Most companies that offer you opportunities to be out on the water have been created by people who have loved the adrenaline of white water, so the focus of their offering is always influenced by challenge, getting somewhere, and outcomes.
In contrast, this offering is being created with a focus on the extraordinary calming and healing qualities experienced through simply being on the water.
Getting out into 'blue spaces' is so good for our health - our mental health, our physical health, and raising our spirits, so for those who don't have the confidence, capability or kit to venture out on their own, we're looking to create opportunities.
Relaxing, playing, pottering along, immersed in the rhythms, sounds and energies of the natural world, it's so soothing.
For many people the busy-ness of modern lives has had us lose touch with anything more than superficial relaxation, so you're likely awe and value experienced when you really get to wind down.
It might take a while, but if you can get there, accessing the experience of tranquility, is truly extraordinary.
It's like a portal, calming your nervous system and opening a cascade of ease and flourishing through your body, your mind and your spirit.
This is our focus, our intention.
.
So for those who aren't able to go out on their own for river, sea or lake adventures, we're creating safe, held, slow opportunities to be on the water
Nervous people are welcome, neurodiverse people are welcome, people with physical limitations are welcome. We want to make this work for you so talk to us about what's helpful.

We invite you to join us on the water.
We provide special canoes, beautifully restored, lightweight so they're easy to manoeuvre.
We provide all the kit you'll need and pick a venue that suits your wishes.
You're welcome to come on your own for a private session, or bring a group, or join a group.
Let's have a conversation to see what's going to serve you best.
You might pick a short trip, if you're nervous you might have other requests we'll look to meet. Paddling in silence is actually exquisite, it enables you to connect with the natural world at a different level. You might want it to feel like Cathy your guide is hardly there, or you might want to chat.
One particular delight is a kind of gondola style set up where two canoes are joined together and Cathy can control them both so you can just ride along with no effort, perhaps meditating, perhaps doing some process of your own, even napping.
You might choose to paddle in silence,
