The Tiny Sauna Talk is a sharing format that invites participants for a safe sauna session with voluntary discussions guided by a host in a performative manner.

All participants should agree with the following manifesto:

  • Together, we hold space with resting bodies that we may have never met before.

  • Together, we meet beyond labels and names, simply as bodies, sharing warmth and sweat.

  • Together, we create a space of acknowledgment and acceptance for EVERY-BODY.

  • Together, we hear that each person has different needs when using the sauna.

  • Together, we respect both the choice to cover up and the freedom of nudity.

  • Together, we become soft observers, present with ourselves and each other.

  • Together, we listen to our own rhythms, knowing we can enter and leave as we need.

  • Together, we hold space for discussion, to share, to listen, or simply to sit in silence.

Melting norms

Together, we will gently question what feels authentic about our bodies and what has been imposed upon us as standardized beauty. 

Let’s talk honestly and unfold what we find attractive or liberating and why. Let's track together what labels such as shaved or grown-out hair, a clenched abdomen and shallow breathing, small male hands, nipples visible through sheer fabric, a half-naked woman versus a half-naked man come from. What shapes these images we have internalized? Can we celebrate our bodies without squeezing them into the boxes that beauty norms dictate?

In a world where our bodies never seem exactly right, the sauna offers a rare, nonjudgmental shelter. A place for immersing in pure sensations, the heat of the skin, the glazing sweat, the surrender of melting muscles. Here, we exist beyond performance, beyond judgment, beyond seeking validation. How can we embrace that liberating "who gives a f***" mode from the sauna and take it out into the outside world? How can we carry the ease of simply being without forcing. Without cool outfits, makeup or deodorant, come and sweat till it washes off the scripts written on our bodies.

The meeting is led by dancer and performer Magdalena Malinová.
