“Combine the extremes and you will have the true centre”
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Embrace the heat, welcome the cold and experience the countless
benefits of journeying from one extreme to the other as we guide you
through this in depth, immersive course into how ancient exposure
practices can help unlock your deepest potential.
WHAT IS EXPOSURE TRAINING?
The therapeutic use of thermal exposure dates back as far as
historical records go. From hot springs to arctic plunges, sweat
lodges and back again, there are countless rites of passage, rituals,
ceremonies and healing practices that demonstrate the psychological
and physiological benefits of seeking out extremes in nature. There
seems to be an innate knowing within us, a longing, a need that pushes
us to seek out the stress that extreme fluctuations in temperature
brings as a way to grow and expand our potential.
The recent growth of interest in self engineered exposure practices
stems from rapid changes in our lifestyle and a new relation to
stress. For many, this opens up a fascinating discussion and the maze
of information out there.
- Why & When cold or heat exposure?
- What are the best practices and protocols?
- What counts as too little and is there such a thing as too much?
- How do I bring these practices into my daily routines?
- What temperature or time ranges are ideal?
- How do I make and measure progression in a safe way?
In this virtual deep dive, we've compiled the relevant sources for you
to deepen you understanding of human potential and either start or
expand your existing practices.
Combining decades of scientific research, ancient teachings and expert
advice from leaders in the field, this engaging, insightful and
invigorating masterclass encompasses everything from Tibetan
meditation techniques, Saudi royalty beauty rituals, NASA secrets for
longevity and more, to take you on a journey of exposure, both inside
and out.

The science part
We’ll discuss how our autonomic nervous systems work within
today’s modern world, the impact of inflammation, the science of
stress and brown fat activation as well as looking at the scientific
research behind exposure practices.
The practical session
Whilst the world was focused on reaching higher than ever before with
moon landings and space shuttles, Free-diver Enzo Maiorca & his rival
Jaqcues Mayol explored the inner worlds to dive deeper then any man
before them, and we're breaking records at astonishing rates. The
scientific world would take years to catch on to what they showed to
be not only possible for humans, but essential skills for us to
thrive.
ICE
Explore the edges of our physiology and learn tools to harness the
bodies natural drive towards balance. Using nothing more then a bucket
of ICE water we'll teach you to control your autonomic nervous system
and control your heart-rate in any situation.
// After the session you're invited for a virtual Cold Water Immersion
closing ceremony, be guided through an ICE bath protocol and put the
tools straight to use. //
BREATH
Exposure therapies or ‘thermal stress’ also serve as an excellent
training ground for building a more optimal stress response. Although
it may seem at times that the stresses of life can sometimes take your
breath away, here lie many opportunities to take back control over our
minds and bodies.
We'll explore how to breath before, during and after Cold & Heat
exposure and you'll take-away techniques and principles applicable to
all stressful situations.
