Some were there for surf therapy, others were there for facilitator training, but once again, we were all connected by a love for the ocean and a desire to learn how to help heal ourselves and others. We started the day with introductions and our first grounding circle, where we learned we wouldn’t know what we were doing each day until the morning (a both exhilarating and terrifying prospect for a planner such as myself)  and then headed out to the beach for our first exercise. Once again, there was something special about being able to learn about surf therapy with the sun on our faces and the gentle waves lapping the shore behind us as we embodied sea creatures, discussed blue and red mind theory, and collected items from the shore that spoke to us. After the first session we were told “go play in or around the ocean,” which was music to my ears.
