Social Sauna + Cold Plunge Pop-up at Water Works Park

Empeiria (em-pir-ee-uh) is Des Moines first mobile, wood-fired sauna and cold plunge experience designed to be equal parts restorative and social. Book a 60-minute contrast therapy session and cycle between a traditional wood-fired sauna (up to 200 degrees F), cold plunge (around 50 degrees F), and intentional rest. Find us at Water Works Park - just south of the Lauridsen Amphitheater and Biergarten Wellness should feel alive and should encompass the whole person and their community. Reservations are now available for opening day at: https://empeiriasauna.com Guests are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early with their swimwear, towel and sandals. On-site amenities also include changing tents, lockers, a pull cord shower, and places to reset between rounds. Hosts will be available to guide guests through the process and ensure their experience is memorable. Empeiria is also available for private bookings, pop-ups, and community collaborations.
