Description
About the Experience
BARE is clothing optional. Most guests are nude. Swimwear is welcome if you prefer it, and nudity here is treated as natural, neutral and non-sexual.
It is a guided Finnish sauna ritual and magnesium contrast pool session in the natural human form, now led start to finish by Sauna Master Amanda, the same master behind our Aufguss Tuesdays. Water infused with pure essential oils is poured over the hot stones, and Amanda moves the steam through the room with choreographed towel work set to music. It builds in rounds, with planned breaks to cool in the pools between each one.
A Global Wellness Norm
Clothing free sauna is standard practice in Finland, Germany, Austria, Japan and South Korea, built on hygiene, respect and shared social norms rather than anything provocative. BARE invites Australia into that tradition.

BARE Philosophy
This is not about performance. It is about feeling comfortable in your body, free from expectation or evaluation, and giving the mind a chance to slow down. Remove the layers and the external cues and attention returns inward. You arrive as you are.
Wellness Social Club is a third space, somewhere outside of home and work to reset and feel supported. BARE is a natural extension of that.
What to Bring
Towel (hire avialble on site)
Water bottle
Swimwear, if you would like the option

FAQs
- Will people be nude?
Yes. BARE is clothing optional and most guests are nude. Swimwear is allowed if that is what you are comfortable in.
- Do I have to be nude the entire time?
No. It is designed to be enjoyed in the natural form, but your comfort comes first. Use swimwear or a towel for as much of the session as you like.
- Is this sexual or provocative?
No. This is a non-sexual, body neutral experience with clear boundaries and a team on the floor the whole time.
- What if someone makes me feel uncomfortable?
Our team is present for the entire session. If anyone behaves in a way that makes another guest uncomfortable, they are asked to leave. No debate. No exceptions.
- Is this hygienic?
Yes. All guests shower thoroughly before entering the sauna or pools, towels are used when sitting in the sauna, and guests rinse between heat and cold. Standard practice in sauna cultures worldwide.
- Is this guided?
Yes. Amanda leads the whole session, including the towel work, the oil infusions and the breaks. This is a change from earlier BARE events, which were self-led.
- What is Aufguss, and how is this different?
Aufguss means infusion in German. A trained Sauna Master pours essential oil water over the hot stones and moves the steam through the room with towel work set to music. BARE is that same ritual run clothing optional, and Aufguss is the clothed version.
Both run on Tuesday nights, alternating fortnightly. One Tuesday is Aufguss, the next is BARE, and so on. Available dates are always listed on this page.
- I have never done anything like this before. Is that alright?
Yes, and a lot of the room will be in the same position. There is nothing to learn beforehand and nothing to do except sit down.
- What if it gets too hot?
Sit lower down where it is cooler, and step out whenever you want to. Nobody will mind and it will not disrupt the session.
- Why can I only buy one ticket at a time?
Each guest reads the BARE terms and completes their own waiver, which you cannot do on someone else's behalf. Send friends the link so they can book their own spot.
- Can I change to another date?
- Have a question about the event? Get in touch with us.
