## Resource

Welcome to this special episode of Sauna Talk, recorded at the Culture of Bathing gathering in New York City, January 2025. This is a bit of a two-part conversation. We begin with a behind-the-scenes discussion featuring Adam of Thermë USA, who moderates a panel of public sauna operators from across North America. Together, they reflect on the gathering itself and the growing interest in sauna as a shared, public experience. From there, we move into the live panel discussion, recorded in front of an audience of nearly 100 attendees. Joining the conversation are: Annette, from Tampa Bay, Florida Kelly, from Hudson Valley, New York Stephanie, from Montreal, Quebec Each brings a unique perspective on what it takes to build, operate, and sustain public sauna in their respective regions. What emerges is a snapshot of a movement in progress. Public sauna in North America is still finding its footing—shaped by climate, culture, regulation, and community—but there's a clear and growing momentum. These are the voices helping define what that future looks like. From New York City, please enjoy this special episode of Sauna Talk.
