Many years ago, I interviewed the legendary cold and breathwork guru Wim Hof (you can find those two episodes here and here). Now, I'm thrilled to announce an opportunity to join me for an unforgettable Wim Hof Method adventure this December 11th–15th in the stunning mountains of Germany.
Imagine diving deep into breathwork, cold exposure, mindset training, emotional healing, sweat lodge ceremonies, and much more while surrounded by nature's beauty. Joining me at the immersive Wim Hof retreat isn't just a four-day getaway in the majestic Bavarian Alps — it's a transformative experience you'll cherish for the rest of your life. For more details, you can click here an watch a video about the retreat here (and keep reading to get a taste of what’s to come in today's podcast with Michael Nuss and Maximilian Freiler, the hosts of Wim Hof Method Retreats in Germany, Austria, and Poland).
Michael Nuss is the author of the soon-to-be-released book, Alive: The Real Power of Ice Bathing. He discovered the life-changing power of the Wim Hof Method when grappling with depression and addiction. Using the power of ice, breathwork, and a newly formed mindset, he broke free from his old patterns, trained with Wim Hof, and is now one of the most active Wim Hof instructors in Europe, hosting around 20 retreats each year.
After experiencing a life-altering transformation through the Wim Hof Method, Maximilian Freiler also became one of the leading Wim Hof instructors in Europe. Shifting from a career in investment banking to a path of personal and spiritual development, his journey included training with the Austrian special forces, studying finance and behavioral psychology, and learning in person with people like Laird Hamilton, Ido Portal, and Wim Hof.
In this episode, Michael, Maximilian, and I will explore the scientific links between breathwork, CO2 tolerance, and enhanced cardiovascular function. You'll also get to delve into the remarkable benefits of cold therapy and hear personal narratives ranging from rigorous physical activities to ancient Native American rituals like the Sundance sweat lodge, revealing the profound impact of these practices on consciousness and connection. Michael and Maximilian will also discuss what you can expect at our upcoming retreat which blends ancient traditions with modern techniques to create a transformative experience.
