Wild Sauna | An Author event with Emma O’Kelly | Thursday 29th May

To celebrate the publication of Emma O'Kelly's new book 'Wild Sauna' we are hosting not one but two nights at Chapter 34

Night one is Thursday 29th May and we are thrilled that a member of the founding team of Nomadic Sauna will be interviewing Emma. We will here about Emma's incredible journeys and interactions to discover the array of saunas across Britain. If you frequent Chapter 34 you will probably already have seen her first book 'Sauna' on the shelves or in the window.

The Nomadic Sauna | Emma will be interviewed by a member of team Nomadic on Thursday. The Nomadic Sauna team are Dan, Charlotte, Tess & Karn, they met randomly one morning on Patnem Beach, Goa in 2016 – after discovering they all lived in Shoreham-by-Sea back in the UK! When they returned home, they hung out on sauna dates and during one of sauna chats Dan & Charlotte mentioned they had enquired about putting a sauna on Kingston Beach, where Tess & Karn had lived for many years. Knowing Karn could lovingly build it, whilst the rest of them could run it, they decided to set up the saunas as a joint venture – and The Nomadic Sauna was born! Lucky us.
