January 6
World Float Day is an annual opportunity to celebrate our love of the Float and to encourage more people to try float therapy. Each year, we will come together on January 6 to express our passion and to educate those around us about floating!
What is Floating?
Float therapy, pioneered in the mid-20th century by neuroscientist John C. Lilly, involves effortlessly floating in warm, salt-enriched water in environments like pods, tanks, or pools. Evolving from a scientific experiment to a worldwide wellness movement, today it offers a tranquil escape, catering to modern needs for relaxation and mental clarity, all while ensuring a safe and adaptable space for everyone.

World Float Day is in honour of John C. Lilly (January 6, 1915 – September 30, 2001), an American physician, neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher, writer and inventor of floatation therapy.
“I feel that I am merely an agent, giving you some keys that have been given to me to pass on to you.
These keys are to unlock doors out of your present prison.
Doors opening onto new vistas.
Doors beyond where you are now.”
- John C. Lilly
