Why Sauna in Nature?

The heat and relaxation of a Sauna can help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, while promoting a sense of calm and well-being. Since the Sauna is outside, the visitors receive not only the benefits of hot/cold healing, but also the benefits of Forest bathing. A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that spending time in a forest environment resulted in a significant decrease in participants' heart rate, blood pressure, and sympathetic nervous system activity, indicating a relaxation response. Sauna bathing has said to improve cardiovascular health, memory, longevity, down regulates the nervous system, reduces pain and stiffness, and many more. Finland is the leading country who is conducting research into the benefits of Sauna use.

Merging the Arts

Immersing oneself in the sauna is an ancient practice of purification, detoxification, cleansing, and solidarity. This tradition dates back thousands of years across cultures on all continents. What isn’t discussed much is that sauna bathing is the oldest form of art - it encompasses healing arts, sculptural arts, and performance arts.

At Lumina, we are honored to celebrate the emergence of these arts with the community. Participants become the Art, being formed by the flame, as if they are the clay pot, glass bowl, or metal sculpture.
