Dallas Movement Collective — Sunday Ecstatic Dance at Owenwood Farm
A barefoot, sober, consent-based free-form dance held in a converted neighborhood farm-and-church space, with no choreography and no steps to follow. The Sunday session opens with a live-DJ warm-up and intention circle, builds into an ecstatic dance journey, then lands everyone on the floor for a closing sound bath.
-
Sound Bath Dallas
A family-owned studio run by two sisters — one a licensed massage therapist, the other a Reiki master and certified sound-bath facilitator — who use gongs, singing-bowl sets, chimes and drums to lull you into a deep meditative state. They offer private sessions built specifically for couples or duos, with optional Reiki and gentle touch therapy.

The Famous Mineral Water Company / Crazy Water Bar
The Famous Mineral Water Company is the last surviving pavilion from Mineral Wells' early-1900s "crazy water" boom, when lithium-laced wells drew thousands of invalids seeking cures for madness and ailments; today you can still belly up to the bar and work through four numbered levels of the mineral water, each progressively more mineral-laden and strange-tasting. The original 1904 pavilion is still staffed by people who will walk you through the town's gloriously weird history between sips.
-
Crazy Water Bath House & Spa
A genuine revival of Mineral Wells' legendary wellness heritage: you soak in oxygen-microbubble-infused mineral water drawn from the same lithium-rich aquifer that made this small Texas town the "South's greatest health resort" in the 1920s, all in a quiet, historic bathhouse setting. The "Crazy Well" name itself came from a woman whose erratic behavior appeared to resolve after drinking the water — so the weird backstory is completely real.

Alive and Well - Frequency Dome
A curved sound-bath room with crystals and handwritten intentions embedded in its walls, where vibroacoustic therapy sends 30-120 Hz vibrations up through soft-touch mats during crystal-bowl sound baths.
