For more than a decade, FLOAT.Calm has been a sanctuary for inward stillness — a place to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with yourself.

Fire & Ice is the natural evolution of that practice. A Community Contrast Therapy and Vibroacoustic Lounge designed to ground and reconnect you with your senses. 

This space was designed as the yang to floating’s yin — a place for sensory engagement, gentle challenge, and resilience through contrast. Heat and cold. Stillness and stimulation. Community and quiet.

A self-guided, intentionally designed space where every path leads back to calm.

• Family-friendly bathing suit or sauna wear.

• A water bottle (no glass please)

• Clean sandals and robe if you prefer. (grippy socks provided, plush robes for rent)

• Optional reading or journaling materials

 Deep, long wavelength heat designed to support circulation, detoxification, relaxation, and nervous system down-regulation.

• Large enough for multiple people to lay down in. This custom 10–12 person medical grade infrared sauna is dreamy. Feel the deep penetrating heat from this all Canadian custom-made sauna. Most IR saunas contain components sourced overseas like the heating elements and wood. The wood from this sauna is sourced within 2 hours of the sawmill and the heaters in this sauna as ceramic melted right here at home and output wavelengths of energy similar to that you feel on a white sandy beach. Something we all need a bit more of.

Suggested use: 10–30 minutes

We have 3 zero-gravity vibroacoustic loungers combine vibration, heat, and high fidelity audio to stimulate the body and create movement in the cells.

• 15–20 minute sessions
• Designed for deep rest, focus, or integration

Light, analog activities that support presence, connection, and ease.

Yes, there’s a tree inside.
And yes — it’s also the shower.

From the beginning, we knew we wanted to bring nature indoors — a place to reconnect with natural elements in the middle of the city. A tree felt right. A rinse shower was essential. Something big and artificial didn’t.

Then the idea clicked: what if the tree is the shower?

This elm is local to the neighbourhood. It once lived just down the road outside Grant Park Mall, offering shade and shelter for years before being carefully reclaimed, kiln-dried, and installed by a local company that gives fallen elm trees a second life.

We like to imagine that the spirit of the elms once surrounding our building found its way inside — carried through the earth’s underground information network, the mycelial web — and rooted itself here instead.

It’s no longer living, but it brings life to the space. A grounding touchstone between heat and cold. A sensory pause. Water, wood, and contrast meeting in one moment.
