About
Join us for a Nervous System Reset using the tools of Meditation, Sauna & Cold Plunge.
This 3-hour journey combines the ancient practices of meditation, the soothing embrace of the sauna and an invigorating cold plunge in Blackstrap Lake. Guided by an experienced facilitator, you'll embark on a transformative exploration of self-awareness, relaxation, and renewal in order to regulate your nervous system to come back to a state of calm and flow.
You'll be encouraged to focus on your breath, allowing your body to release and let go of stresses, tensions and emotions the body is holding onto. This is a great practice to sink deeper into the body to surrender, slow down, receive and embody the present moment throughout your day.
Following the meditation practice, you'll have the opportunity to reflect and deepen even further in the body with relaxing in the wood-burning barrel sauna!
Then, you'll get a chance to cold plunge in Blackstrap Lake, allowing your nervous system to reset and recalibrate back to a state of regulation so that you're able to flow through life with more ease and grace!
