Nothing here requires you to be fit, flexible, or good at being cold. Most people arrive fairly convinced they can't do it.
Breath & ice
Three rounds of guided breathing on the sand, then as long in the water as you want. Nobody is timed and nobody is watching.
Connected breath
Longer, slower, and considerably stranger. Things tend to surface. I stay with you the whole way and we take the landing gently.
For teams
A version that works in a meeting room with people in work clothes who did not choose to be there. Surprisingly, it lands the hardest.
Breathwork travels well and it goes with almost everything. Here's what I'm open to at the moment.
Festivals and events
A breath session at 8am is the best thing you can put on a festival schedule and I will argue about this. I bring everything except the ice.
Teams and companies
I come to your office and do it with people in work clothes who did not choose to be there. It lands harder than any retreat, precisely because nobody expects it to work.
Co-facilitating
Breath opens people up and then something else has to hold them. Sound, movement, a long yin, a circle. If that's your part, we should talk.
Covering classes
My weeks are full until the spring. Follow me and I'll say when that changes.
I started doing this because I couldn't sleep. A friend dragged me into the Atlantic in January and I slept nine hours that night for the first time in about two years.
I'm not interested in the endurance side of it, the how-long-can-you-stay-in competition. What I care about is the twenty minutes afterwards, when people are sitting on the sand looking a bit stunned and much lighter than when they arrived.
Where I trained
Where I'm facilitating, when the cold days are, and the occasional last-minute space on the beach.
