Trans Sauna Night and Lake Plunge - Minnesota
December 7, 2025 — 6:00 - 8:00pm CT
Last day to register: December 5th, 2025
Step into a custom-built, high-quality, wood-burning sauna and embark on a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation with trans people for trans people.
Crafted to provide an authentic Finnish sauna experience, this event in a mobile oasis is a unique opportunity to unwind and detoxify in a luxurious setting lakeside with a beach.
Enjoy our private group 75-minute escape from the everyday, complete with refreshing bottled water and plush towels. This will be a safe and affirming space for a personal wellness break or a special moment of self-care, where we can collectively indulge in a tranquil, health-enhancing experience that soothes both body and mind in these difficult times.
This event is limited to 8 participants and 2 volunteers, and is for trans people who desire a welcoming sauna environment where they can feel safe. This sauna is at a public park. Although we will have the sauna experience to ourselves, there may be other park users on the trails or in the parking lot. There is a beach and a lake available for cold plunges, and a fire pit for post-sauna community building and cooling down.
This event is intended for the Trans and Gender Expansive community and is for adults ages 18 and up. If you require a service dog to attend, please let us know and we’ll collaborate with you on how to keep you both comfortable and hydrated.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
