233. Breathwork, Ice Baths & Sauna Therapy with Robbie Bent

In most cultures around the world, alcohol is the focal point of almost all forms of entertainment. Sports games, comedy shows, concerts–you name it. It’s because alcohol is such an effective antidote to the social anxiety that plagues so many of us in our face-paced, densely populated, modern world. In an effort to break his own patterned use of alcohol and cocaine, Robbie Bent embarked on a ten day vipassana retreat in Israel, followed by multiple plant-medicine ceremonies, and returned home with a new lease on life. These experiences set the trajectory for him to begin helping others benefit in a similar, more accessible way with his own wellness company, Othership. In today’s episode, Robbie tells us how Othership has become an effective, healthy alternative to alcohol-fueled evenings, by providing a new form of entertainment where sauna, ice bath and breathwork are the centerpiece of a fun night out.
