Sauna Master 101 - Introduction to global bathing arts - 1 Day Workshop

Are you ready to explore the art and tradition of sauna bathing?

Join Katie Bracher (Sauna Master UK) at Wild Spa Wowo (the UK’s only woodland sauna training centre), who has spent the past decade at the forefront of the UK’s emerging sauna scene. Through her work in sauna design, consultancy and training, she has helped shape projects, guide operators, and bring a deeper, more intentional bathing culture to life. Known for her passion and depth of knowledge, Katie blends traditional practices with modern experience design, drawing on global sauna cultures and ritual. Her work focuses not just on the sauna itself, but on the full journey, from heat to cold to rest, creating spaces that feel both grounded and transformative.

This one day workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn directly from her, exploring sauna rituals from around the world and gaining a deeper understanding of how to create meaningful, memorable sauna experiences.
