Octopia Sauna is a wood-fired sanctuary, handcrafted with rough-sawn hemlock and a hand-painted door, completed in January 2025. The sauna’s design incorporates an octopus theme, rich in symbolism. The octopus, known for its transformation, adaptability, and intelligence, symbolizes the flexibility needed to navigate life’s challenges. Its eight arms and recurring patterns represent infinity, cycles of renewal, and the continuous flow of energy. Together, these elements create a space for healing, stillness, rejuvenation, and connection. Octopia Sauna offers a serene retreat, inviting peace and wholeness to all who enter.
