This community sauna project has been shaped by you; the people who showed up, supported, and kept the heat going. It has grown into a pilot project located at Toronto’s Evergreen Brick Works, showing the real need for accessible public spaces to gather in nature as part of everyday life.

Experiences

  • Two women sitting in a wooden sauna, smiling and engaging in conversation, with a mountain view visible through the window.

Nice Words from Nice People

Operating Seasonally at
Evergreen Brick Works

We are grateful to call Evergreen Brick Works our home. As a social enterprise built on the belief that public space should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in a connection to nature, the Brick Works shares the same values that brought Kotisauna to life. Together, we believe that cities need more spaces to gather, slow down, and reconnect — and that the best way to prove it is to build one.
