Sauna Sessions | DAY 1 | Climate Carnival 2026

Two hour exclusive sauna session as part of Climate Carnival 2026. Expert talks, wild swimming, mocktails and light lunch. Only 50 tickets! Day 1 is about immersion and connection - before the big room, before the big ideas, we explore the systems within ourselves. START the day on a field trip. A two-hour sauna session for 50 people. Strip back, leave the ego at the door and reconnect - with the landscape, with each other, with what actually matters. Expert talks from an ecologist (Ken Whelan), landscape historian (Clair McDonald) and wild swimming adventurer (Daragh Morgan) - tracing how the River Stradbally has been shaped by farming, colonialism and community, and how it has shaped it back. All while you recharge in a traditional outdoor sauna and take the plunge - literally - into the river itself. Drinks and lunch included. • Strip back, systems forward. Sauna. River. Three experts tracing how farming, colonialism, community shaped the River Stradbally - and how it shaped it back. Strip your ego at the door. Recharge your mind in the landscape. • Before the big room. Two hours in a traditional outdoor sauna, one plunge in the river, three expert talks. No ego. No small talk. Just the story of a river shaping - and shaped by - the systems we live in. • Turn inward first. Fifty people. One sauna. One river. One landscape historian, one ecologist, one wild swimmer - all tracing how the River Stradbally's history is the history of farming, colonialism, community, resilience. • Leave ego at the door. Sauna. River. Talks from Ken Whelan, Clair McDonald and Daragh Morgan on how the River Stradbally remembers what the land and people do to it. Drinks and lunch included. Recharge before Day 2.
