Second Sunday
Waves of Grief Sessions
Join us on the second Sunday of each month as we navigate the Waves of Grief and loss together, building connection and community and finding healing amongst the waves.
This is a community space held to normalize grief and find healing, in and around the ocean. All grief and grievers and all ocean experiences are welcome.
Waves of Grief is a donation based year-round Ocean + Surf Therapy program that allows for flow and meaningful connection supported by the ocean and hosted by our global Waves of Grief collective, a community of leading surf therapy practitioners, healers and humans working together to reduce the feelings of isolation and loneliness that accompany grief and loss. We are all connected by our love for the ocean - how being in, on, or around the water can be healing. Together we aim to foster meaningful connection, supported by the ocean. Bring your own gear to enjoy Mother Ocean how you feel best.
Together we gather in community to honor, share and witness personal and collective grief.
We start in circle on the sand, then invite everyone to engage with the ocean through watching, wading, swimming, boogie boarding or surfing, etc.

Coastal Conditions
We closely monitor localized weather forecasts so as to make the best decision about conditions before a session.
We honor your time and your experience healing, so rain normally does not inhibit us from gathering. We will, however, cancel or postpone if the conditions are unsafe. High wind, large waves, lightning, and hazardous runoff from recent rains are examples of unsafe conditions that make us decide to tend to self care and not force our will towards nature’s calling. If we do cancel or postpone we hope then that you spend time individually tending to your souls by honoring what we yearn for.
