Creative Heat

Sweat. Connect. Create.

Where big ideas meet the warmth of the sauna. Creative Heat is a gathering space for entrepreneurs, artists, dreamers, and doers who want to bring visions to life in community. In the glow of the wood-burning sauna and the rush of a cold plunge, walls come down and inspiration rises.

This is not your typical networking event. This is a chance to brainstorm boldly, connect authentically, and explore meaningful collaborations in a natural, supportive and intimate setting. Whether you’re here to spark your next project, find a partner, or simply soak up the creative energy of others, Creative Heat is where momentum begins.

Join us in September & October:

We are hosting two 90-minute Creative Heat events, one each in September and October.

September 10th - 4:00pm - 5:30pm

October 1st - 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Pricing:

$20 per person, limited to a maximum of 6 people per event.

Location:

Community Steam + Pond Plunge sessions are tucked deep in the forest with that “Up North Michigan” feel, yet only 20-minutes from Grand Rapids and 5-minutes from Downtown Rockford. Sessions are held at the stunning Yurt at the event space located on the property at Detach Primitive.

Address: 11195 Summit Ave NE, Rockford, MI

Detach is a four-season retreat and educational center nestled amongst 50 acres of forest in Rockford, Michigan.

What to Expect:

Creative Heat is where the warmth of the sauna meets the spark of collaboration. This 90-minute session is designed for entrepreneurs, creatives, and visionaries to gather in a safe and inspiring space. Together, we’ll move through cycles of wood-fired sauna heat, refreshing cold plunges in the pond, and moments of connection that invite bold ideas to surface.

Between rounds, you can dip in the pond, stretch out in the outdoor lounge space, or share conversation in the yurt lounge. The natural setting at Detach Primitive creates the perfect backdrop for fresh thinking, meaningful connection, and that “aha” energy that only comes when you step outside the usual routine.

Changing areas, restrooms, and cozy lounge spaces are available for your comfort.
