Open to both residents and the public, Timbre’s weekly outdoor workshops invite guests to reset and reconnect through a blend of ancient global traditions and modern design.
Each session is a carefully curated journey: guests move from a Finnish sauna heated to 195 degrees to invigorating individual cold plunges and a heated thermal pool, all under the guidance of trained facilitators. The experience is further enhanced with multi-sensory Aufguss rituals—an immersive European sauna practice featuring essential-oil-infused steam, music, and performance—and guided breathwork designed to foster mindfulness and community.
Thoughtful details abound, from plush Slowtide robes and towels to Kettl tea and premium skincare by Grown Alchemist and Vermont-born Ursa Major. The ambiance draws inspiration from Japanese onsens and Nordic spas, reflecting founder Peter Russell’s global travels and passion for restorative bathing traditions.
Throughout human history, thermal retreats have had a predominant role in bringing communities together. From Roman baths and Finnish saunas to Middle Eastern hammams and Japanese onsens, all serve as spaces for both restoration and connection. Today’s wellness seekers are rediscovering the value of connecting in new, healthy ways and Timbre offers a modern gathering place inspired by this heritage.” said Peter Russell, Founder of Timbre.
Located on the waterfront at Gibson Point—a luxury apartment community just five miles from downtown Boston—Timbre’s residency underscores a growing movement toward holistic, wellness-driven living. Gibson Point itself is redefining residential amenities, with state-of-the-art wellness offerings, a 5,700-square-foot living roof, and direct access to Gibson Park’s outdoor recreation.
Workshops are priced at $65 per person, with special rates for residents, and advance registration is required. For those seeking balance, connection, and a new way to unwind by the water, Timbre offers a unique sanctuary blending tradition, innovation, and community—just minutes from the heart of Boston.
