The heart of the night

Warm fire. Brave water. Real connection.

The bonfire and couch lounge create a warm home base beside the wood-fired sauna and cold plunge—a place to eat, sip tea, tell stories, warm your hands and happy toes, and return between adventures.

A threshold walk through the longest nights

Winter Solstice Mandala Labyrinth

Our handmade, walkable Solstice labyrinth offers a winding path for reflection, release, intention, and return. Enter when the moment feels right. Move slowly, listen inward, and let the path hold the transition from the darkest season toward returning light.

Release + call forward

A Two-Part Solstice Intention Ritual

Release to the fire

What are you ready to let go?

Write what you are releasing on a burn-safe slip, take a pinch from the bowl of herbs, and offer both to the mature Yule fire.

Carry it with you

What are you calling forth?

Create a second written intention for what you are welcoming into the season ahead. This piece stays with you—a small Winter Promise to carry home and return to as the light grows.

Wood-Fired Sauna + Cold Water

Wood-fired warmth

Sauna

The sauna seats eight adults comfortably. Sessions are capped at 20 minutes, with most guests choosing 10–15 minutes before their next transition.

Choose your cold

Cold-Plunge Tubs

The cold-plunge area seats eight adults comfortably. Most guests stay in for approximately 30 seconds to one minute, always following their own body and boundaries.

Optional adventure

Pond Plunge

Guests who feel called may take the polar-bear plunge in the pond. The cold-plunge tubs remain available for anyone who prefers them.

Because this is an evening gathering, guests practicing contrast therapy are encouraged to finish their final round with heat. Cold exposure is always optional.

8:28 PM · beneath the moon

Dark Water commUnity Plunge

Do you have the courage to join us at 8:28 p.m. for a Dark Water commUnity plunge at the Full Cold Supermoon’s peak?

Gather at the water for one intentional shared moment beneath the moon. Participation is invited, never required; witnessing and holding warmth for the plungers is part of the commUnity, too.
