Polar Plunge Nervous System Reset Retreat

Event Multiple date available
Time Various time slots

Cold and heat therapy work beautifully together. They help regulate your nervous system, improve circulation, flush the lymphatic system, and support emotional release. More than anything, they remind you what it feels like to slow down, breathe, and let your body lead the way.

This isn’t about pushing limits. It’s about learning to meet yourself — your breath, your reactions, your inner dialogue — with calm and curiosity.

This experience includes:

A grounding meditation to allow you to sink into your body and quiet your mind to witness your mind stories, allowing you to practice observing your thoughts.

Sauna in the wood-burning barrel sauna to kick-start the Nordic Cycle and fight/flight response, enabling thermoregulation and naturally releasing norepinephrine, a stress-reducing hormone, known to have lasting effects.

Ice Cold Plunge in Blackstrap Lake to further release norepinephrine, flushing your lymphatic system and increasing dopamine, the feel-good hormone.

Total duration: 3 hours

This Retreat is for you if you’re desiring an immersive experience in nature!

This Retreat is best for those who desire a guided outdoor adventure with all the equipment supplied, allowing you to show up and enjoy this experience with little planning!

Safety Considerations:

- To prevent hypothermia, limit immersion time to no more than 10 minutes.

- To manage the cold shock response, it’s advised to enter the water slowly, allowing your body to adjust to the temperature gradually.

- If you have an underlying heart condition, this experience is not recommended for you.

- As always, listen to your body during this experience.
