Join us on this episode for an enlightening conversation with Emma O’Kelly, a seasoned freelance journalist, esteemed contributing editor at Wallpaper* magazine, and the brilliant mind behind the captivating book, “Sauna: The Power of Deep Heat.” The book is a beautifully illustrated guide to the world of sauna. It blends tradition and modernity, seamlessly integrating the importance of community, well-being, and the natural elements that lie at the heart of the age-old sauna tradition.
Emma tells us how the idea for the book was born and how she met photographer Maija Astikainen to collaborate with. She talks about the different sauna experiences they had whilst traveling together across 11 countries, and what it was like to do research for the book. We discuss the new wave of sauna culture spreading across the UK, the history behind the tradition and how it can benefit us both mentally and physically by providing a space of relaxation and connection to nature. This episode celebrates the sauna experience and the power of deep heat.
