Join clinical psychologist Dr. Moire Stevenson and ADHD-specialist Russell Cooper as you gently transition from the busyness of the week into a state of calm, supportive connection on the water.
Perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a stress-free evening, this event offers a unique opportunity to re-focus, re-centre yourself, and quiet the mind. Combining gentle paddling instruction with nature-informed mindfulness practices, Moire and Russ will guide you through sensory grounding techniques designed to help you regulate your nervous system, build self-confidence, and truly unplug.
In our warm, non-competitive space, you’ll learn to align the rhythm of your paddle with the natural flow of the water, leaving you feeling restored and grounded.

-
All rental equipment (kayak, paddle, and life jacket/PFD)

Professional on-water guidance and safety briefing

Facilitated mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and grounding practices
À quoi s'attendre
-
Warm Welcome & Land-Based Grounding: We will begin on shore with a brief introduction, safety overview, and basic paddling instructions. Moire and Russ will lead a short grounding exercise to help us transition mindfully from our days.
-
Gentle Launching: Our team will assist everyone safely into their kayaks. We paddle at a slow, relaxed pace—this is a journey of presence, not a race.
-
Mindfulness on the Water: Once afloat, we will practice sensory awareness, inviting quiet moments to tune into the soothing sounds of the water, the evening breeze, and the surrounding nature.
-
Closing Circle: We will wrap up our evening back on shore with a brief moment to reflect, ground ourselves, and carry that sense of presence back into our daily lives.
