SAFER SPACE

Wellness starts with self-care. Building community and sharing space within the saunas without distraction is very important to a lot of the people who come to Big Towel. We ask that you respect the importance that Big Towel holds to other people inside the sauna and surrounding public spaces by following a few guidelines:

First, we have zero tolerance for violence, sizeism, racism, sexism, transphobia or other discriminatory language or actions.

At Big Towel we ask you to minimize conversations inside the sauna to help us keep the space for people who want to steam their dreams into reality. If you wanna have a long chat with friends, we ask that you head to the public sitting areas outside of the sauna.

There is a fire pit, a water canteen, locker rooms, all-gender restrooms, showers, picnic tables and a grassy lawn pond side for everyone to share. If anyone or anything makes you feel unsafe while you’re inside the sauna, cold plunges, or sitting areas please look out for our sauna facilitators helping keep the heat up, steam rising and the overall sauna environment safer and enjoyable for all of our guests to indulge in wellness.

Please respect our sauna facilitators as they help us regulate our nervous systems. We all deserve safer spaces. Big towel centers a sauna experience that is rooted in being a communal resource for marginalized, femme, queer and local people to enjoy as leisure not elitism.

Steaming is our ancestral communal right. Sauna is an ancient communal bathing practice that fosters cultural tradition and well- being. We are here to make sure we all respect this ancient tradition of relaxation and leisure.

Thank you for helping us keep Big Towel safer, relaxing and fun for all people. Enjoy yourselves, make a new friend, make a wish in the cold plunge. Self and communal care is Big Towel energy!
