FAQS

There are also other cold exposure options and opportunities to participate in like a cold walk, cold sitting, and a childhood favorite-snow angels.
-
No. All activities are optional.

If you have any health concerns, talk to your doctor about taking an ice bath and doing super-ventilation breathing exercises. Finishing your showers with a 10-30 second period of cold or cooler water can help. Gaining the confidence and understanding that you and your body are capable of much more than you think, will certainly help your mindset.
-
The weekend is an opportunity to expand your understanding of your body and mind so being open and curious about new information will elevate your experience. Leaning into physical and mental resistance can facilitate breakthrough of limitations and beliefs that no longer serve you. Asking your facilitators any questions to address any concerns is also recommended.
-
It is important to wear something you will be comfortable in. This can include a swimsuit, short/long sleeve swim shirt, swim shorts, or leggings. You are welcome to wear a winter hat or neoprene gloves.
