Artful Rules
Our mission is all about holding space for genuine care and human connection. In order to make this a reality, we’re inspired by Priya Parker’s approach to creating Artful Rules.
“Often, we think about preventing things from going wrong, but artful gatherers design rules that make things go right. ”
According to Priya, artful rules protect what is precious, are shared at the threshold before anyone even enters, and are enforced (and reinforced) over time. In the spirit of this guidance, we’ve began compiling our Saunaday House Rules—take a peek, and let us know what you think. 🧡
By visiting Saunaday you are agreeing to the following Code of Conduct:
01. Take care of our community. Be mindful of other guests' comfort. Refrain from any inappropriate and intimate behavior, and maintain personal space. In the spirit of community we do not restrict conversations among friends outside of our Quiet Mornings, which are from 7am-12pm on weekdays. That said, please be aware of the overall vibe during a given session and adjust your interactions accordingly.
02. Embrace the time offline. To preserve tranquility and privacy, tech is only allowed in the reception and retail space, as well as in our private suites.
03. Hydrate your beautiful self. Drink ample water before, during, and after your Saunaday. As always, listen to your body. If you feel unwell, immediately seek assistance from a member of our team.
04. Wear swimear. Saunaday is an all-gender communal bathhouse. If you forget your swimsuit (it happens), we may have options available for purchase.
05. Mind the time. Be considerate of others waiting, especially for our higher demand amenities, and rotate through the spaces as needed. Please also mind check-in and check-out times. If you miss your check-out time, we may need to charge for the next session.
06. Wash your spirit (and body) clean. We request that all guests shower before and after use of saunas, steam saunas, and cold plunge. This not only helps you physically and psychically rinse away toxins, dirt, and odors, it also helps us maintain the highest level of cleanliness and quality.
07. Pack light. Outside food, beverages, towels, and bathing products are not permitted. Apart from your water bottle, please leave all personal items in your locker. We will provide everything necessary for your bathhouse experience. Should you want to enhance your session, please see our retail space for a wide selection of bathing products and refreshments carefully selected for safe and effective use in the bathhouse.
08. Care for our communal spaces. We strive to maintain a beautiful healing environment for all. Please handle our shared amenities and equipment with care, including dropping towels in the laundry after use, and wiping down wet or sweaty benches and chairs.
We’re stating the obvious here, but our community is literally the most important thing. We reserve the right to ban any guests who disregard our community rules, or exhibit any aggressive, disrespectful, or unsafe behavior towards other guests or our employees. If you feel unsafe for any reason, please tell a guest services attendant.
