💥💥 Light sessions on Sat 8th Nov! 💥💥

We are excited to announce that the Roxiva RX1 light machine is back at Float in the Forest. 😍

These immersive journeys into beautiful imagery and blissful moods will take place at specific times on specific dates, like a gig.

The Roxiva RX1 light machine uses precisely controlled flickering light, in conjunction with carefully crafted stereo effects, to carry you gently and safely from your everyday waking state into amazing states of consciousness.

You are in control: just open your eyes to find yourself back in the room, calm and relaxed. Behind closed eyelids the light conjures beautiful visions, and stimulates feelings of wonder, clarity and peace.

Not only are transcendent light experiences now available again, but we have also enhanced and upgraded our setup...

🧡 Extended duration: 50 minute sessions, so you can travel even further into wonder and relaxation
🩷 Multiple passengers: now up to three people can experience a light session at the same time

Our dedicated therapy room now boasts three comfy mats (complete with head cushion, bolster, and blanket), so you and two other friends can embark on a journey with the light together. (See comments for pics of room set-up)

We also have three float pods, and the light sessions are timed so all three of you could do a light session immediately followed by a float – ah, bliss. 💙

The first of our new light events is taking place on Saturday 8th November 2025. We have carefully curated three programmes for you to choose from, with sessions at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. Tickets are limited to three per session.

Be sure to book in advance, and don’t miss your flight!

Now is an especially good time to become a float member! 😀

Floating regularly brings cumulative benefits, and membership will always be the best value way to float.

This is a great time because we've just introduced a new perk for our wonderful members...

Once a month we'll do a check of all memberships, and any member who has 0 or 1 float credits at that point will be entered into a prize draw. We'll draw one winner at random, and they will win a free shareable weekday float. So you could treat yourself to another relaxing float, or give it away if you're feeling generous! 💙

You become eligible for membership after you've floated with us at least once.

We're excited to be moving on to our sixth float journal! 🥰

Many people enjoy writing and drawing in the journal after their float, and these contributions make an incredible collection.

It's important to us that the journal itself is a beautiful item to inspire your creativity. The cover of this one depicts the 'Skybird' by artist Nadezhda Sokolova, originally using her unique style of batik painting on silk. This bird is a symbol of happiness, good health and fortune, and we love it! 😍

The new journal is going out in the relaxation lounge today... who will be the first to write (or draw) in it?

"What if I can't find the light button in the dark?" 🤔

You are in control of the pod light when you float. Of course you can leave it on if you wish, but we encourage you to experiment with the darkness. It's perfectly natural to be concerned about how to find the light button in the dark, but there's no need to worry.

Shari has a little tip to help you find it, so that you can choose to float in the dark knowing where it is. 💙

Did you know you can book your floats online? 😀

Of course if you are having any difficulties or would like to ask any questions, we'd love to hear from you during our opening hours.

We're looking forward to hosting your floats 💙

It's maintenance day! 😀 🔧

We generally hide most of the magic that goes on behind the scenes, as you don't need to worry about all that when you come here, your job is just to relax!

Having said that, here is a rare little insight including camels in the desert, and Will modelling a 1 micron filter... 😁

Why do we spend all our time running a float centre? 🤔 Great question!

Like all the best questions, this one made us stop and think for a moment. We always knew for ourselves why we set up Float in the Forest, why we love running the centre and introducing new people to floatation every day, but have we tried to put it into words?

We love floating, that much should be obvious. We've each gained a huge amount from it personally, and we wanted to share those benefits with others.

Skip forward through a fun exploratory process... and we have now distilled that passion, and written our Mission, Vision and Values! 💙
