Saunaday: Aufguss Ritual

315 S Blount Street
Madison, WI 53703
OVERVIEW

We’re excited to welcome visiting Sauna Meister Nate Daubert for a special evening of Aufguss. This is a ticketed special event with very limited capacity, so early booking is recommended.

The Details:

  • We’re offering just one ticketed session. The session includes full bathhouse access and two unique Aufguss ceremonies. 

  • An Aufguss ritual is approximately 15-20 minutes, with time between rounds to move intentionally through cold plunge and rest before returning for the next ceremony.

  • Aufguss (pronounced OWF-gooss) is a traditional German sauna ritual where essential oil–infused water is poured over hot stones and a trained Sauna Meister directs the rising steam using precise towel technique. Modern Aufguss weaves together heat, aromatherapy, rhythmic air movement, and music — creating a choreographed, multi-round experience that is equally entertaining and immersive.

  • Nate is the first American fully certified as Sauna Meister by the Deutsche Sauna Akademie, bringing a foundation of rigorous sauna knowledge and technical mastery shaped by visiting more than 100 bathhouses across three continents.
