Drift home on a cloud of bliss ✨

Contrast therapy is the ancient practice of using both hot and cold to induce a multitude of health benefits. Combining Phil's background as a certified breathwork facilitator and ice bath guide and Vicki’s certification in Sauna Mastery we’ve developed a truly unique contrast therapy workshop to help educate and immerse you in an unforgettable experience.

Breathwork

Guided blissful breathwork deepens the connection to self, sooths the nervous system and prepares us to enter contrast therapy grounded in purpose and intention.  Preparation of mind and body deepens the impact and starts us from a place of calm and balance.

Cold water immersion (Vasoconstriction)

Starting (and ending) on cold we teach you how to gently warm the blood and calm your breathing before entering the cold in a best safe practice way. We’ll teach you about timings = benefit and how the system works using the cold as a hermetic stressor to activate the deepest parts of your physiology for contrast with heat.

Sauna (Vasodilation)

Using the latest science from some of the worlds leading experts as well as our own training we’ll guide you through best practice and how to use the sauna to it’s full advantage while practicing contrast therapy. We aim to expel the myths around timings and temperature and maximise the wonderful benefits of sauna in contrast therapy.

The contrast connection

The most important element of contrast therapy is timing, temperature and how to glide between the two.

£50

The Snow Moon signifies endurance, patience and the quiet strength needed to get through Winter. Take this time in the sauna to stoke your inner fire and gather strength.

You will experience a scented sauna ritual and body scrubs with essential oils that support this full moon all set to the perfect soundtrack. Juice shots and herbal teas also included.

The Strawberry Moon 🌕 is one of the farthest full moons from the sun simply because Earth's orbit 🌍🌞 of the sun is slightly elliptical. That means there's a closest point and a farthest point in its orbit.

June's full moon, called the Strawberry Moon, will also be the first full moon of the summer. And because of how low the full moon will be positioned, it will appear larger than normal and may even appear to have a golden or orange tint 🧡

The 🍓🌕 is a powerful reminder that if you work toward something, your dreams 💫 can come true. As such, when it appears in the sky 🌌 , it'll light up your path and guide you toward positive growth and transformation 🙌

The Strawberry Moon 💛🍓 has to do with things coming into existence, or being illuminated ✨ It’s a time when people can see the fruits of their labor appear and they can gain deeper insight into how to achieve their goals.

June's full moon is in Sagittarius ♐️ while Jupiter is in Cancer ♋️ , which boosts our moods. It is also a good time to take stock of the blessings ✨ and abundance you have in your life while also slowing down and enjoying it all.

According to astrologer Popa, this month’s Strawberry Full Moon highlights the past while also looking toward one’s future. The Strawberry Moon is all about inviting people to reflect on how far they’ve come in their life and look forward to where they plan to go,” she shares. “This is a time to focus on all of your long-term plans and serious commitments.” ⚡️💥🔥
