Sand & Sea: A Community Space for Connection by the Ocean

These monthly gatherings offer a welcoming space to slow down, connect with others, and spend intentional time by the ocean. You’re invited to walk, sit, reflect, or spend gentle time near the water — at your own pace.

Stonesteps, Encinitas, CA

First Sunday of the month at 11am

• What You’ll Gain:

• • Take a moment to reconnect — with yourself, the water, and community.

• • Experience a glimpse of Groundswell’s trauma-informed approach to healing through the ocean.

• • Be part of a growing community, gathering regularly to share space and connection.

This is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and let the ocean meet you where you are.

Sand & Sea is open to adults of all backgrounds and levels of comfort with the ocean.

Cost: Free to attend.

Sand & Sea gatherings are free to attend.

A suggested donation helps support Groundswell’s surf therapy programs and keep these gatherings accessible. Donations are always optional and never required.

If you’re interested in attending more Sand & Sea events, stop by Ocean Beach after work on the first Tuesday of each month.

Each location has its own facilitators and rhythm, while sharing the same intention: connection, embodiment, and shared experience.
