🌘 Cascada Spa: Deep Autumn Edition 🌒
Join us for an afternoon-into-evening of depth and duality as we enjoy Cascada Thermal Springs and a group dinner. As the darkness of late autumn settles, we'll spend some time unwinding and engaging with the subtle shift in the season, replenishing our cups with conversation and quiet in equal measure...plus the herbal tea provided!
🫧 The Springs 🫧
We'll start our gathering in:
🌿 The Conservatory, the central pool area of the thermal springs. This space is an 82-degree tropical retreat with a warm pool, rare plants, and social lounging. Please arrive on time so you can join us at the pool by 4:15.
Once we take a moment to connect there, we'll migrate to:
☀️ The Secret Garden, an outdoor haven with hot pools, sauna, rainfall walk, and fire circle. Here we can chat around the fire and enjoy the sauna and hot pool as the sun sets (4:40pm).
As the moment takes us, we'll split into smaller groups, pairs, or go off on our own to explore:
🌑 The Sanctuary, an underground thermal springs — a silent space with mineral-rich pools, cold plunge, sauna, steam and ice. In the dim peacefulness of this space, we can reflect internally.
Over the course of our three-hour time slot, we'll sit together and apart, meet in passing or find small nooks to talk, and eventually make our way back out of the Springs to prepare for an exquisite dinner.
🍲 Evening Bites 🍲
Our soak time ends at 7pm. We’ll gather for a group dinner date at Cascada’s acclaimed restaurant, Terra Mae. Our reservation is for 7:15pm, so if you need additional time to refresh post-soak, plan accordingly! There is no dress code, but I encourage you to bring something to wear that makes you feel special or powerful.
Dinner will likely last til 9pm or even a little later, as we linger over lovely drinks, beautiful dishes, and priceless companionship.
🎟 How to Join 🎟
Cost: $100 per person (includes a 3-hour spa visit). Reservable through this link. Please book the 4PM slot. (There are limited spots per entry time, so if 4PM is full, you may want to try 3:30PM and just start a bit earlier.) After you’ve made your reservation, then register here on Luma.
🛎 Tips for a Great Time 🛎
👣 Cascada provides small standard towels and flip flops. Consider bringing anything that would make you more comfortable, including a larger towel that can double as a blanket in the chilly outdoor air.
📱 Prepare to leave your phone in the locker room. It is nearby and easy to access, and will make it easier for you to move from space to space with just yourself and your towel!
💭 We'll have a few conversation starters on the theme of darkness and light. Think about: How are you feeling in this season of early darkness? As we enter the colder months, how are you preparing to embrace the darkness — or resist it? What are some negative words or ideas you associate with darkness? What are some positives? What lights — or keeps ablaze — the candle of your soul?
