Towards a launch of the Charter at the International Sauna Congress in Norway
Published on September 14, 2026 by Sauna For All
We’ve been hard at work! Here's a quick update from the Sauna for All collective.
Behind the scenes, the Founding Stewards have been focused on the practical work of getting the website ready to launch and testing the Charter questionnaire with our initial signatories. This early testing is helping us make sure the process is clear, useful, and true to the spirit of the Charter.

First, a big thank you to Jason Wong for his continued support and contribution to the work. We’ve been developing new designs and illustrations, strengthening the visual identity of the movement, and continuing to build more grassroots connections across the sauna community.
We’re also grateful that ISC has offered space on the agenda during my already scheduled PhD talk to introduce the Charter and share a little more about where this work is heading.
Once the Charter is launched, the Founding Stewards will meet to develop an initial budget and set of priorities for how we can best support and advance the Charter principles in a good way. We look forward to your interests and ideas.
There is still lots to build, but we’re excited about the foundation taking shape.
Watch this space.

Hyviä löylyjä!
