About

our

foundation

On one acre in Downtown Denver, Coba is creating a modern bathhouse where everyday relaxation becomes part of community life.

Coba stands for something rare: the power of simply being. In a wellness world focused on optimizing, we invite softness, presence, and rhythm instead. This isn’t an escape from life but a way to integrate calm into it — a place to return to again and again, to restore, reconnect, and just be.

Our traveling bathhouse, Cobacita, and ongoing events offer a glimpse into what’s coming — a space built for restoration, connection, and ease.
