Wildbluesea
After my first trip to Costa Rica (in 2014), I made a commitment to watch the sun set every day for a year. It was my practice, my Sadhana && while it was beautiful and inspiring, it was also a lot of work to do this EVERY day — thus the spiritual aspect of the practice: consistency & self control.
The nearest & easiest place to do this (by car) was Coral Cove. Many times, I paired my practice of watching the sun set with an Asana practice; sometimes I just sat & watched. By visiting this beach, I met many people: Some surfers, checking for waves; Some tourists, looking around; Some locals, getting their #BlueMind fix for the day.
One such local was Linda — an environmental activist. We shared a love of wild waters and an understanding that these incredible spaces need protection. At the time she was known for her non-profit: Beach Guardians Atlantic, whose mission was to bring awareness to how & why plastics end up on our oceans & how to prevent it.
Some time passed & we fell in & out of touch. My sadhana changed, things changed— including her non-profit’s name & mission. Now known as @wildbluesea, with a mission— our mission (bc I’m a part of this too) is to “… inspire individuals to value wild waters and motivate behavior that heals people and planet.”
Linda asks the question: How do we motivate ourselves and others to value wild waters and strengthen the precious relationship between us as we make choices about how we live?
The answer: by bringing people into these healing spaces & curating experiences that help them fall deeply in love, so much so that they want to protect those spaces; By spreading BlueMind, a term coined by my favorite author @wallacejnichols that refers to the mildly meditative state people fall into when they are near, in, under or on water.
So, stay tuned for more #BlueMind by way of #WildBlueSea!
