We are thrilled to share the next chapter in the evolution of SAVU and Vermont Sauna Culture. After more than three years and 10,000 sauna sessions, we’re bringing a bold, new vision to life.
Next month we will start construction on an 8,000 sq ft. bathhouse.
What began as a simple belief- that sweat heals, ritual matters, and gathering changes people- has grown into something far beyond what we imagined. You showed up. You kept coming back. You trusted the experience. And together, we built a community around heat, steam, and connection.
Our permits are approved, the space is ready, and we are prepared to begin construction. This is not a passing trend or speculative idea. It’s a real, tangible community asset, built on a foundation of 4 years operating here in Vermont. Your support will help turn this vision into a place we can all gather, heal, and celebrate for decades to come.
To mark this milestone and open the process, we’re hosting an open house on Thursday, 2/26 from 4–8pm at 208 Flynn Ave. Come see the space, explore the plans, ask questions, and learn how you can support and participate in bringing this bathhouse to life.
We’re so excited to welcome you in, to share what’s coming, and to build the future of sauna culture in Vermont together.
