30 Days of Cold: Mens Growth Pilgrimage

Highly recommend visiting the wellness den! The energy was fantastic! Tyrell our host was so attentive and knowledgeable and provided a very professional & high level experience! The perfect place to come get grounded and connect back to yourself. Looking forward to going back many more times!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a cold plunge hosted by Tyrell, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Tyrell's welcoming demeanor set the tone for an unforgettable adventure into the world of cold plunging, making it an experience that was not only invigorating but also enlightening.

Tyrell's genuine enthusiasm for the cold plunge was contagious, instantly putting us at ease and creating an environment of camaraderie among the group. The experience felt like an adventure shared with friends, rather than a mere activity.

One of Tyrell's standout qualities was his deep knowledge and passion for the subject matter. He took the time to share valuable insights into the science behind the cold plunge, explaining its physiological benefits and providing a thorough understanding of why this practice can be so transformative.

Tyrell's organizational skills were evident throughout the entire event. From the seamless check-in process to the thoughtfully arranged amenities, every detail was meticulously planned to enhance our overall experience.

As Tyrell guided us through the cold plunge, his encouragement and motivational words turned what could have been an intimidating experience into an empowering journey. Tyrell's ability to read the group dynamics and adapt his approach to cater to each individual's comfort level showcased his exceptional interpersonal skills.

If you're looking for a host who goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable and transformative cold plunge experience, Tyrell is the person to turn to. His passion for wellness and hospitality truly made him a wonderful host.

Such an incredible space. Tyrell is extremely knowledgeable and informative. He is the perfect blend of helpful, while giving you the space you need to discover yourself on this magical journey of cold water immersion. The Wellness Den is immaculately clean, with luxurious complimentary robes, towels, tea and kombucha. It’s a cozy oasis that leaves you feeling calm and refreshed. I have been twice now and looking forward to my return visits. Thank you Wellness Den for creating this special space. Can’t recommend this place enough do hesitate to book yourself a visit you will not regret!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! My first time doing a cold plunge or attending anything like this and it honestly surpassed my expectations. My group had a wonderful experience all around, zero complaints. I will most definitely be back. Also their kombucha is amazing!

To whoever reads this, the answer is yes. Sign up.
This was my first ever cold plunge and I am extremely satisfied with the team that ran it, the location, the cleanliness of the area and everything in-between. I truly valuable experience that I believe everyone should experience at least once. I will be attending several more sessions.

I have always felt resistant towards cold plunge therapy . My reasoning would be that it’s just too cold , my body can’t handle it .. truth is I have no excuse. I have all the resources and support, my parents have a cold plunge at their home - my mom has encouraged cold plunge and sauna therapy for years.

A month ago my mom had the best experience at the wellness den and since then she was insistent that we go together. Everyday for weeks I thought about this cold plunge ( I even bought a skims swim tshirt hoping that there would be a placebo effect and having more fabric would keep me warmer ) insane I know.

The experience I had I will never forget. The wellness Den is truly a healing place.
Tyrell is so knowledgeable and explained in detail the process of sauna/ cold plunge - beyond that he is truly a healer. As soon as he said the words “let go” tears started falling and I looked at my mom and said I don’t know why I’m crying. I realized that it’s not the cold that I’m resisting, it’s that I know how powerful cold plunge therapy is and that it could take me to a place of letting go of control , or potentially bring to the surface emotions and experiences that im holding onto. I explained I’ve spent many years healing I just don’t want to go there again. He facilitated the whole time spent, guided me through my first 3 minutes of my cold plunge. My mom and I spent 2.5 hours relaxing in the sauna , having tea, kombucha ,plunged .

I have been to several therapeutic and healing places but The Wellness Den is truly a special place I will never stop sharing. I haven’t felt this present and connected to self in some time, I didn’t record much but this was my final plunge of the night and a sliver of what the space has to offer.

After our time spent we shopped the essential oils that are offered in the sauna , candles and soaps made by Tyrell’s wife Natasha- owner of the rabbit hole wellness co. I highly recommend anyone make the time to experience the wellness den - I will definitely be back.

The cold plunge experience at the Wellness Den is a step above others! The welcoming energy of Tyrell and Natasha make you feel at home right away. Natasha made some cookies and Tyrell ran us through performance recovery to be our most optimal selves. I really enjoyed the 3 types of pools and Tyrells knowledge on the matter (which is vast!).

The workshop exceeded all expectations. The setting is breath-taking! My husband and I arrived to the beautiful 4-generation family farm, where Tyrell greets you and humbly explains the deep family history of working the land. He is a knowledgeable host in the cold plunge experience and creates a safe and relaxing environment to step out of your comfort zone.
We began with an incredibly helpful session before the cold plunge experience where Tyrell masterfully connected the physiological and the psychological elements involved in the cold plunge experience.
Once it was time to put those elements into practice, Tyrell transitioned seamlessly into creating a spa-like environment where we could move freely from cold pools to sauna at our own pace and in our own way. I was reminded how important our breathe is for our mindset and our state of well-being.
I wish this was a resource when I was pursuing university athletics a couple decades ago but I am sure glad I can access this now as I know it will have a positive impact in my marriage, parenting, and career.
Whether you are a cold plunge person or not- this is a must do! And the homemade cookies waiting for you in between the cold plunges are just what the doctor ordered ;)

I was first introduced to the concept of cold plunging in 2020, and over time, I've witnessed a growing body of scientific evidence supporting its legitimacy and effectiveness. Despite this knowledge, my fears prevented me from trying it out.

However, when I received an invitation to participate in an Optimal Performance Workshop, I took it as a sign from the universe to confront my fears head-on. Admittedly, I wasn't mentally prepared or fully committed to plunging into the cold water. The week leading up to the event was filled with overwhelming anxiety.

But everything changed the moment I arrived at the Wellness Den. Tyrell and Natasha have crafted a serene and welcoming space that exudes tranquility and a sense of community.

Tyrell skillfully guided us through the scientific explanations and rationales behind cold plunging, emphasizing the importance of intention and goal setting within the practice. As I absorbed his teachings, I noticed a remarkable shift within myself. My heart rate began to slow down, and the grip of anxiety and panic loosened its hold on me.

By delving deeper into the workshop, I discovered a newfound sense of calm and confidence. Tyrell's expertise and supportive environment allowed me to overcome my apprehensions and embrace the transformative power of cold plunging.

I conquered my fears and took the plunge, immersing myself in the cold water for over two minutes. Not only did I accomplish this feat once, but I went on to do it two more times! Since then, I've modified my daily schedule to include meditation and a cold shower. The mental clarity is undeniable, and truly optimizes my performance.

Yesterday I attended a fantastic workshop hosted by Tyrell Mara on his beautiful family farm.

During Covid I experienced anxiety issues which were crippling at times. My son (Devon) introduced me to breath work and cold water plunges to help. Over the past 3 years with his help I created a rhythm of meditating, breath work followed by a cold plunge every 2nd day.

In a very short period of time my anxiety was under control, general health and blood pressure much better also.

Taking part in Tyrell's workshop really helped me understand the "why" behind the science of cold plunges, hot sauna, breath work along with meditation. He taught me how to listen and understand my body and have a much deeper understanding why these techniques truly help me with my general health. I am 61 and wish I had learned what Tyrell taught 40 years ago. I highly recommend the work shop for everyone. I am going to introduce our executive team along with our extended family to this remarkable workshop.

Thanks so very much,
Nigel
