Opening day, November 14, is $20 a person. For any other day, it's $35 if you book by November 13 and $45 if you book after that.

90 minutes in a wood-fired sauna, three rounds at your own pace, cooling off outside between them.

What to expect

A session is 90 minutes in our wood-fired sauna, in the middle of Brackendale and ten minutes from the centre of Squamish. The room runs around 80 to 100 degrees.

Most people do three rounds at their own pace: time in the heat, then cooling off outside or under the cold shower, then back in. There’s no guide, so you set the pace. A bell at 75 minutes starts the wind-down, and the sauna closes at 90 to reset for the next group.

Social sessions are shared with up to 11 others, and voices stay low. Some are silent, and those are marked when you pick a time. A private session gives your group the whole sauna, up to 16 people.

Bring a towel, water, a swimsuit, sandals, a change of clothes and a robe. Phones stay out of the sauna. You must be 19 or older, and you’ll sign a waiver before your session.

Park on Government Road and come in through the side gate at the back of the garden, not the gallery’s front door. Arrive ten minutes early, or fifteen if it’s your first time.
