The Float Collective is a not for profit organization
connecting new and existing float centres
It's also a Facebook group
If you are in the early stages of starting up a float centre, you are in luck! We have collected the best free resources and listed the links below. There are thousands of blog posts, research studies, hours upon hours of podcasts, years of videos from the Float Conference, consulting offerings and so much more! Cancel your plans, you're going to be busy for a while.
After you've devoured all that the open source internet has to offer, and developed a working knowledge of float tanks, send a request to join our Facebook group.
Resources for starting a float centre
Our goal is to help others start, run, & refine their own float centers. A place to share what we have learned, to help educate and raise the quality of float centers. We wish to be a guide and companion to have alongside you during all of your successes and failures; providing encouragement and guidance when you need it most, even at three in the morning when everyone else is asleep and you’re covered in salt.

The FTA supports ongoing research into the many benefits of floating and offers float centers, float system manufacturers, scientists and the floating community opportunities to contribute to the knowledge base.
Join Graham and Ashkahn as they answer your questions on starting, running, and growing your floatation business.

The Float Collective is designed for the following individuals:
-
Float tank and/or centre owners,
-
Float tank and/or centre operators,
-
Float tank manufacturers and float related businesses (sleazy sales pitches not welcome)
-
Up and coming Floatrepeneurs
When you request to join the group you will be asked questions about your background and interest in the Float Collective. If you don't match the above criteria, we're sorry, but these aren't the droids you're looking for.
For general float enthusiasm, we recommend: The Floating Community, FloatLove and The Float Tank pages.
This is a platform for sharing information and asking questions about the operation and facilitation of float tanks/centers. The intention is for only owners, managers and staff - or those in the process of becoming owners, managers or staff - of a float center to participate. It is not intended to be a general public interest group about floating. In sticking with this intention, we can keep the conversations focused on the float center operations and not on public inquiry about floating in general. Be sure to utilize the search function within the page as many topics have already been discussed at length.
Thanks, and stay salty!
