Woodburning Sauna

Service Description

At Saint Michael’s Recovery and Retreat, our traditional wood-burning sauna offers a deeply restorative experience that blends nature, faith, and renewal. Heated by real wood, the sauna creates a pure, grounding warmth that invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with both body and spirit. Unlike electric saunas, the wood-burning heat produces a gentle, natural atmosphere filled with the comforting aroma of burning wood — a symbol of purification and transformation. As your body releases toxins through sweat, your mind finds stillness, and your soul is reminded of God’s quiet presence in simplicity and warmth.
