headroom 02
An invite-only evening for a small group of investors, founders, operators paying close attention to what's coming next in social wellness, human performance, and nervous-system technology. Three experiences in one room: a longevity-minded meal from Locale, a live Olo spatial audio journey, and two hours in the largest outdoor sauna in the country. The kind of room where presence doesn't have to compete with performance.
About 40 people, invite only. You don't need to introduce yourself. By the time the sound finishes, the conversations land on their own.
Schedule:
4:30 PM | Doors Open — Settle in, leave the day at the door. Tea, lounge, grab a bite. Meet the room.
5:15 PM | What Comes After Optimization? — Technology helped us optimize ourselves. Now we’re asking a different question: how do we design environments that help people feel connected, grounded, and fully human?
Join the founders of Alchemy Springs and Olo for a conversation on the future of wellness, hospitality, and human experience, followed by the announcement of their partnership and a preview of a new category of immersive sensory experiences.
5:45 PM | Reset — Dessert while the room transforms for the sound journey.
6:00 PM | Sonic Immersion — A live Olo spatial audio journey. Let the sound do the work — high-resolution field recordings from remote ecosystems and spatially recorded instruments, three-dimensional sound that bypasses the analytical mind and speaks directly to the nervous system.
"I've spent my life trying to get to that place. Fifteen years of meditation. Plant medicine. Retreats. I lay down in the Olo Sound Journey and I was there within minutes. Massive coherence — the kind I've spent years working toward. No concept of time. The sound got me there faster than anything I've ever done." — Rob Corso, Head of Content, Eudēmonia
6:45 – 8:45 PM | Sauna Garden — Two hours of free-flow contrast therapy — two cold plunges, thermal benches, outdoor showers, fire pit, tea bar. Heat strips the protective layer from the way investors and operators usually talk. The conversations get honest fast.
You leave with headroom.

Olo space:
Olo's approach is built on a fundamental principle: clarity and agency cannot be sustainably accessed through willpower alone. True transformation requires a regulated nervous system capable of accessing all its response capabilities. The shift is from noise to coherence — and from coherence, everything else gets easier.

Alchemy Springs:
Alchemy Springs is the Fourth Space where health, human connection, and ritual coexist. Where wellness is social, not solitary. And where people come not just to recover, but to belong. Inspired by the great bathing cultures of Europe and Asia, we are not a gym, not a “sweat-and-go” spot, but a place for re-grounding, reflection, and real connection.
