Death, steam and finding your people

Our stories this week are about finding community.

Come with us to Death Club, a gathering of people in Traverse City who meet to talk about loss — and to find human connections and maybe even joy along the way.

We'll also preview Sauna Fest, which begins Feb. 28. The organizers say they're hoping to bring together an increasing number of sauna enthusiasts in our region and maybe even appeal to some skeptics.

Plus, spend a few moments learning from a local teacher who just brought home a top national honor.
