Notes From the Heat is an ongoing publication by RECESS, a social wellness club in Montréal.
Inside RECESS, people move through guided sauna and ice bath sessions every day. When breath slows and posture shifts — something often becomes clearer. They reflect. They write. They draw.
Some of those notes appear here, shared anonymously and kept as written. They are a record of what surfaces after heat and cold — when the body steadies, when presence lingers, and when something subtle but meaningful has shifted.
Small moments of presence within a busy urban life.
