🔥BRING YOUR BATHING SUIT! River Birch Sauna owner, John, is going to fire up the sauna for anyone who wants to sweat. See you there! 🔥

See you there for friendship, networking & magic making!

Meet John Mitchell, the owner of ! 👋Prior to moving to Boone in May of 2022 John and his wife Nicole lived in the NC Triangle. John grew up in Western NY and Nicole is from Northern Maine. They decided to build their eventual retirement home in Boone and then decided to make the permanent move sooner than originally expected.

John spent 25 years in IT sales and decided for the last few years he wanted to do something completely different. John’s mother is from Finland so you could say sauna is in his blood. He was looking for a sauna for his home, which is what led him to discover the mobile sauna business. Mobile saunas are popular in the Upper Midwest but they are an entirely new experience for many Southerners. John shares, “Being able to help spread sauna culture in a part of the country where it's not practiced regularly has been personally rewarding.”

John’s mission is to grow the sauna and cold plunge culture in the High Country!

Are you ready to unlock your path to freedom?

Guests are invited to stay after the immersion for lunch (for purchase) and to hang out, network and continue dialoguing.

Where: The Art of Living Retreat Center, Dining Room Lounge
