Meditation + Sailing Day Retreats
Transformative Day Sailing Retreats
Our sailing retreats aren’t about mastering sailing or nature, they’re about mastering the moment. It’s an opportunity to explore the practice of mindfulness and meditation and how sailing and the ocean intersect to create these natural states of mindfulness and deep relaxation. The gentle rhythm of the waves and the vastness of the open water create an ideal setting for contemplation, self-reflection and touching the spirit of adventure.
If you think you don’t or can’t meditate, you most likely have experienced it, and you most certainly can! Resting in the delight of a sunset or skiing effortlessly down the slopes, and any flow state are all states of meditation. It’s a natural state for the body and one much needed for restoration from the stresses of life.
The quality of our daily lives is very much dependent upon our states of mind. In a world where days are filled with constant demands, stressors, and interruptions how does a mind full of constant chatter and a nervous system rooted in survival get to a place of calm and rest to make good choices?
Our Mediation and Sailing workshops are designed to introduce you to the profound healing qualities of the ocean and sailing and introduce you to ancient practices updated for the modern human to help you develop a practice that is natural to your body or strengthen your daily practices. Together, these experiences give you a total reset to your nervous system and a calming, mindful presence.

Wild As The Wind Writing + Sailing Day Retreat
Immerse yourself in a unique retreat that marries the thrill of sailing with the uninhibited creativity of Wild Heart Writing. In this day-long journey, you’ll reconnect with the natural world and your creative spirit, uncovering hidden stories, cherished memories, and deep insights that are waiting to be expressed.
Nature’s unpredictable beauty invites us to break away from routine thinking, opening doors to endless creativity and a profound connection to our true selves. The sensory experiences of the Bay—the gentle sounds, the stunning sights, and the invigorating salt-kissed air—act as powerful catalysts for new ideas and fresh perspectives.
Sailing brings you into the present moment, fostering mindfulness and attunement to your inner world. This heightened awareness leads to more authentic self-expression, allowing your writing to flow with greater depth and clarity.
As the wind propels a sailboat forward, so too can your creative energy move through the act of writing. By consciously embracing the muse, you’ll set sail into the creative unknown, navigating your thoughts and emotions with intention and grace. Join us for a day where the wind and your words become one, guiding you to new horizons of self-expression.

Creativity is intelligence having fun.
Albert Einstein
We are NOT your ordinary paint and sip. First off, you paint what you want, what is inside you wanting to get out. Choose your colors, choose your brushes, and start. When we allow ourselves to paint expressively, without rigid rules or expectations, something magical happens. The act of letting go and allowing our creativity to flow freely taps into our innermost emotions in a powerful way.
Expressive painting is more than just making art – it’s an outpouring of the heart and mind onto the canvas. As we let the brushstrokes, colors, and images emerge organically, we release all of the bottled up feelings, worries, and blocks we accumulate in our day-to-day lives.
We’re here to play, open the doorway to creativity, and make connections. Join our next event!
