Sauna + Dinner at Alchemy Springs
On Connection gathered at the beautiful sauna and local bathhouse Alchemy Springs for an evening focused on community and slowing down. The evening started with a group sauna session with an optional cold plunge. Tilden, our favorite non-alcoholic cocktail was served with refreshing light bites prior to our seated dinner.
Chef Madeline then served us a fabulous five course meal with wine paired by local winemaker Breaking Bread. A night full of nourishment, ease, and togetherness.
