For thousands of years people have looked to the sea for spiritual renewal. The challenge is real and the rewards exhilarating. No previous sailing experience is required.
Sailing has an amazing capacity to put us in a place of deep connection with ourselves. The sailing itself, the intimate space, and the beautiful environment grounds a person in a way unlike any other. Many people find it a sublime and profound experience.
As you challenge yourself you will be supported by your hosts and fellow crewmembers. We are trained counsellors and we work in a supportive group setting to ensure that you get the most emotional and spiritual growth from this transformative experience.
As you grow and learn, you will experience breathtaking scenery as you cruise British Columbia’s magnificent coast. Whales, porpoises, and numerous bird species abound in our waters.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Before the trip you are given a handout and asked to review a series of questions and journal what you think and feel about them and what they bring up for you.
We meet aboard before departure to familiarize everyone with the vessel, share and discuss the above questions to start building a crew, a group of people that rely on each other and trust each other. We discuss and define group expectations/rules/boundaries.
Each day begins with mediatation and 30 minutes of journaling. We check in as a group before casting off or weighing anchor.
You are encouraged to ponder the questions on the handout as you help sail our vessel, a 36-foot Canadian Sailcraft sloop through the Gulf Islands. After dinner and evening journaling we have another meditation and group check in. We discuss the events of the day and whatever you wish to share from your journaling.
The sailing and the incredible scenery are both a backdrop and a powerful force for change. We work with everyone to help process the many feelings that emerge, facilitating the integration of your experience.
