Nordic Night: Winter BBQ, Löyly & Embracing Scandinavian Tradition

Tuesday, January 27th, 4:30–6:30PM

We’ll see you at our third members-only event! We've reserved the entire sanctuary just for you.

It's BBQ time and we're transporting you to the Nordic North! We'll be supplying burgers, berries, nuts, goat cheese, crackers and rye bread. Plus, our regular beloved beverages at the hydration station. Please feel free to bring food to BBQ if you'd like to share it family style- we are, after all!

What is Löyly?
Löyly (pronounced “LOW-loo”) is a Finnish term for the steam that rises when water is thrown on hot sauna stones. It is the sensation experienced from this blanket of warmth, or powerful wave of energy. It represents the entire essence of the sacred Finnish sauna experience. It is the soul of the sauna. Central to Finnish life and culture, it symbolizes spirit, life, rituals, healing and renewal. The essence of Löyly is to slow down, feel the heat, connect with the moment and either contemplate silence or enjoy quiet conversation.

Bringing a guest?
Use your monthly buddy pass, or grab a Member’s Night Guest Pass ($30) with promo code:

Space is limited, so please RSVP early!
We’re truly so thankful to have you as part of the Ærth community!

Join us for two hours of shared presence — an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with your body, and feel held in q***r community. Open to anyone who identifies as a member of the 2SLBTQIA+ community.

Each circle begins and ends together, with time in between to move at your own rhythm: with access to three saunas, a cold plunge tub, gentle movement and breathwork offerings, and a dedicated Low Stim Area. Our focus is on grounding and connection, with an invitation to arrive as you are, breathe deeply, and soften into embodiment and belonging.

All bodies are welcomed, valued, and celebrated in this space, with care and priority for the comfort and safety of two spirit, trans, non-binary, and/or gender-diverse attendees. Swimsuit bottoms are required, tops are optional for all attendees. This is a non-sexual gathering that promotes body neutrality/positivity/non-judgement. Please help us create an environment where everyone can feel relaxed and at ease in their bodies.

There’s love here, there’s wisdom, and as we are all human, there is imperfection. That’s what creates a sense of home. It’s grounded in real, lived experience — not some polished version of wellness, just the real, human stuff.

heart and passion without the polish. just people being people, together.

Before custom-made waving towels and bottled essential oils were a thing, Mother Nature provided her branches and leaves for use in sauna rituals that are still alive and well today. In the Banya tradition, these are called veniks. Come and enjoy a venik massage and tree-infused steam with us. Some describe this ritual as being hugged warmly by the forest. We will be lowering the sauna temperature somewhat for a longer session. This Banya Session is an optional offering. Facilitated by Ben Young Hart and .of.aerth, this ritual will take place in our Silent Sauna starting at 6:15 pm, and replaces our daily Aufguss that evening.

Anyone who is in the space at this time as part of their 90-minute cycle is welcome to join. The Banya session will go on at least until 8 pm in our Silent Sauna, and participants may enter and exit the sauna as they see fit.

🔥 We’ve been waiting a long time for this.
Banya Training Day with Dan & Anya Bondarenko is finally here. This is a one-day immersive course, paired with an optional private Banya evening - an intimate invitation into the depth, history, and lived tradition of Banya.
The experience begins with a private Banya session on January 18 (unrushed, come and go as it feels right), followed by a four-hour training on January 19 diving into Banya’s origins, the why behind the practice, methods, ritual, and venik work. Expect learning through heat, presence, and experience - not just theory.
Very limited spots. Just 6 participants, alongside a few members of the Ærth team, in a private sauna setting. Snacks, venik, and sauna access included.

Join us for an evening of guided breathwork, brotherhood, and sharpening the masculine edge through heat and cold in a welcoming space for connection and reflection.

Guided by guest facilitator Jeremiah Hoeft (.force.awakening), we’ll arrive through breath and meditation before moving through the elements together. Across three sauna experiences, we’ll breathe, sweat, and ground together—creating space for expansion, connection, and a full recharge of mind, body, and spirit.

And live musical infusion by local musician Wesley Jobe. 10 years strong playing the didgeridoo for many healing spaces, Wesley brings great depth with his music, and always some fun surprises!

This men’s container is created with the intention of restoration, grounded presence, and showing up authentically—so we can heal, grow, and strengthen the parts of ourselves that often go unseen.

Through community and challenge, men develop accountability, clarity, and depth. When we sit together, witness each other, and hold the mirror up, we access the potential we cannot reach alone.

Men once had a tribe—a pack to hunt with, to sweat beside, to face challenge together. In this modern era of individualism, that foundation has gone untapped. We’re rebuilding it here, breath by breath.

6:30-9pm (doors 6:30, program starts at 7 sharp). Register with your membership, punch pass, or drop-in credit.

We look forward to gathering with you.
