“In the early years of Meow Wolf, along with finding incredible inspiration creating collaborative art installations, I was quietly developing a deep obsession with public bathing and contrast therapy.
I wondered if we could make immersive experiences that not only wow and entertain us, but that have potential to be truly therapeutic.
Submersive is the next chapter—an exploration of what’s possible when art, science, and human connection come together to transform lives.”
Isolation and disconnection have become defining features of the digital age
We need third-spaces to solve this, not just more technology. Wellness centers tend to be minimal, clinical, and disconnected. Immersive experiences tend to be focused on novelty, entertainment, and escapism.
We believe in creating spaces that harness the power of art, science, and technology to bring us into deeper connection with ourselves and the environments, communities and relationships we inhabit.
We’re on a mission to create full-sensory experiences that shift your mind and body.
Starting in Austin TX, we plan to create a worldwide network of Submersive locations, defining the industry of Immersive Wellness and causing a profound shift in health, balance, and perspective.
