Exploring Culture Through Thermal Bathing: The Power of Place, Heat & Reflection

Alisa Cardenas, founder of Howl at the Moon Sauna Co. and Good Heat Retreats, joins us to talk all things sauna, community, and ritual. From mobile sauna sessions in the Michigan woods to a new retreat series launching in NYC, we explore how thermal bathing can transform travel as a way to deeply understand places, deepen connection, and inspire reflection. Alisa also shares her journey as a “saunapreneur”—the highs, the challenges, and what’s next.Media that Alisa is following:-Culture of Bathing substack- S.P.A. substack-The Perfect Sweat-The Sauna Channel-The Sauna Sirens at @sauna.sirens-Sauna Times podcastConnect with Alisa:Instagram:@howlatthemoonsaunaco@goodheatretreatsWebsites: howlatthemoonsaunaco.com discovergoodheat.com Edited by Lila WoodbridgeBadii offers passionate and curious bathers and spa-goers access to news, education, and recommendations about global bathing culture.
