Did you know that hot water with high magnesium content counteracts cortisol increases from political conversations over the holidays? While we can’t scientifically prove that claim, magnesium is one of the higher mineral contents in our water at Desert Reef. Recuperate yourself with a post-holiday soak and step away from the internet by taking advantage of our 2 for $200 SPLASH PASS sale this Friday-Monday. This is is our biggest discount on soaking sessions and is available in-person only.

Our Dark Harvest event this weekend is all about recuperating and reviving the senses, and the food element of this event is truly prodigious. Culinary delights will be prepared by Chef Michael Diaz De Leon of Michelin Starred BRUTØ. Michael is one of only five Michelin Starred Chefs in Colorado and the only of Mexican origin.

We’re truly humbled to have Emmy Nominated Zach Cowie spinning vinyl for the Ballroom of Mars event next weekend. Zach’s musical alchemy will be the lulling thread tying the culinary and therapeutic experiences we’ve curated for this event. There still are limited tickets left on the events page of our website, link in bio.

Here’s the skinny on Zach via Pop Disciple:

“Zach Cowie, also known as Turquoise Wisdom, is an eclectic international DJ, avid record collector, and Emmy-nominated music supervisor, best known for his work on Master of None. Originally from Chicago, Zach got his start in the business by working at various record stores and independent labels, such as Touch and Go Records and Drag City. He transitioned into a tour manager for the likes of Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. Shifting gears, Zach explored the role of music supervisor and went on to set the musical tone of beloved films, such as Celeste and Jesse Forever and The Little Hours. In addition to his ongoing collaboration with Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang, he can be found on tour, performing all vinyl sets with notable actor, Elijah Wood and offering musical consultation for the avant-garde luxury brand, Rodarte.”

We’re sincerely grateful to .hifi for setting up this rare listening experience.

Soak under the stars while taking in the emotionally rich and cathartic sonic landscape of Midwife’s Heaven Metal and Allison Lorenzen’s ethereal darkwave dreampop on October 22nd. These charming and dreamy performers are an endearing reminder of the beauty humans can create.

Tickets are on the events page of our website.

Madeline Johnston is a self taught multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer, currently based in Southern New Mexico by way of Denver, Colorado, where she spent the last decade + developing her sound and focusing on her artistic community. Midwife began while Madeline was a resident of the beloved DIY space Rhinoceropolis in 2014. She has released three albums with The Flenser, most recently, Luminol (2021), which received National and International acclaim. On stage, Johnston is known for her sparse, emotionally charged experimental pop music that can silence a room. On record, she produces intricate and lush sonic environments in her own little corner of the heavy music scene. She describes her sound as "Heaven Metal," AKA emotional music about devastation: catharsis. Johnston writes primarily about grief, and the many faces it can inhabit.

Allison Lorenzen’s darkwave dreampop sound explores a minimalist approach to acutely felt noise-pop and aching slowcore. Brushed in deep strokes of lush synthesizers and gossamer vocals, her first solo album, Tender, was released by Whited Sepulchre Records in 2021 to critical praise from the likes of NPR, Spill Magazine, Austin Town Hall, and more. Tender was named Best New Album by Denver's Westword Magazine in 2022. Allison Lorenzen and Midwife's 2023 cover of Bush's 1994 alt-rock hit "Glycerine" received acclaim from many publications including NPR and Stereogum.

Bathing suits and pre-purchased tickets are required for this event. 18+.

We’re still basking in the splendor of Sound + Soak last weekend. The amalgamation of raptors, vibrant food, refined elixirs, rejuvenating sauna + cold plunge, and floating to mesmerizing tunes created such a transcendent experience. We’re grateful to all who came out and have a few special experiences in the works, so stay tuned.

As we look toward the cooler season, we want to be sure to remind folks that we’re committed to our core values of being a serene, quiet place to restore and recuperate. These warm weather events have been a lovely way to bring the community together to experience the mineral waters without diverging from who we are at our core essence.
