Ocean Immersions
‘What’s good for the fish is what’s good for the people.’
Norm Harry, Former Chairman of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe
Reconnect back to yourself, your body, and the beauty of the Ocean.
Rediscover the essence of connection—what it means to reconnect with yourself, your body, and the power of your breath, while learning and experiencing the magic of the ocean.
The demands of everyday life can create unhealthy levels of stress for many people. The ocean is one of the most effective ways to reset, recharge, and reconnect with your inner self and the natural world.
We are shaped by millions of years of evolution. Our nervous systems are designed to adapt, protect, and connect—to survive and thrive in the wild. But modern life overwhelms these systems, leaving us dysregulated, depleted, and disconnected.
At Wild Within, we’ll help you understand how stress works and how to work with it—not against it. You’ll learn how to shift from reactive survival into grounded presence, using tools that regulate your nervous system and build embodied confidence.
This one-day ocean immersion is designed to equip you with practical skills and experiential insight. Whether you’re new to the ocean or already comfortable in the water, you’ll gain tools to support your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing—both in and out of the sea.
No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to meet yourself and explore what’s possible when you reconnect with the wild within.

I took myself out of my comfort zone and really enjoyed the experience. I learnt a lot about being still and in the moment and how much more is absorbed by being present.

Kim and Justin are highly skilled ocean adventure coaches and took us on an epic journey. The day was packed with adventure and deep insights on how to release stress. Our group bonded nicely exploring the beautiful kelp forest. My only question is, when can we go again.
