit on in the sauna and another one to dry off after your session. Bring a water bottle and slip on shoes. An email will be sent out prior to your session with some details, reminders, and a waiver to sign.

11:00 AM - 11:45 AM | Meet at Gateway Building | $25

Forest bathing and forest therapy (or shinrin-yoku) is the conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest. Immersed in the atmosphere of Nature we will move slowly and silently, noticing what Nature shares on this sensory experience. Following prompts, or invitations, for nature connection, we become alive in the felt sense of the present moment, helping us find peace, being-ness and the many health and wellbeing benefits of time in the APT woods. Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Kate Bast of Shinrin-yoku Madison for a meditative Forest Bathing Session in the woods of APT.
