You can choose from one-day to week-long retreats. Or get in touch to explore bespoke 1:1 experiences.

Our retreats follow a daily programme, including:

  • Movement Practice

    Discover a path to self-awareness and growth with our movement practice. We guide you through gentle exercises that help you connect with your body and understand its signals. This practice fosters a sense of control, boosts your self-esteem, and prepares you for the day ahead. By enhancing your openness and capacity for learning, our movement practice supports your journey towards overcoming whatever stands in your way.

  • Psycho Education

    Each day at Resurface includes a psycho-educational workshop designed to enlighten and empower you. Understanding the “why” behind your experiences provides valuable insights and fosters self-compassion. These sessions offer therapeutic benefits and equip you with the knowledge to navigate your path to transformation and thriving in life.

  • Surfing Lessons

    Experience the transformative power of surfing, the cornerstone of our approach. By immersing yourself in the rhythm of the waves, you tap into a state of ‘Flow,’ dramatically enhancing problem-solving abilities and productivity. This powerful experience supports both group and one-on-one therapy, unlocking your potential and driving profound personal growth.

  • Experiential Group Work

    Find growth in a supportive community where you can uncover powerful insights and connections. Our experiential group sessions help you explore pivotal moments from your past, with compassionate peer support. This process fosters deep personal growth, helping you move forward and transform your life.

  • Relaxation & Memory Consolidation

    At the end of each enriching day, we help you integrate and process your experiences through Non Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) protocols. This practice aids memory consolidation and promotes deep relaxation, ensuring you end your day with a calm, rejuvenated mind, ready to continue thriving.

A note from your trusted guide, Josh:

“Surfing is a form of forced mindfulness. When you’re out on the water, focussing on the waves forces you to forget about everything else at that moment in time. It accelerates healing”

Makes sense right?

Whatever is standing in your we, you are not alone. Surfing can help you break through your struggles and thrive.

  • Could Surfing Be Your Ultimate Problem Solver?

    Surfing does more than just get your adrenaline pumping. It teaches us valuable lessons in tackling life’s problems head-on. Dive into how the forced mindfulness of surfing can unlock your problem-solving skills.

  • What is Forced Mindfulness?

    Forced mindfulness occurs when we’re so engaged in an activity that our usual distractions vanish. Surfing demands this level of focus, grounding us in the present and clearing our minds for pure thought.

  • Clarity in the Waves

    The clear mind that comes with forced mindfulness on the waves enhances our ability to make split-second decisions. This clarity can translate into everyday life, improving our decision-making skills.

  • Calm Mind, Creative Solutions

    Surfing reduces stress, which not only improves our overall well-being but also frees up mental space for creativity. A less stressed mind is more adept at thinking outside the box and solving complex problems.

  • Lessons from the Ocean

    Each wave presents a new challenge, much like the varying problems we face in life. Surfing teaches us to adapt and find pathways through obstacles, fostering resilience and ingenuity.

  • Sharpen Your Focus

    The persistence needed in surfing—constantly paddling back out or waiting for the right wave—hones our focus. Focused effort is key in overcoming challenges and achieving goals, whether on the ocean or in the office.

  • Reflect, Learn, Grow

    Post-surf reflections mirror the reflective practices we can apply after tackling life’s problems. Each session offers insights into our actions and outcomes, helping us learn and grow.
