EQ Presents S2.24-25: Clouded

South Melbourne’s preventative wellbeing sanctuary EQ has officially launched Season 2: 24-25 Clouded, an experience that welcomes guests to immerse themselves in a holistic journey. Curated seasonally, EQ’s tailored journeys focus on self-reflection, the mind-body connection, and personal respite. Whether you’re already practising regular self-care or just beginning your journey, EQ supports all individuals.

When stress and overwhelm cloud your thoughts and your mind starts to race, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself. Season 2 of EQ  is designed to meet you exactly where you are; with [Restore] helping you achieve a state of calm and bring on a deep state of relaxation, and [Revive] to awaken your senses and bring a level of energy and revitalisation into your day.

Mia Basic, EQ Co-Founder and Director, has seen firsthand the rising challenges of mental health, stress, and anxiety in Australia. Those who embarked on Season 1 of EQ’s journey highlighted the growing prevalence of these issues.

“Over one-third of Season 1 guests reported feeling anxious or stressed every day or every second day. Many have also shared with EQ that stress is creeping into most aspects of their lives — work, relationships, and even their ability to unwind and sleep. Despite acknowledging the toll stress takes, finding practical and accessible tools to manage it daily can feel out of reach,” says Basic.

As part of the Season 2 launch, EQ Memberships will also be available so you can regularly invest in and prioritise wellbeing with exclusive discounts of up to 30% off. During Season 2 guests will have the opportunity to embark on two journeys; the Signature Journey we know and love, and the new addition of a Bathing Journey.

The 3-hour Signature Journey includes an educational theatre with inspiring short films, a light and sound therapy dome for a meditative experience, a breathwork zone for cycling through a series of guided breathwork techniques, and access to the hot and cold therapy zone with cold plunge pools, sauna, heated mineral spa, cold pail shower, and aroma steam room.

Additionally, guests who are limited with time can choose to embark on the new 90-minute Bathing Journey with access to the hot and cold therapy zone with cold plunge pools, sauna, heated mineral spa, cold pail shower, and aroma steam room.

“The goal is to position EQ as a resource that enhances the overall health and wellbeing of the modern individual, providing practical solutions for today’s demanding lifestyle. Season 2 aims to provide further education, understanding, and empowerment when it comes to our guest’s wellbeing,” says Basic.
