If you’re part of a substance use disorder treatment facility, or mental health program in Orange County, CA, and you’re on the lookout for fresh group ideas, I have a top recommendation for you—for free!

Consider Newport Coast, Crystal Cove, as an excellent spot for blue mind walks with clients. The “reef point” entrance, particularly during lower tides, offers opportunities to explore exposed rocks, reefs, and tide pools. This setting is perfect for experiential groups (focused on gratitude, letting go, or finding new sober hobbies), mindfulness exercises, and client exploration. Combining physical activity, exploration, mindfulness, and a closing group process can easily create a fulfilling 2-hour session. Suitable for most age groups and athletic abilities, it involves light-moderate activity for groups of all sizes.

With expertise in outdoor experiential activities, particularly surf therapy, I can help you diversify your group curriculum. Whether you need assistance with planning, training, or facilitation, feel free to reach out—I’ve been in the SUD treatment space for over a decade, specializing in Adventure Therapy since 2016.
