'Vitamin Sea' Wellbeing Workshop

(Delivering Via Zoom or Face to Face)

Saltwater Creations provides an interactive, real life story-telling workshop, about how the sea can help with positive mental and physical well-being.

In a surf themed workshop, a picture board of real life activities and fun interactive tasks brings the workshop alive and leaves the participants wanting to head straight to the beach!

The workshop includes a mini surf demo and the practice of mindfulness through pebble painting.  In face to face workshops each participant keeps their pebble to leave somewhere as an act of kindness and pass on positivity to others. In the zoom session participant will be guided how to source their own pebbles.

Please note: This workshop is based on a real life story of the unexpected death of a young person, and although presented with great sensitivity we are aware that some schools/organisations may wish to communicate this with the recipient’s pre- workshop participation.  This can be requested to be left out from the workshop.

'The way that Jules covered the topic of death was light, positive and tactful.  It made it easy to address the issues surrounding death without making anyone feel sad'. Ms West, EBS School, Bognor Regis
