Find relief from depression
and reconnect with life
Our retreats are designed to help you heal deeply, overcome depression, and rediscover balance in a supportive environment.
Depression can feel isolating, especially when nothing else has worked.
If you’re here, you might be feeling:
- Trapped in a cycle of low energy and hopelessness.
- Overwhelmed by emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone.
- Disconnected from yourself, your relationships, or the world around you.
- Burdened by past experiences that weigh you down.
- Unsure if you’ll ever feel better, questioning if healing is possible.
Imagine stepping into a space where you feel seen, supported, and capable of change. A place where you can rediscover peace and wake up feeling lighter, more at ease, and connected again.
How our surf therapy retreats can help with depression
The healing power of nature and science-backed therapy
Depression often creates a sense of stuckness, but movement—both physical and emotional—can be transformative. At Resurface, we combine the healing power of nature with science-backed therapy to help you move forward.
Surfing connects you to the rhythm of the ocean, promoting flow and presence. Guided therapy sessions offer tools to process emotions and build resilience, while group support reminds you that you’re not alone.
Our retreats are designed to create breakthroughs, offering you a fresh perspective and a path toward hope.
