In this holistic surf experience, we gather to lift each other up and cultivate meaningful connection in and out of the water. In partnership with our friends at AquaSurf in Santa Monica, this session brings together a deeply supportive, heart-centered community experience where we explore the power of community—what it means to feel seen, supported, and like you truly belong.
The ocean is a shared space. In the lineup, we learn to move together—to read one another, to take turns, to offer encouragement, and to respect the rhythm of those around us. Like the diverse ecosystem beneath the surface, each of us enters the water with our own story, our own pace, our own way of being—and together, we learn how to coexist.
Through mindful intention and connection, we begin by grounding into the body and into the group—creating a space where you don’t have to perform or prove anything to be accepted. Then, we take that sense of shared presence into the water for an hour of surfing or boogie boarding, supported by the experienced team at AquaSurf.
There is something powerful about witnessing and being witnessed—about stepping into something new while held in the energy of others doing the same.
We close with restorative yoga and reflection on the sand, deepening connection not only to yourself, but to the women around you—leaving with a sense of sisterhood that extends beyond the shoreline.

Find Your Flow: Surf, Sisterhood, and Self-Care
Women’s Wellness Surf Days invite you to experience sanctuary by the sea—whether you’re a first-timer ready to find your stoke, a mother craving a little space to exhale, or someone navigating an experience of trauma or grief, this 2-hour session is intended for anyone looking to find healing in the waves. Through surf therapy, movement, and shared intention, we gather in sisterhood to reconnect with our bodies, our stories, and the wisdom of the waves. We’ll start with a mindful intention and movement to ground and awaken the body, then dive into an hour of expression in the ocean (boogie boarding or surfing), and finish with restorative yoga and reflection on the sand, leaving you feeling restored, connected, and renewed.
