Imagine entering a realm where steam dances with light, each room whispers a different story, and wellness is reinvented through the lens of futuristic technology.
That's the vision of Submersive, an innovative spa concept conceived by Corvas Brinkerhoff, co-founder of immersive arts giant Meow Wolf, according to fast company.
Brinkerhoff's next concept will reportedly land in Austin in a 25,000-square-foot sanctuary that is said to fuse the healing traditions of community baths with innovative art and artificial intelligence, creating a spa-like experience that transcends mere relaxation to offer a deep journey of mental and sensory rejuvenation.

Brinkerhoff's move from the fantastical installations of Meow Wolf to the introspective environment of Submersive is driven by his passion for using art and the environment to influence well-being. He was inspired during a visit to a Japanese-style bathhouse in Santa Fe, when she imagined a mix of immersive art with the relaxing elements of steam rooms, saunas and cold baths.
The concept has since evolved into a mission to harness neuroscience and artificial intelligence technology to evoke states of awe and euphoria, fundamentally improving how visitors experience and benefit from a spa environment. At its core, Submersive promises an odyssey of the senses, challenging conventional wellness spaces by integrating video projections, steam, lasers and artificial intelligence to create a transformative experience that transcends a visit to a conventional spa.
Submersive's owners aim to open its doors by 2026, with the full launch of the entire venue planned for 2028.
