Friends of CJSR

CJSR takes pride in supporting local, community business which contribute to the diversity, intrigue, and heart of Edmonton.

Friends of CJSR is our way of saying thank you for supporting independent radio, and to showcase our wonderful community’s businesses.

Made in partnership with Edmontonian merchants and Friends, The Friends of CJSR Card is an annual discount card launched during FunDrive, and created for the people who make CJSR possible: volunteers and donors!

Float House

We offer an experience of floating (aka sensory deprivation). The technical name for floating is restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST for short). Considering this name in the simplest terms, it basically means that distractions and stimulations from our environment are significantly reduced for therapeutic purposes. Sensory information from the environment - primarily light, sound, touch, and physically compensating for gravity, is controlled by the design of float tank or cabin (sometimes referred to as isolation tanks or chambers). Giving yourself seventy-five minutes of quality space free of such environmental and basic life distractions will benefit you in so many powerful ways to a point words do not suffice. Essentially, floating will allow you to drop into one of the deepest states of meditation, mindfulness, peace and rest that you will likely ever experience. From this point of deep meditation, the benefits you receive will be unique and specific to your life and existence in that exact moment. Every float - and I mean every single float - will be different as life and how we manage it are changing constantly. This likely does not make any sense, and that’s okay. What I am describing here is difficult to explain and comprehend in words. The benefits of floating can only be felt firsthand. First timer floaters with us will receive a thorough orientation into the experience. Book your first float by sending a text to 780.680.1337 and visit our website for more details.
