Details

Ocean Inspiration — A One-Day Nature Immersion Retreat You are invited into a day of gentle renewal, guided by ocean, light, and mindful presence. We gather in the early morning at Tacking Point Lighthouse, where the first sunrays warm the body and the vast horizon invites the mind to soften and open. Together, we orient toward mindful presence, allowing the rhythm of breath to meet the rhythm of sea. The inspiration of this place is immediate and elemental — majestic ocean views, salt air, and a cleansing breeze that seems to carry away the weight of everyday concerns. For those who feel called, there is time to paddle or swim, immersing in the healing waters and awakening vitality through movement and play. Our senses are gradually enlivened as we walk the rainforest path, descending toward a secluded beach. Here, time slows. Each participant is invited to find their own rock, a natural seat of stillness, to rest, breathe, and listen deeply. In this quiet communion with nature, we reconnect with the simple, abundant joy of being alive — grounded, present, and inspired by the ocean’s wisdom.
