WHAT TO EXPECT
Sustainability
There is power that comes with knowing the science of the ocean and how it moves, breathes and communicates.
From wave production, local habitat, understanding different ecosystems of plants, animals, mammals, and fish - we will cover one of the major components of ocean dynamics or ecosystems that will help us create a sustainable relationship with the ocean and how we impact it.
We will also cover sound choices we can make daily to positively save and charge the ocean and its inhabitants.
Experience
YOGA - With our yoga practice, we will explore the fluidity in our own body. With warming up our joints and increasing circulation, we will start to enhance our strength, mindfulness, breath and connection to self and nature.
In addition, we will explore poses throughout the day to connect, rebalance and enhance creativity and flow states.
MEDITATION – Using our senses, we will connect with nature in every way. Sounds, colours, and visualizations are only a few of the highlights our many ocean meditations to get you into the zone of Zen.
EXPERIENCE – During the winter months June – August we will embarking on a beach walk as our ocean experience.
Being near the ocean creates a connection and a charge of negative ions which speed up your ability to absorb oxygen and can help balance your serotonin levels, which leave you happy.
The beach walk will also help you ground, and feel relaxed which increases your innovation and creativity levels. Not to mention that we will be creating a ritual around our ocean experience to enhance our connection with self and nature.
Art
We'll be diving deep into your own expression and get out of our heads and into a creative flow.
Using paints, pastels, and other supplies we will create a piece of art that embodies and expresses what we have experienced during the day and is a piece of ourselves.
It’s a flowing time of creativity and expression that will leave you feeling free and connected to something more than yourself.
This Oceans Project inspirational day helps you to create a bond with the ocean, a stronger connection to the reflection of yourself, and a flow state to unleash your own creativity.
