The Bog Sauna: Fire & Feast Weekend
A Ritual of Heat & Wildness
Experience the wider and wilder side of the Common Knowledge grounds by immersing yourself in The Bog Sauna. A restorative space for relaxation, community awakening and nature connection. Allowing for both quiet reflection and shared moments of warmth. Set in a secluded bogland location on site, the sauna is clad using storm-fallen steel roofing that would otherwise have been disposed of.
"Beautifully clad in storm-fallen steel, Common Knowledge’s Bog Sauna rests on wooden beams that give it the impression of floating on the land. Built in Spring 2025 by a team at the non-profit social enterprise’s 50-acre site in the Burren, every element of this sauna has been carefully considered to bring people in closer contact with the bog and the natural surroundings." - Irish Examiner
