History of FLOATING
The First Float Tank
Lee & Glenn Perry
Commercial Use
Glenn and Lee Perry, inspired by Dr. John C. Lilly, founded the Samadhi Tank Company in 1972, pioneering one of the first commercial float centers in Beverly Hills. Their center, guided by Lilly’s work on sensory deprivation tanks, provided individuals with a unique and therapeutic experience. Offering sensory isolation in warm, buoyant water, the float center rapidly gained popularity for relaxation and stress relief. Beyond their commercial venture, the Perrys remained influential in the floatation community, contributing to the growth of this transformative practice. Their legacy includes board membership in the Float Tank Association and the book “Floating In Quiet Darkness.”
