*points
of unity*
01 centering queerness
we are anti-patriarchy, pro LGBTQIA+. Our work is focused around the
support of queer and trans guests, and stewarding spaces of queer
joy, healing and expression.
02 racial justice
we oppose the oppression of black, indigenous and people of color.
we are committed to collaborating with and supporting events of
BIPOC-centered groups and organizations.
03 socialists under capitalism
we’re against the subjugation and exploitation of working people. we
share ownership equally as a collective, operate without managers or
hierarchy and participate in an ecosystem of other collectives &
cooperatives.
the benefits of sauna-ing are plentiful! sauna use has a long list
of health benefits from improving circulation and cardiovascular
function to detoxification and reducing inflammation. a sauna
session is an opportunity to unplug alone or with others, and can
help reset one’s perspective, mood, or feeling. we invite you come
enjoy the heat, water, and steam with friends. ☻☺
04 public leisure
all people deserve leisure, relaxation and pleasure. we aim to
create spaces that are public and affordable rather than private and
exclusive. we maintain work practices that support the recreation of
our members.
05 diversity of abilities
we believe in the value, rights, and joy of people of all abilities.
we practice this belief by rotating work between all members
regardless of specialty or identity. we design our spaces with
sensitivity for access to bathers of all abilities.
