Aufguss with Ben Pullen

Turn your sauna session into an experience! Discover Aufguss, a guided sauna ritual combining music, essential oils, breathwork and waves of heat. 60 minutes of guided Aufguss. Plus time after to hang out and chill. Enjoy three guided sauna rounds, followed by time to relax, cold plunge, enjoy a drink and hang out with others. Or head off whenever you’re ready! It’s completely up to you. Switch off from the busy week, let go of what’s weighing on you and reconnect with yourself and others. Aufguss is your midweek reset, with a little more energy, connection and aliveness than your usual sauna session. Led by your Gusmeister, Ben Pullen, each round takes you on a different journey. Sometimes calming, sometimes uplifting, always your own experience. How the evening runs: Arrive and set your intention with the group over a welcome warming heart tincture. Then three rounds of Aufguss, with time to cool down or take an optional cold plunge between each one. You choose how far you go. Take what you need, at your own pace, with no pressure to push beyond what feels right for you. You’ll leave feeling lighter, energised and clearer in your head. What people say: “It was a complete release.” “It brought me back to a special moment in Ibiza.” “I slept so well afterwards.” “It’s one of my favourite moments of the week.” Who it’s for: Whether you’re navigating a busy week, looking for a moment to reconnect with yourself, or simply curious to try something new, you’re welcome here. No sauna experience necessary. Come alone, bring a friend, meet new people. What to bring: Swimwear, a towel to sit on, a towel for showering, and water.

Your alternative night out.

On Friday nights, HotBox Social transforms into an immersive listening lounge with a completely different energy. Hi-fi sound fitted throughout lets you let go of the week and be in the present.

Live DJs and performers soundtrack the evening while you move between sauna, ice bath, and the lounge throughout the night. Your ticket includes a 60-minute social sauna and plunge. Arrive early and leave late, relax in the lounge and experience the whole set.

Come as you are or with friends. It is an alternative night out that feels good for the body and the mind.
