Wishing for a new sort of wellness experience? Wilderness Union has created something different, authentic and impactful for you.

What to expect:
- Small-group sauna sessions
- An ice bath carved out of the private island’s frozen lake
- A comfortable hot-tent for blissful recovery
- An ice walk on the frozen lake and hike through the island's trails
- An offering of nourishing food and drinks to sustain your body for each circuit
- A suite of guided mindful exercise
