Zen Garden

The Zen Garden is built around the rhythm of contrast—moving between heat, cold, and intentional rest. Each experience offers a different way to engage with that rhythm, whether you’re looking for structure, community, relaxation, or personal challenge.

True Nordic Cycle (Signature Experience)

The True Nordic Cycle is BrainWaves’ signature contrast therapy experience, inspired by traditional Nordic wellness practices. Guests move through repeated rounds of sauna, cold plunge, and recovery—allowing the body and mind to fully respond to the contrast.

This experience is not rushed. The power comes from the rhythm: heat, cold, rest, and repeat—creating a deep sense of clarity, calm, and physical reset.

Fire & Ice Club (Guided Group Experience)

A 2.5-hour guided contrast session designed to bring structure, energy, and community into the experience.

The Fire & Ice Club blends the intensity of contrast therapy with a shared group environment—making it both energizing and engaging. Ideal for those who enjoy guidance, accountability, and a more social atmosphere.

Fireside Social (75 Minutes)

A relaxed, social contrast experience centered around connection and recovery.

Guests move complimentaryly between sauna, cold plunge, and rest while enjoying the calming energy of the Zen Garden. This is a great option for those looking to unwind, reset, and enjoy the experience without a structured format.

Stoic Ritual (90 Minutes)

A more intentional, inward-focused experience built around discipline, breath, and resilience.

The Stoic Session encourages a quieter, more focused approach to contrast—ideal for those seeking mental clarity, emotional reset, and a deeper personal challenge.

Finnish Sauna

A traditional high-heat sauna designed to fully warm the body and prepare it for contrast. This is a more intense, authentic heat experience compared to infrared, allowing for deeper cycles within the Nordic rhythm.

Cold Plunge (Two outdoor cold plunges maintained at approximately 45°F and 50°F)

Our outdoor cold plunges are maintained at a colder range than our indoor contrast area, delivering a more invigorating and powerful cold exposure.

The colder temperatures create a more intense and invigorating contrast experience that many guests use for recovery, alertness and personal challenge.

Between rounds, relax in a hammock, gather around the fire table, stretch on the turf or simply sit and allow your body to recover. The Zen Garden provides several spaces to slow down between heat and cold exposure.
