Project Title
Sweat It Out
Fiscal Year Awarded
2019
Grant or Program
Creative City Boston - Community Partner Grant
Grant Amount
$1,000

Sweat it Out offers free, wintertime public access to a beautiful, handmade, health-and-fire-code-approved mobile sauna which also acts as the site for and prelude to curated, community conflict resolution sessions. We bring the rejuvenating health benefits of sauna out of the spas and back to its community-strengthening origins, and then apply the well-being and camaraderie it generates towards resolving community tensions and disputes. Sweat it Out will base its initial offerings along Fort Point's beautiful, MBTA-accessible waterfront, where rapid real estate development presents immediate fodder for conversations about Boston's conflicted desires for growth and authentic local character.
