How is Good Heat Different?
A Good Heat Retreat isn’t your typical retreat. It’s an immersive experience centered around modern and ancient thermal bathing practices. Our retreats are rooted deeply in place and provide space for real connection made possible through shared sensory experiences. We use heat, cold, and rest as tools for renewal and expansion. Whether you’re just getting into the world of contrast therapy, sauna or thermal bathing, or you’ve already built your life around hot-cold rituals, you’ll feel at home here.
