What the day feels like

What the morning feels like

Over roughly two and a half hours the group moves at its own rhythm through warmth, cold and rest. The cycle of sauna and steam followed by a cold plunge sharpens the senses; restorative pauses in robes with tea and light refreshments—plus time alone or together in the Wellness Dome—frame the visit as a deliberately slow, private reset.
