About this Sanctuary

Step into a vibrant and welcoming sauna experience at 612 Sauna Society, where tradition meets modernity in the heart of Minneapolis. This co-operative’s mobile sauna, affectionately known as 'The Forge,' offers a warm and inclusive atmosphere that is both invigorating and rejuvenating. Nestled in various cool spots across the Twin Cities, it provides an authentic wood-burning heat that fills the cedar-lined hot room with a cozy ambiance. Guests can bask in the comfort of two levels of cedar benches that seat 8-10 guests comfortably while savoring the natural scent of eucalyptus in the steam. The venue’s commitment to inclusivity and community is palpable, as evidenced by its diverse roster of residency hosts and partnerships with local organizations. For those seeking a unique sauna experience, this place delivers not just heat but also an enriching social experience that can be enjoyed monthly or through reservations.
