rituals for connection

Private Events + Gatherings

We invite you into a space beyond the ordinary — where warmth, ritual, and intention meet. We co‑design an experience. Whether turning up to us or inviting the sauna out to your place, each event is crafted with care, context, and presence.

Rituals for Connection — Private Events + Gatherings

Gather differently. Host your intimate ceremony, ritual, creative gathering or wellness event with Elsewhere Sauna — a private sauna experience that holds space, alchemises heat & water, and honours connection.

One of the deep joy’s of this work is witnessing folks come together to care for, be present and embrace vulnerability alongside one another. Within this over-culture where individualism and separation have become the overarching custom, sauna is a discrete way to heal not only our bodies but some of these cultural, spiritual wounds.

Reach out we’d be happy to co-devise your vision.

We’ve held space for

  • Wedding preparations

  • Birthday & rite‑of‑passage gatherings

  • Mourning / grief / remembrance ceremonies

  • Creative art residencies + land‑based collaboration

  • Retreats, symposiums, and deep listening gatherings

We come fresh with bouquet whisks of wild medicinal plants.

We have an ongoing relationship with Spring Bay Mill trayapana/Triabunna where we sauna alongside retreats and conferences. We’re honoured to have partnered with Nayri Niara - Good Spirit Festival on Bruny Island and the Long House.

Elsewhere travelled to Marion Bay for Kirsha Kaechele’s (MONA) Forest Congress- alongside Yorta Yorta knowledge keeper Ruth Langford and Palawa elder Jim Everett puralia meenamatta where loggers and conservationists gathered around the fire, casting ice melt from Antarctica on to the stones, thinking with the stored information in this deep time liquid.

We will make it magico I promise.

The sauna welcomes bodies of all genders, shapes and ages to take refuge, relaxing in the heat and cold ocean to build nervous system tone with hermetic stress. Sometimes we think with sweaty concepts, as Sara Ahmed describes, a sweaty concept is “one that comes out of a description of a body that is not at home in the world,’ by this I mean we come into conversation around difficult topics, and remember how we are radically different and all so similar with our watery, leaky, more than human bodies.

Relax. We are here for you.
