Nestled in the heart of downtown Hood River is a labor of love hand built by a husband (Daniel) for his wife (Angelina) who has dedicated this quiet sanctuary to her son (Chris) who passed in 2021.
This quiet manmade sea salt cave offers a unique wellness experience for seekers of wellness benefits experienced and evidenced at European Salt Mines and by ocean shores.
An accidental World Record achieved as the largest 'bead' installtion built by a single individual (Daniel) in the shortest amount time (600 hours). We've nicknamed it 'a million touches'.
This is what it took for Daniel to meticulously hand-place each non-toxic packing bead on its walls, ceiling and as he created a seven-foot Cherub Wing which greets you as its guardian.
Daniel's gift for Angelina is for her to be enveloped with healing, hope, and deep rest. A private sanctuary she shares with seekers of unique wellness experiences absent noise and chaos.
The salt cave's stillness and dim lighting invites sensory exploration as bare feet and toes welcome the texture of 3000 pounds of Baja Gold Sea Salt to rake, meditate, and create a Salt Angel in before reclining to one's salty nap.
Enjoy the historically known benefits experienced in European salt mines and coastal beaches. Our walls are lined with sandstone and basalt rock to help regulate this microclimate while paying homage to the geology of the Columbia River Gorge.
The familiar benefits of halotherapy: reduced inflammation or pain when we gargle with salt water, skin benefits of an Epsom salt bath, the spray of saline in our sinuses for respiratory comfort. That 'happy feeling' we experience walking alongside the seashore while inhaling saltwater mist.
