Group Surf therapy 

Bring your group of friends, family or coworkers to learn about mental health and surfing, and practice tools that will improve your ability to surf the waves of the ocean and waves of emotion

Group structure is tailored to meet the groups specific needs but potential content includes:
​Group begins with a short meditation followed by a group discussion. Then we identify an intention or value to focus on while surfing together. Brief closing circle to identify takeaways and celebrate accomplishment.

Clients can expect to:​

• Connect with and receive support from fellow surfers and a licensed mental health therapist
• Learn and practice skills to improve your interpersonal interactions in and out of the water 
• Address surf and mental health challenges that you experience personally ​
• Join a supportive group of surfers who value growth and authenticity in the waves and back on land​​
• Learn about values based surfing and how to enjoy surfing in any conditions and without hyper focus on performance
• Learn about and experience the mental health benefits of flow state, time in nature, blue mind, physical activity and facing challenges
  

• Have the opportunity to ask for surf coaching and tips for beginner to intermediate longboard surfers
• ​Option to add video surf coaching available
