On Campus Healing & Wholeness The Fundamentals of Longevity Breath, cold, and the science of healthy stress Samuel Whiting Rachel Lee See all presenters Learn Masterful Self-RegulationLongevity isn't a single hack. It's a handful of basics, practiced well and often, and breath and cold are two of the most powerful. Join Samuel Whiting and Rachel Lee for a weekend devoted to exploring the intersection of their practices, principles, and perspectives.Sam is a former elite athlete and certified Wim Hof Method instructor since 2017 who collaborates with WHOOP and UCLA Sports Medicine on cold-water immersion research. Rachel is the founder of Ice Bath Boston & Breath and a breathing specialist who has guided hundreds of people through nervous system regulation practices. Together they make the science clear and the practice approachable.Through guided breathing sessions, discussion, and Q&A, you'll explore breathing mechanics and hormesis, the idea that small, intentional doses of stress can help your system adapt. On Saturday afternoon, you'll prepare indoors with the science and best practices of cold exposure, then step into an outdoor ice bath together, always at your own pace. You'll leave with a simple daily practice you can take home.In this program, you'll experience:Guided breathing techniques, and the mechanics of why they workHow hormesis works and where intentional, healthy stress fits in daily lifeHow to prepare for, enter, and recover from cold water, safely and at your own paceHow to build breath and cold into a daily routine that fits your lifeA shared experience in community, from the ice bath to the Saturday campfireDesigned for all levels of experience, whether you're brand new or already practicing.NOTE: This program is designed for all levels of experience.
