A sanctuary session at our Hidden Sanctuary includes guided movement, breathwork, meditation, cold plunging and saunas.

We generally offer solar breathwork - a form of intentional hyperventilation followed by a series of breath holds. This is an ancient technique that has been practiced in various forms all over the world. In recent decades it has been studied in depth by modern science so we can understand what is actually happening physiologically. And we know its health benefits - like nervous system health, toning the vagus nerve, increasing intermittent blood alkalinity, suppressing inflammatory proteins, and stimulating a flush of healthy hormones.

This is part of our daily practice. Its benefits increase over time. Never do this in water or while driving because it can be intense!

Join us for a sanctuary session in Long Beach soon. This sanctuary is for our community. We are here because we love Long Beach. Schedule your session, register for membership or call/text us!

Our 90-minute Sanctuary Sessions start with an optional breathwork practice guided by our expert facilitators.
This practice has been proven to cultivate mild respiratory alkalosis (alkalinity), reset the nervous system and lead to deep states of calm and clarity.
After the guided breathing, our facilitators are here to coach you through your cold plunge, offering tips and practices to develop top down influence of your nervous system so that you can use the cold shock to benefit your immune system, remove inflammation and so many more wonderful benefits.
After that, it’s sauna time. We recommend several rounds of sauna followed by cold plunges to maximize the health benefits and to just feel your best.
These practices have been used for thousands of years all over the world. And now science is starting to catch up by proving time and time again that these practices have incredible health benefits.
Come by the Hidden Sanctuary for session! Find the reset that your nervous system needs after dealing with this crazy world. 💙

Our Method
The Human Aeon Method combines breathwork, meditation, functional movement, and contrast therapy. These pillars are used to train the nervous system, increase stress tolerance, sharpen internal awareness, and build deliberate control over physiological and mental states.

Breathwork
Breathwork influences the nervous system through carbon dioxide tolerance and vagal signaling. This supports a shift out of chronic stress patterns and improves emotional regulation and focus.

Cold exposure
Cold exposure briefly activates the sympathetic nervous system, followed by a parasympathetic rebound. With repeated exposure, this is associated with improved stress tolerance, inflammation regulation, and mood stability.

Heat exposure
Heat exposure through sauna raises core temperature, increases circulation, and triggers heat shock proteins. These cellular responses are linked in population studies to cardiovascular health, recovery, and longevity.

Movement
Functional movement restores joint range, improves proprioception, and signals safety to the nervous system. This counteracts the rigidity created by prolonged sitting and sustained stress.

Meditation
Meditation trains attention and interoception. Over time, it alters how the brain responds to stress, reducing reactivity and supporting mental clarity rather than suppressing thought.

Garden environment
Time in natural environments is associated with lower cortisol, reduced blood pressure, and decreased mental fatigue. Even brief exposure can shift the nervous system toward a more regulated baseline.

Together, these practices work by training core physiological systems. The goal is not force or performance, but restoring the body’s capacity to regulate itself.

It’s Back! Our Annual New Year’s Day Polar Plunge ❄️

The Polar Plunge has roots in ancient Nordic traditions and early 20th-century swim clubs, evolving into a popular New Year’s Day ritual for health, resilience, and renewal.

We’re bringing that tradition back to Human Aeon — a community plunge to welcome the year with presence, courage, and clarity. Together, we’ll breathe, immerse, and reset for what’s ahead.

The Plunge: We’re adding ice again this year 🧊 — expect water temps around 40–45°F, icy enough to awaken every cell and remind you what it means to feel alive.

Join us Thursday, January 1 at 9:30 AM for our only session of the day!

Bring a towel, something warm for afterward, and start your year with intention.
