Welcome to Sauna Synergy!

A collaborative effort to bring you a space for community and nature

immersed in deep and meaningful experiences. 

Multiple wood fired saunas, collaborations, workshops, music and movement for you to enjoy at this weekend campout retreat.  

Weather is Irrelevant! 

Spring can bring a wide range of weather potentialities, but our event is bad weather resistant. Sauna Synergy will be taking place outside AND within a large beautiful barn at the ranch.

Beyond the Basics- How to Detox Your Home 

With Braci Dutton

Most of us assume the products we use daily—our skincare, cleaning supplies, even baby products—are safe. But did you know the average woman applies over 500 chemicals to her body every day? Many of these ingredients are linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues, metabolic dysfunction, and even chronic disease.

Whether you’re just starting out or deep into the clean living journey, this workshop will give you clear, actionable steps to make non-toxic living simple, sustainable, and effective.

 

Movement Classes

Multiple yoga classes throughout the weekend, a joint mobilization workshop, and self care practices including learning Thai techniques for face relation.

Eden

A sanctuary within the flow of Sauna Synergy—a space where time slows, breath deepens, and the body softens into pure presence. Step inside the warmth of this bell tent, where frequency-based vibro-acoustic furniture, gentle sound journeys, and the simple act of stillness invite you to reset.

Here, you can disengage from the movement and merge with the moment. 

Sip warm tea, sink into resonance, or simply rest. 

Whether you stay for a few minutes or an hour, Eden holds you—a refuge of sound, sensation, and peace, waiting for you to arrive.

Your Eden hostess: Brandee Walton- Soul Path Alchemist

 

Healing Corner

Thai Massage Therapy Station- multiple therapists creating a healing oais right on site. 

 

Creation Station

A playscape for all ages to express their creativity through art, plant materials, and other physical creations.

Workshops 

10:30 am-12:30 pm The Womb Awakening Goddess Circle

The Womb Awakening Goddess Circle is a sacred, transformative experience designed to reconnect women with the profound wisdom and healing power of their wombs. This intimate and nurturing space offers a unique opportunity to explore your feminine essence, release deep-seated emotional and energetic blockages, and awaken your innate creative potential. In this class, you will embark on a journey to heal the deep-rooted wounds that many women carry—often unconsciously. These include the Mother Wound, which encompasses the pain and trauma inherited from our maternal lineage, and the Sister Wound, which reflects the competitive and divisive dynamics often present among women due to patriarchal conditioning.
Please note that even if you do not have a physical womb, you are still warmly welcomed in this circle. We all possess a spiritual womb space, a powerful energetic center of creation and intuition, which allows all of us to connect with divine feminine essence.

 

11-12 pm & 2-3 pm Sound & Sauna 

Sound Healing Sessions IN the sauna! Jennifer Gonzales will guide us through an ethereal space inside the sauna, utilizing a range of bowls and chimes. Sauna will be kept at “lower temps” for deep warmth, but not extreme heat. 

VERY limited tickets per session, and only available in the large Homestead Sauna.

 

1-4 pm Expressing Fire with Care

Anger is a powerful force—when suppressed, it can smolder beneath the surface; when unleashed without care, it can burn bridges. But what if anger could become a guide rather than a weapon? In this experiential Nonviolent Communication (NVC) workshop, you’ll learn to welcome your anger as a messenger, uncover the deeper needs beneath it, and express it in a way that fosters greater understanding.

 

4:30 pm Music with Jason Busniewski 

A fiddler and singer who performs and teaches multiethnic old-time music from the Upper Midwest, including plenty of Finnish American tunes that remind him of the saunas of his youth!

 

6-7 pm Dinner Break

 

7-8:30 pm Music with Shri Steep 

Shri's voice has been described as activating, unlocking, haunting and holy. She sings the songs of her own healing, and invites others into healing resonance through frequency of sound, source, soul and self. You can find her music on Spotify, although it hardly does her justice as live transmissions offer a resounding vibration.

8:30 - 10 pm Music with DJ Tink - Dance Music Experience 

So much more then an ecstatic dance experience. DJ Tink will guide you through a journey designed to meet you right where you are at, with her distinctive blend of house, electronic, and world music create an atmosphere primed for inquiry, somatic processing and play. Come ready to move, groove, and be playful. You can't do it wrong!
