This guided winter retreat centers on cold exposure, heat, and nervous system regulation, bringing together a small group for three immersive days of intentional contrast, movement, rest, and connection in nature.
Throughout the weekend, guests are supported through sauna and cold immersion sessions, paired with practices that help build resilience without pushing into overwhelm.
