🌊During June, Sailing Into Wellness are thrilled to welcome Sclerosis Ireland on board to share the joy of sailing in Kinsale Harbour, on our Day-Sailing programme.

The unique setting of the sea provides a special space for relaxation, connection and everyone's wellbeing.

💦 Thoroughly enjoying sharing time with a wonderful group, building bonds, developing sailing skills and even getting some sunshine as an added bonus. ☀️

Looking forward to the next sail already! 💫

Look... whats thats over there... just a little splash 🤣

A few weeks ago, Tessa and Leonie traveled to brussels to share the work that we do with other eager adventures.. and eager they were, no splashs, waves, or windy kept them from enjoying the experience and learning all about what we do here at sailing into wellness

Frist week in Kerry was a little windy but we had amazing smiles all around, even in the rocky waves!

💫Some of our Sailing Into Wellness team spent time in Belgium last week connecting and building a strong community at GATE Belgium 2026.

😊Bringing together Adventure Therapy practitioners, researchers and organisations involved in Adventure Therapy across Europe, it was an opportunity to exchange ideas, share practices and explore new developments in the field.

🌊Sailing Into Wellness provided an experiential taster of our 'Day-Sailing' programme and also delivered a workshop, sharing Tessa's findings in her PhD Study 1 with Maynooth University.

🙌We are excited to be part of this growing community and look forward to working together in Ireland in 2028, to help shape the future of Adventure Therapy in Europe. ✨

Groups:
⚓ Aiséirí Men's House
⚓Cornmarket Wexford

A variety of community groups from a range of backgrounds had their first day this week. We met 28 wonderful individuals, who we have the privilege of working with for the next 4 weeks. Everyone coming with their own hopes, nerves, fears, excitement and enthusiasm.

SIW Foundation programme: Groups of 6-8 people come one day a week for 4 consecutive weeks.

Goals for week 1 included:
⛵ Rapport & trust building - get to know each other
⛵ Familiarity with the boats - try something new, pick up a few skills
⛵ Self awareness & reflection - where am I at, what do I want from this time? Comfort zones & stretch zones
⛵ Headspace - switch off and recharge
⛵Regulation - nervous system & emotional
⛵ Fun - remember to bring a bit of spark back into daily life

In Waterford we are working with organisations supporting people on journeys of: addiction recovery, social exclusion, criminal justice system, mental health, women's support services, education and community integration.

Our focus is always: meeting people where they are at, and tailoring the programme to compliment their wider life goals.

Thanks to the local DME business and organisations who help us out:

📍Kinsale, Co Cork

🌬️The first breeze of the sailing season is special but when Kinsale delivers sunshine too, now that's the cherry on top!

👉As part of 'Women in Sport Week 2026', in collaboration with Cork Sports Partnership, we welcomed a fantastic group of ladies on board our Hawk 20s to introduce them to the joys of sailing. ⛵

👉Also, thrilled to have a new group from Cork Life Centre join us for a 4-week 'Day Sailing' programme, so keeping our fingers crossed the weather behaves, going forward.

Working together, sharing knowledge, building skills and confidence on the water, being present.......we allow the rhythm of the tide and the wind set the scene for a great day together.

🎉Feeling very grateful to be running our first Cork-based programmes for 2026 from our new Pier Road location in Kinsale. Many more programmes to follow .....🎉
