Around the world, people are rediscovering public sauna, both for their own wellbeing and for the life it brings to communities.
Sauna for All is a grassroots movement guiding this resurgence through shared values, evidence, and collaboration.
Our aim is for public sauna to grow as a trusted part of civic and cultural life, rooted in the common good.

Ten shared principles, shaped together by the people who build and run public sauna.
We connect operators, hosts, trainers, researchers, and stewards so no one has to build alone. Signatories can join our online community to share ideas and meet others doing this work.
Together, we help funders, cities, and policymakers see community sauna as something worth investing in and planning for well.
Guided by an international steering group
The founding stewards are practitioners, researchers, and community leaders who run, study, and champion public sauna in their own communities. Together, they care for the Charter, support signatories in keeping their commitments, and help build the shared knowledge and research that strengthen public sauna around the world.
With Special Thanks to Advisors
Many have carried the water
People across the sauna world have shared their knowledge and encouragement as the Charter took shape. We thank Sauna from Finland for welcoming this work at the World Sauna Forum, the International Sauna Congress for making room for it, and the grassroots organisers who have stepped forward as early signatories.
