Bathing in Blue Mindfulness- Paddling Boarding Experience
Sunday, July 27th a serene and soul-soothing adventure on the water with Bathing in Blue Mindfulness, a unique paddle boarding experience inspired by the transformative power of nature and water. Led by Certified Nature Therapy Guide and Trainer Claire Beach, this 3-hour immersive session is more than a paddling trip—it’s an invitation to reconnect with your body, your breath, and the healing energy of the lake.
Set on the tranquil shores of North Otter Lake, this small-group experience draws inspiration from marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols’ concept of Blue Mind — a state of meditative calm and wellbeing activated by being near, in, on, or under water. Scientific research supports that time spent in aquatic environments can:
Reduce stress and anxiety
Boost creativity and emotional resilience
Enhance sleep, immune response, and cognitive function
Build empathy and promote pro-social behaviours
This guided experience includes gentle invitations to help you immerse in the landscape and embrace mindful presence as you paddle. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced paddler, you’ll find a pace that meets you exactly where you are. The afternoon concludes with a nourishing snack and tea, shared in quiet reflection with your fellow paddlers.
What to Expect:
A 3-hour guided experience on a semi-private lake
Light snack and herbal tea provided
A welcoming, judgment-free environment
Paddleboard rentals available for $25 through Frontenac Outfitters (optional)
