Public Retreat

A few days where nothing needs you.

Public Retreat is a small retreat with no screens and no signal. You hand over your phone when you arrive, and the days open up: heat, cold water, time outside, and a notebook for whatever comes up when it gets quiet.

Locations

The experience

Simple by design.

There's no schedule to keep up with and nothing to check. Just a few good things, close together, with plenty of time between them.

Dry sauna

Heat that slows you down

Cold plunge

A quick way back into your body

The outdoors

Trails, trees and nowhere to be

A notebook

Yours to keep

Why we're building it
We wanted a place where switching off isn't a setting you have to find.
