Wellness. A concept often reduced to performance, commodity, or aesthetic.
We see it differently.
Long before wellness had a name, there was heat, water, and movement. There was self-knowledge, ritual, and connection — to ourselves and to others.
To us, wellness is a right, not a luxury.
CUL DE SAC creates spaces that honor this lineage. Spaces for collective well-being — inclusive, accessible, and alive.
Wellness, as it’s always been.
Since November 2025, we’ve been hosting proof-of-concept pop ups transforming the city’s parks and plazas into open-air bathhouses.
12 editions and 1,500+ sauna sessions in, we’re now launching a Kickstarter to fund the next step towards a permanent space: a four-month winter residency.
36 hours and 6 days per week; New York City’s first outdoor community sauna.
Show your support by backing the campaign.
