Rooted in European tradition and brought to life by skilled hands, the Aufguss ritual transforms a simple sauna session into something extraordinary. Guided by Ritual Artisans like Emily, it’s a multi-sensory experience of heat, scent, rhythm, and stillness. In this video, Emily walks us through what makes an Aufguss unique—and why it’s become a highlight of the thermal cycle.
