SUMMER SOLSTICE GATHERING ☀️ // Celebrate the sun.

This is our 6th year of marking the Summer Solstice by gathering on the beach together.

This year our session falls one week after Solstice itself, as I'll be away in Ireland celebrating the wedding of a beautiful friend I met during my early years of building a new life here by the sea in Bournemouth.

Join me for a gentle summer morning on the beach as we honour the turning of the season together.

We'll begin with guided meditation, grounding beach yoga and intention setting through a simple "3 Wishes" practice around a sand mandala decorated with flowers, shells and seaweed gathered from nature.

We'll then share seasonal breakfast treats and herbal tea, with the option of a refreshing sea dip in the morning sun.

A chance to pause.

To reflect and meet like-minded people.

To appreciate the abundance already present in your life.

To connect with the sea, the season and a lovely community of people.

Saturday 27th June 9-11
Southbourne Beach, Hengistbury Head end
£22

Included:
• Grounding beach yoga
• Guided meditation + intention setting
• Sand mandala ritual + 3 Wishes practice
• Seasonal breakfast + herbal tea

I've definitely noticed a shift in energy.

The world feels lighter.
People feel softer.
Summer is slowly arriving 🌞 (even if the rain started today here in the UK!)

After a full few months of rebuilding, working and constantly thinking… I crave moments like this.

Quiet.
Stillness.
Space to breathe.
Space to hear myself again.

I used to think peace was something you found once life became, perfect or calm enough.

Now I think it’s something we choose in small moments.

A walk.
A pause.
Five minutes outside.
Watching the sea.
Putting the phone down.
Taking one deep breath.

Small things.

But they change the tone of a whole day.

A summer of connection + community 🌞

I feel like I’m flowing with the seasonal energy so much this year, and as the energy of summer has started building, so has my own energy too!

I love sharing the things that help me feel my best, and know how easy it can be for these things to quietly slip when life gets full.

Movement.
Breath.
Rest.
Community.
Time by the sea.

This is why I’ve shaped this summer the way I have.

And it's not around intensity.
But around rhythm and consistency.

Weekly classes.
Monthly gatherings.
Seasonal beach events.

Spaces to move, breathe, reconnect and actually feel part of something.

I grew up in Bournemouth, and have lived in Boscombe for over 10 years now, and both my dad and grandmother were born here too, so sharing these practices by the sea and within this community genuinely means a lot to me.

This carousel shares some of the ways you can join me through the summer months 🌞

Can't wait to see you soon.

SUMMER OFFERINGS ARE HERE ☀️ //
I’m so excited (and honestly relieved) to finally share this new rhythm with you.

Over the past few months I’ve been creating a more consistent way of showing up with classes, beach gatherings, workshops and community spaces for people to return to again and again.

Something more connected. More consistent, with more opportunities to meet.

A space to move, breathe, reconnect and be part of a community rhythm by the ocean and on the mat.

Look through to explore what’s coming this season.

✨ SUMMER CLASS PASS NOW AVAILABLE | 5 classes for £50 (May–Sept) ✨

I’ve been quieter here lately. I've not posted anything for a month 🌿

And not because nothing’s been happening… quite the opposite really!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been deep in planning, creating and gently building the next season of The Soulty Surfer.

Less rushing.
More intention.
More asking myself what I actually want this space to feel like.

And the answer keeps coming back to the same things…

rhythm, community, movement, the sea, nervous system support, softer living, meaningful connection.

This summer there’ll be:
- weekly classes
- community sea swims
- beach gatherings + rituals
- workshops + deeper experiences
- more opportunities to move, breathe and reconnect

I’ve also created a Summer Class Pass:
5 classes for £50 (May–Sept)
including weekly classes + selected beach sessions.

It feels good to finally start sharing all of this properly with you.

A softer, more connected season is coming.

And I can’t wait to share it all 🤍
