Reset Your Nervous System – Regain Focus – Protect Your Brain  Experience The Restorative Power Of Sailing + Meditation

If you have stress in your life that impacts your thinking, emotions or physical body on a daily basis, your slowly reducing the brain and nervous systems capacity for recovery and ongoing vitality and health. The insidious thing about chronic stress is that it slowly erodes our cognitive functioning and physical health.  Your two very best protective activities for your brain and body longevity is some form of mental practice and getting outdoors.

Sailing is one of those experiences that offers both natural states of meditation and mindfulness,  and amplified benefits of nature, because of the ocean environment. It packs a two fold punch to your restoration and well-being. But most people don’t get to experience this first hand or in conditions that give us this expansive opportunity.

Our Meditation + Sailing Day Retreat delivers a profound physical and emotional reset and connection to natural states of meditation that empower us to heal and navigate life with less stress, greater self-awareness, clarity, and confidence. Our Retreat Day harnesses the synergistic healing power of nature through sailing and introduces you to instinctive, natural meditation practices to unveil our innate instincts and evolutionary predisposition for natural healing.

Nature plays a crucial role in human well-being, and a substantial body of scientific research supports this conclusion. Our sailing experience offers a full-immersion nature experience that amplifies the typical benefits of nature exposure plus adds its own unique benefits only found on the water. Our Retreat Day experiences are founded upon evidence based research. Sailing possesses an innate ability to anchor us in the present moment. It’s mindfulness in action.  

There are many reasons to meditate and cultivate mindfulness, ranging from managing stress and lowering blood pressure to enhancing cognitive function all the way to spiritual awakening. When sailing we enter a state of natural meditation, deepening our connection to the present and cultivating instinctive physical and emotional responses. The hypnotic rhythm of waves and wind offers us a profound sense of peace and mental clarity, further enhancing our body’s healing state. This state is referred to as blue mind. Combining these two potent experiences provides a profound reset and practices that are easily repeated.  

Discover your own natural instinctive ways towards states of deeper awareness and relaxation, reset your nervous system and rekindle your connection to joy. By combining meditation with the natural environment of sailing, we create an optimal setting for your body to engage its inherent healing capacities and foster emotional resilience, helping us navigate challenges and adversity with greater composure.

Everyone Meditates Naturally  – It’s Part Of Our Natural Defense Mechanism

Nurture Your Mind, Body And Soul

meditation and stress reductionEveryone has had a meditative experience naturally. We are wired by nature to respond to the natrual world to reset our nervous systems. This is termed biophilia. Stopping to enjoy a sunset, getting lost in the sound of ocean waves are all states of natural meditation. Our Instictive Meditation uses your bodies natural states to deepen your recovery from stress and enjoy the worls of your senses for natural recovery.

The idea of meditation may feel like just another thing to do, especially if you’ve tried it before and felt like you “failed”, while sailing may seem foreign and maybe a bit scary of you have not done it before. Our retreat days break open both these myths. You sail on our larger yachts so comfort and safety is guaranteed. You can learn as we sail or just enjoy the blissful time on board.
