Hewing Hotel
A few years ago, soon-to-be Hewing Hotel co-owner Tim Dixon showed up in our backyard for an evening of sauna. We remember it clearly because he brought the firewood — a truckload of it. We had an epic sauna session at The Firehouse, culminating in Tim’s conviction to put a sauna on the rooftop of the hotel – and we committed to bring it to life once it launched.

We’ve been fortunate to partner with the hotel ever since, creating guided Thermaculture sessions featuring their unique rooftop, stadium-style sauna. Designed to host groups of 20+ for traditional thermic therapies such as Finnish Vihta Whisking, and German sauna steam and aromatherapy sessions known as Aufguss – the rooftop also features a heated pool, and an epic Minneapolis skyline not five blocks away.
In January 2020, Stokeyard Outfitters and the Hewing continue their partnership with Thermaculture Thursdays, Steam Medleys, Aufguss with Alex, and adding more guided experiences throughout the year.
