Pay What You Can

Providing Greater Access to Floating

No questions. No judgment. Just gratitude.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of floating. Our Pay What You Can (PWYC) initiative offers discounted 60-minute floats on the third Thursday of each month providing those in need with greater access to the benefits of floating. PWYC floaters may choose what to pay for their float on a sliding scale of $25, $35, or $45, with no strings attached.

Appointments are required. Pay What You Can discount is only available for 60-minute float sessions on PWYC days.

    All float suites support a sensory-relief environment with automated lighting, an interior tank light with on/off controls, soundproofing, and pristine water quality.

    Urth Tank (Downtown) - Our Urth Tank is our most traditional style of float tank with a hatch door, black lining, and about 3ft of overhead space.

    Float Pod (Polaris) - We have two float pods at our Polaris location. This tank resembles a clamshell with a large hatch that opens and closes for entry. The float pod has approximately 4ft of overhead space.
