Evening sauna sessions ♨️🔥🌙

A pretty good way to start the week.
Or finish it.

Hot sauna, cold air, a bit of quiet, and no need to go anywhere.

Sometimes that’s all you need — a proper reset in the backyard, a bit of steam, and a chance to clear the head before the week kicks off again.

Small setup. Real heat. Does the job properly.

Yesterday I had the privilege of bringing another sauna experience to The Brighton Icebergs at Dendy Beach.

I set up Middle Boris, my medium-sized Cossack Sauna tent, right in front of the beach boxes.

And setting up a on the sandbar while the tide was out… was one of the coolest locations ever.

For a few perfect hours, the bay gave us this little strip of land and the sauna sat there like its own tiny island — surrounded by water, fog, steam, and winter light.

There was no wind.
No swell.
No waves.
Just stillness.

The kind of stillness that makes you breathe a bit deeper and actually take in where you are.

The sunset was frosty and soft, wrapped in fog, with that muted Melbourne winter light that makes everything feel cinematic. Watching people move between the heat of the sauna and the icy bay, with the beach boxes behind them and the sky fading into dusk, felt genuinely special.

And yes, at one point we had more than 10 people inside a 6-person sauna tent, which felt less like recommended capacity and more like post-Soviet public transport energy.

There is something powerful in this rhythm — heat, cold, salt, breath, connection.

In a world where so much of life happens through screens, moments like this feel rare and important. Real people, real place, real presence.

Very grateful to the Brighton Icebergs for having me, and very grateful to be able to create and share experiences like this with the community.

Two weeks ago, 80 legends came down on a freezing Melbourne winter Solstice sunset and shared something that felt simple, honest, and deeply human.

It’s hard to explain properly, but the whole thing feels like therapy in the best sense of the word.

You can feel the week start to come off you.
You breathe deeper.
You get out of your head.
You feel more present.
More alive.

A huge thank you to Aspendale Life Saving Club for running such an incredible event and bringing everyone together.

There’s something about the whole mix that is hard to put into words, but easy to feel once you’re in it.

The heat.
The cold.
The walk across the sand.
The shock of the water.
The steam rising into the sea air.
The sky changing colour over the bay.

It all works on you at once.

And somewhere in that rhythm, the stress of the week starts to fall away.

The body softens.
The head clears.
The breath gets deeper.
You come back to yourself a bit.

That’s what felt so powerful about this event on Aspendale Beach.

That’s what the song I made in this video speaks to as well.

Let the salt wash it off.
Let the sea carry it out.
Let the heat loosen what the week has been holding.
Let the cold wake you back up.

It meant a lot to be part of it, and I’d love to do it again soon.

Today was a very special day.

For the solstice event at Aspendale Life Saving Club, I brought down three of my Cossack Sauna, and we had more than 80 people attend!

Honestly, it filled my cup.

Seeing people walk out smiling, glowing, a bit cooked, a bit frozen, and fully alive…
The energy today was bloody beautiful.

I loved seeing faces light up.
I loved hearing the laughs.
I loved watching people go from “yeah nah, this water looks freezing” to jumping in anyway, then marching straight back into the heat for another round.

And yes, I took great joy in doing my sacred job of pouring more water on the sauna rocks and turning the whole thing into a glorious Finnish-Ukrainian beach punishment chamber 😂

But genuinely… this is why I do it.

Most of my life is spent in front of screens.
AI, Websites. Ads. SEO. Marketing. Devices. Notifications. Tabs open like some kind of digital Soviet collapse.

We live in a time where technology makes us feel hooked and connected all day, but feeling more isolated than ever.
That part feels very real to me.

So being able to create something physical, grounding, and shared… something that brings people together in real life… means a lot.

There’s something different about this combination of sauna + cold salty ocean.

It’s not the same as a standard sauna and a swimming pool.
The bay has its own personality.
The cold water wakes you right up.
The salt, the wind, the darkness rolling in, the steam, the nervous laughter before people run in… it all becomes an experience.

It feels healing.
It feels honest.
It feels like community.

This whole sauna setup has been a long journey for me.

I’ve been refining these particular saunas for six or seven years, testing different combinations of tents and ovens, trying to get them properly hot while still keeping them portable and practical.

So to see them working exactly as they should, with a crowd like today’s, was deeply satisfying.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who came along and brought such great energy.

And a huge thank you, most of all, to Aspendale Life Saving Club for hosting the event and making it possible. Ben Pahl, Marty Whitney for spending most of your Sunday on duty!

Also, a big thank you to my very close neighbours who helped me set everything up and pack it all down. A lot of lifting, planning, hauling, heating, packing, unpacking, and general organised chaos.

Days like today make it worth every bit of effort.

I really hope everyone who came carries that feeling with them through tonight and gets an amazing sleep.

And I feel genuinely blessed to be able to share them with this community.

More photos and videos to come

Thank you, legends.
