INSPIRATION, BEAUTIFICATION & RENOVATION
Through inspiration days , hospital visits and the beautification of under resourced places of healing and education , we deliver a health tonic of pride, hope and inspiration to those who need it most.
SAILING THERAPY & BLUE MIND HEALING
Our aim is to use the exposure to SAILING and WATER as a means to facilitate healing (both mental and physical), as well as to enhance wellbeing and quality of life.
We believe our Sailing Therapy experiences and programs play a key role in helping kids who are compromised either health or socio-economically wise, to overcome their physical and mental hardships.
Studies have shown that similar types of activity, have resulted in the improvement in motor skills and coordination, self-confidence, independence, identity formation, focus, and pride through accomplishment.
We use sailing, the growth mindset and the exposure to the ocean and water , to show that the benefits of this therapeutic and recreational rehabilitative activity, can offer all of the above as well as the experience of adventure, mobility, optimism and freedom.
