The Friday Shift
Ready to Make the Shift?
If you're wondering what The Friday Shift is all about, it’s designed to be your weekly anchor for proper rest, reset, and community connection before the weekend rolls around. No two weeks are ever quite the same, blending everything from deep-heat sauna and aufguss sessions to workshops, skill shares, and relaxed local gatherings. It's all about trading the stress of the working week for a welcoming space where you can unplug, catch up with mates, and transition into your weekend feeling completely refreshed.
Below are some ideas of what to expect.
workshops
No two weeks are the same at The Friday Shift, with our rotating hands-on workshops offering a chance to dive into something entirely new. From crafting your own essential oil blends to traditional sauna hat felting, our sessions cover a wide array of creative and practical topics designed to spark your curiosity and teach you a craft to take home.
saunagus (aufguss)
Experience the ancient art of heat and aromatherapy with our immersive saunagus (aufguss) sessions. Led by trained masters, these rituals feature essential-oil infused water and ice thrown onto the hot rocks, with fan and towel-waving techniques used to circulate waves of intense, fragrant steam throughout the sauna to deeply relax your body and focus your mind.
sauna talks
Combine a fresh perspective with deep relaxation through our Sauna Talks, where we invite expert guest speakers to lead engaging discussions on wellness, movement, and lifestyle. Each session wraps up with a hot, restorative sauna to help you debrief, integrate what you’ve learned, and let the conversation sink in.
social soak
A relaxed, low-pressure evening designed for community bonding, making new mates, and unwinding together in good company. Whether it's a dedicated blokes' night, a queer evening, or a welcoming space to bring people together, these gatherings focus on easy conversation, shared downtime, and a collective reset in the heat.
