This is not a spa.
It’s a practice. A return. A shared rhythm of heat and cold, of breath and stillness. Here, the simple act of stepping into the river becomes something sacred.

We create the container, stoke the fire, and set the tone.
Every session is an invitation to arrive fully and leave a little lighter.
You’ll never step in the same river twice.
The water is always moving and so are you. Come cool your body and awaken something deeper.

Sauna at the River
I love the water because everything is slower and softer. It forces you to be present with the small things. And the cold water.. it simply makes me feel alive.

Info
What is Guss?
Yes, it’s a sauna, but not just any sauna. This is your reset button. Each session invites you into a rhythm: warm up in the wood-fired heat, cool off in the river (or crisp air), and repeat. Bring a friend or come solo and meet likeminded people. You book ahead, show up, and drop into flow at your own pace.
Where is it?
On the river. Most days we'll be at Sellwood Riverfront Park parked closest to the dock or Willamette Park by the boat ramp and dock. Some evenings we'll be at Duality Brewing. When you go to book your session, be sure to check the location that is listed with the time you are selecting!
