Presence in Heat: Gratitude Circles

Before the week begins again, pause. Release what no longer serves. Receive gratitude and clarity. Activate a new vision.

Presence in Heat: Gratitude Circles is a 2-hour Saturday morning retreat that weaves guided meditation, infrared heat, and mindful movement into one ceremonial reset. This is where One Mind Creations and HOTWORX come together — spirit and sweat, stillness and strength, grace and ground.

We gather in the infrared sauna for a 45-minute guided gratitude practice — a deeper journey into presence, release, and renewal. Then we move into Hot Yoga or Pilates in blocked private saunas, letting the body activate what the heart has received. The experience closes with space to journal, integrate, or simply rest.

This isn't just a workout. It's a recalibration. A chance to relate to your body, your week, and your life from a place of warmth and meaning.

The Flow!

Release — Guided Gratitude Practice in the Sauna

We begin together in the infrared heat with a guided meditation designed to help you soften, let go, and return to what's true. Hand on heart. Breath as prayer. Gratitude as the doorway back to peace.

Receive — Integration & Journaling

After the sauna, take a few moments to journal with a simple prompt, share one word in circle, or sit in quiet reflection. Let the practice land.

Activate — Workout in Infrared Saunas

Move into a blocked sauna for a virtually-guided Hot Yoga or Pilates session. Let your body express what your spirit has remembered. Gentle. Grounding. Intentional.

Close — Shower, reset, and carry this energy into your week.

About the Infrared Sauna

The HOTWORX sauna uses a patented infrared heater design that emits 95% far-infrared energy and 5% mid-range infrared. Far-infrared radiation penetrates the body up to 1.5 inches, stimulating cells into action and helping to detoxify and rejuvenate both body and mind. Unlike other forms of radiation, far-infrared is non-ionizing and has beneficial impacts with zero negative effects.

What You'll Leave With

A clearer mind. A softer heart. A body that feels held. And a vision for the week ahead that comes from peace, not pressure.

Safety & Care

Listen to your body. Hydrate before, during, and after. You can step out of the sauna at any time. This practice honors your pace, your boundaries, and your inner knowing.
