2026 - 6/20 2-5PM - BREATH.COLD.TRUTH.: WIM HOF METHOD EXPERIENCE @DRIP NORDIC SAUNA - ASHEVILLE, NC

You’ve heard the stories, seen the research, and scrolled past the “bro-science” all over social media. Now it’s time to experience the Wim Hof Method with the guidance of someone who’s truly lived it. Whether it’s your first ice bath or you’re looking to deepen your practice, this immersive workshop is designed to ground the Method in science, real-world application, and direct experience. Join Donato Helbling, Certified Advanced Wim Hof Method Instructor and founder of the Miami Ice Club, for his first public Asheville workshop after years of teaching globally and building a life rooted in these practices. What to expect: • A clear, no-BS look at the science behind breathwork and cold exposure • Guided Wim Hof Method breathwork and ice baths for all experience levels • Sauna time, community hang, and open Q&A with an experienced instructor • Practical tools for stress resilience, recovery, focus, and nervous system regulation Don’t just follow the trend (or avoid it entirely). Learn the craft. Spaces are limited to keep the experience personal and intentional. ABOUT DONATO HELBLING Donato Helbling is a teacher, personal coach, and public speaker who helps high achievers overcome burnout and the persistent feeling that "something is missing." With wit and humor, Donato teaches his clients how to maintain success and reclaim genuine well-being by doing less, not more. Drawing on over 25 years of experience as an engineer, entrepreneur, and professor of yoga, meditation, and martial arts, he developed the Integrative Living Model. This framework guides his ventures, including the Miami Ice Club—a community dedicated to resilience through breathwork and cold exposure—and Six Fields, a 50-acre wellness lodge in Fines Creek, NC. Today, he lives on his homestead in the woods, which he built with his own hands, embodying the same principles of presence, connection to nature, and grit that he teaches. As one of the first Certified Wim Hof Method Instructors in the U.S., Donato learned directly from Wim Hof before the method went global. Since 2018, he has guided over 7,500 people through breathwork and ice baths, building a "tropical mecca" for cold immersion in Miami and now bringing that expertise home to the mountains of North Carolina. Through his work, he offers a down-to-earth roadmap to a happy life—because, as he says, "success doesn’t matter if you’re dying inside."
