Last weekend a dream became reality. We hosted the OG’s of sauna universe - 60+ Finn’s & friends coming for a taste of our löyly.

4 hours were not enough so we steamed on for a bit longer. So so cool that we could offer you all a feeling of home.

Big hearts full of steam coming from the polder. We are stoked to make this a seasonal gathering.

Comment HOME if you’d like to join the next one.

You know what we need more nowadays? Love and kindness. Especially since all the evil people are going full force nowadays, we definitely need more kindness and we need to spread the love.

Have you met the floating sauna on Sloterplas?

This amazing sauna floats with your good deeds, yes! It floats with actions from the heart, and it is called WARM HEARTS! 🥺

When I met these amazing people, I was subletting an apartment luckily facing the Sloterplas, and one day I saw a cute floating house on the lake!

I immediately rushed to meet them, and I was amazed by the idea and the community. Although that was my first time in my life trying a sauna, I love it. Super calming, helps a lot especially if you are lil’ anxious and panicky person like me 🙋🏻‍♀️

Since then, I’ve been skippering there.

You can contribute to the earth with your good deeds. Or if you wanna book a private sauna session with your friends, you’re more than welcome ❤️

Grab a friend, force them to be a better person, and come try the sauna out! OR, if you love to be a skipper, come volunteer with us!

And thanks to Liam for some of the footage.

We had our monthly volunteer hangout this past Sunday and it was a great time. Alongside enjoying West African food by Clavenda, we did a meditation session and played some games together. Clavenda was also selected as the Warm Hearter of the Month and Louis as the Skipper of the Month.
Community, shared values, doing stuff together, learning things together and (of course) enjoying sauna. These are what Warm Hearts is all about ❤️‍🔥 Join our WhatsApp Volunteer Group for announcements (link in bio), and if you’re curious, send us a message or become a Sauna Skipper and sail the Sloterplas on the floating sauna!

This is the work at the heart of Root to Rise™.

Not just helping you build something meaningful…

But helping you become the kind of leader who can sustain it.

If You See Yourself in This…
Don’t just watch these as stories.

Notice where they reflect you.

Where you’re overholding.
Where you’re exhausted.
Where you’re playing small.
Where you know.. something needs to shift.

Because it’s not a question of whether you’re capable.

It’s a question of whether the way you’re currently leading… is actually working for you.

And if it’s not..

You don’t need to keep doing it the same way.

Hello 2026

A new year is here, and we’re really excited about what’s ahead.

In 2026, Badhus continues to grow - with new locations, more sauna masters, hosts, and volunteers, and new ways to gather around heat, water, and good company.

We’ll keep doing what we love most: creating sauna experiences that feel intentional, low-key, and genuinely welcoming.
Spaces where people can slow down, connect, and simply be.

Thinking about making sauna and cold plunging part of your 2026 routine?
Now’s a great moment to join the club - enjoy 20% off memberships for the first 3 months when you sign up before January 14.

January is already shaping up to be a good one: Sauna Master training, Queer Sauna Club, Sauna Like a Finn, and more to come.

Here’s to this beautiful community 💛
See you in the heat.

XOXO,
team badhus

Happy 1-year birthday, Warm Hearts ❤️‍🔥🥳

Funny enough, even though we built a sauna, it was never about the sauna. It’s always been about the people and the connection our sauna is able to facilitate.

With the efforts of 150 warm-hearted volunteers and 50 skippers, we’ve hosted 476 good doers in our sauna!! We get to hear what good deeds guests have done to make the world a better place, and how strangers have became friends in the sauna. How volunteers have built confidence after many years of loneliness. Community around Warm Hearts has become a home for many new and old Amsterdammers.

Hip Hip Hurraah Warm Hearts, and the impact we’ve made — just in a year ❤️ We’re so proud!
