07.11 | couple massage workshop
Think: a two-hour workshop to learn some basic techniques to give a fully dressed relaxing massage to your favourite person (it doesn't have to be your partner), plus an extra hour to enjoy the sauna & plunge.
You’ll learn simple yet effective techniques to relax, relieve tension, and build confidence in giving a great massage. No prior experience needed, just bring your curiosity and enjoy a fun, relaxing experience!
The perfect afternoon to learn something together.
14.11 | an evening of healing: sauna & reiki
Join Reiki Master Stephanie Hunter-Dines for a night of sauna and cold plunge, followed by a guided meditation and hands on Reiki healing. Utilising the sauna as an intentional tool for connection, we'll collectively soften our energy, allowing space for grounding and reflection.
After an hour in the sauna, we'll move into the cozy studio for a guided meditation and hands on Reiki. You'll be led towards your unique empowerment, by releasing energy no longer serving you. Stephanie will provide gentle support to the group, along with individual Reiki.
All are welcome. For those new or familiar, we tend to find Reiki exactly when we need it.
26.11 | altra running x arvo run club
We’ve teamed up with Altra for a very special edition of our run club.
This time, both of our run club leads Simon Reid, and Karina Patel are joining us.
You’ll have the chance to be running in Altra demo road shoes, so you can test a pair properly over 5k before you even think about buying. The Altra team will be at arvo from early on with shoes to try, plus everything you need to know about what makes them different.
Simon and Karina will lead a 5k at a nice, gentle 6:30/km pace, with warm-up and cool-down stretches. They’ll also be around to answer anything you want to ask about running technique, fuelling, hydration and more. While the altra team will be there to chat all things shoes.
Afterwards, it’s back to arvo for a sauna and cold plunge session to recover properly. Every runner also takes home a free Altra t-shirt, and we’ll have drinks and snacks to refuel.
Bag drop from 7pm at arvo
Run starts at 7:15pm
Sauna and plunge session: 8–9pm
Only 20 spots, so grab yours quickly
29.11 | core to coast: an Australian sauna ritual
An Australian guided sauna journey from the scents and sense of australia, from earth to rainforest to ocean, led by Kelly of @kellyssaunarituals. A concept close to our hearts, we’ll use scent, sound and heat to transport your senses down under for the evening.
We begin with the core of Australia, the earth, grounding ourselves in the heat and settling into the space. Then the sounds of the rainforest draw us together for traditional leaf whisking, with eucalyptus and aromatic steam filling the room. Finally we arrive at the ocean for a slower, salt-kissed finish, where the senses soften and we pause to enjoy the moment.
If you’ve spent time in Australia and miss the sounds of its birds, bush and coastline, this one is for you.
The ritual runs for 90 minutes. Afterwards, take 30 minutes to let it settle, either resting in the sauna space or over tea and ANZAC biscuits.
Kelly is an Australian sauna master based in South London. Her rituals are nature-led and built around connection, so they’re something you feel rather than just another sauna session.
Session begins: 4pm
A deeply restorative guided sauna session, with an intense pop of heat led by our very own Emma (@thelittlesaunamaster)

Please note: St John’s Wort is used in this ritual. (Not suitable for those breastfeeding or using prescription antidepressants - please refer to waiver)
The session lasts 75 minutes in total, including time to get changed.
INCLUDES: Aufguss. Traditional Finnish leaf whisking, Essential oils. Curated soundtrack. Sauna salt scrub. Juicy fruits.
Session starts: 7:30 and is for arvo members only.
11.11 | members only guided aufguss
13.11 | ancient signal: a sound bath with Alex
Taking inspiration from traditional sound therapy, Alex plays Tibetan and crystal bowls that each carry their own frequency signature, from the deep, warm, layered overtones of the Tibetan bowls to the clear, sustained tones of the crystal.
Beneath and between them he weaves emotive electronica, played live on purpose built software, with shifting textures, gentle pulses and carefully tuned frequencies.
Together they create a sound bath you feel as much as you hear, moving between ancient and contemporary and inviting you to slow down, settle and let the vibrations do the work.
Sauna: 7pm-8pm
Sound bath: 8pm-9pm
