Cold Plunge & Sauna
Sacred Rain Healing Center offers a traditional dry sauna that is always on and available for heat therapy. Spa-goers describe deeply therapeutic sauna sessions, often broken into intervals of approximately 30 minutes with breaks. The experience is defined by contrast therapy, complemented by a cold bucket shower located outdoors. Guests appreciate pulling the chain for a cold splash after the heat, a practice that helps them feel reset, revitalized, and promotes fresh circulation. The outdoor area includes this cooling shower alongside an in-ground hot tub for further thermal contrast.
Atmosphere
The spa provides a contemplative, non-sexualized, and safe environment designed for relaxation and release. The space includes an outdoor sun deck with loungers and an in-ground hot tub, as well as multiple indoor relaxation areas. These indoor sanctuaries feature cozy spaces with giant bean bags, comfortable couches, a selection of books and magazines, and hot tea, allowing guests to decompress fully. The environment is noted as being welcoming and comfortable for all, including queer and trans guests, fostering a sense of open-minded community.
