SWEAT #09: A Sauna & Sound Pop Up

About

LUCKY NUMBER 9 WHY NOT? For our ninth installment of SWEAT, we're back at our beloved La Plaza Cultural Community Garden in the East Village for another two days of heat, cold, sounds, and the glorious elements. This time we've got some more friends joining us in the park: eclectic and spiritual sounds from the mayor of enjoyment Akanbi, a grounding running meditation from Aingeru Zorita and Usal Project, and -- of course -- Queen Soluna, our translucent sauna where you can sweat while taking in the full bloom of everyone's favorite willow tree. Let's get to it. ✩ PROGRAM ✩ ꩜ 30 min guided and unguided sauna + cold plunge sessions. Timed entry through ticketed slots. ꩜ Aromatic infusions with organic essential oils at the start of every session ꩜ Immersive sounds curated by Akanbi and more TBA ꩜ Cacao infusions by SALÚNA ꩜ Ginger shots by Juicy Lucy NOTE: for those wanting longer sessions, we encourage you to book back-to-back slots. ✩ WHAT TO BRING ✩ Swimsuit Towel Water-friendly footwear ✩ CHANGING ROOMS ✩ Private changing pods will be available.
