About SAHTI ry
Student Sauna Association Lahti SAHTI ry was founded in December 2024 with a clear mission: to bring the authentic Finnish sauna experience to the student community in Lahti.
Our Story
SAHTI ry was born from a shared passion for sauna culture and the recognition that something was missing in student life at the Lahti campus - a dedicated space for relaxation, socialization, and embracing Finnish traditions. A group of enthusiastic students from LUT and LAB universities came together to create an organization that would fill this gap.
Our Mission
We aim to:
- Promote Finnish sauna culture among the student community
- Organize sauna events and social gatherings for students
- Create a relaxing environment where students can unwind and relieve stress
- Build connections between Finnish and international students through shared experiences
- Work towards establishing our own sauna facilities in Lahti
Our Vision
Our long-term vision is to construct and operate our own sauna facilities in Lahti. This space would serve as a gathering place for students to relax, socialize, and enjoy the traditional Finnish sauna experience in a welcoming environment.
Our Values
- Community: Creating a sense of belonging and togetherness
- Well-being: Promoting physical and mental health through sauna culture
- Inclusivity: Welcoming all students regardless of background or experience
- Sustainability: Respecting nature and adopting environmentally friendly practices
- Tradition: Honoring and sharing Finnish sauna traditions
