SAUNA LIKE A FINN. Authentic Finnish Sauna Evening - A Reset at SXSW

A rare, exclusive and authentic Finnish sauna & sound experience for deep recovery in the middle of SXSW. Very limited capacity.

​Step out of the noise of SXSW and into stillness.

Rooted in ancient Nordic forest wisdom Forest Spa_ Finland skincare products are available for pre- and post sauna skin care. Hydrate with Sauna Water, and snack with Finlandia Cheese. Enjoy authentic wood heated Finnish sauna with Harvia stove.

This experience is created in collaboration with Tampere, Finland - the Sauna Capital of the World, where sauna culture is a living everyday tradition and an essential part of wellbeing, recovery, and human connection.

About Audicin: Audicin is a Finnish neurowellness solution for sleep, recovery, and focus, built on neuroscience-informed brainwave-entraining music journeys. Rooted in Finland’s deep traditions of sound, silence, and nervous-system regulation, Audicin uses scientifically composed music combined with binaural beats and 360 audio to gently guide the brain into states that support deep rest, mental clarity, and physiological recovery. Each journey is designed to work with your nervous system helping you downshift from stress, enhance focus, or prepare the brain for restorative sleep. Audicin is available as an app and sleep headband.

About Ilmo: For over a decade, Ilmo Strömberg has pioneered the use of health technology to master the art of recovery. By tracking his own biomarkers daily, he has turned the "N=1" experiment into a science of peak performance.

​Today, Ilmo is applying these insights to a high-stakes mission: partnering with elite athlete and researcher Joel Naukkarinen for Olympic Gold in 2028. A 2024 Biohacker Summit speaker and Finnish media veteran, Ilmo bridges the gap between elite science and daily life. He shows how anyone can use the warmth of the sauna and the power of sound (Audicin) to switch off stress, recharge the mind, and perform at their best every day.

About Bathe: Bathe Austin is an urban sanctuary in East Austin where ancient bathing rituals meet modern wellness and community. This immersive bathhouse experience is designed to help you relax, recharge, and reset your nervous system amidst magnesium-rich thermal soaks, Finnish saunas, cold plunges, and serene lounges in a phone-free, connect-with-yourself environment.
