Sough and Sea Belhaven 2026

We’re excited to share that in 2026, Groundswell Scotland will deliver two Sough & Sea sessions, supporting women and non-binary people to build wellbeing, resilience, and connection through surf therapy, nature, and community 🌊🌿

Running in May and June, across coastal and woodland settings, participants will develop confidence, ocean awareness, and environmental skills—while forming meaningful peer connections and deepening their relationship with nature.

From trauma-informed surf sessions at Belhaven Bay to guided woodland therapy and sustainability workshops, each programme will create safe, supportive spaces for growth and empowerment.

Sough & Sea will continue to demonstrate the power of combining wellbeing with climate-positive action—supporting individuals while strengthening communities and care for coastlines and wild spaces.

2 sessions funded Funded by East Lothian Climate Action Network.

Each sessions will be 3 hours including surf therapy and environmental conservation - all equipment will be provided.

Our sessions are delivered by fully qualified and experienced surf and nature therapy facilitators who are trauma informed beach lifeguards and surf coaches.
