Four days of somatics and freediving nested between the mountains and sea of Bali this Oct 31 – Nov 3, 2025
Oceanic Origins is an invitation to reconnect: where your body becomes a guide, the ocean a mirror, and each dive a living ritual of renewal.
Rediscover your aquatic nature in a transformative 4-day freediving immersion designed for beginners.
More than a skills course, this is a soft return to the body’s innate intelligence through somatics and our shared oceanic lineage through freediving.
Through foundational freediving techniques, embodied somatic practices, and contemporary science; you’ll cultivate confidence and clarity—meeting new depths physically, mentally, and poetically.
Guided on land, in the studio, and in open water up to 20 meters, this course weaves hands-on learning with deep ecology and therapeutic arts, creating an expansive and supportive space for depth and transformation that will create ripples far beyond the four days together.
And yes, freediving is safe when practiced with proper guidance. With experienced instructors, supportive buddy systems, and proven breathing techniques, you'll be held in a calm, nurturing environment where depth unfolds at your own pace.
Whether you are seeking adventure, healing, or simple presence, this course offers an entry point into a lifelong practice of moving with the ocean and with the waters of your body.
If we follow the evolutionary story, derived from fossils, we see that our ancestors traversed through various body forms. Through all of these changes, we retained our liquid core. The amniotic fluid in the womb and our blood retain the saline content of the sea.
Although we may think of ourselves as solid, fixed, or hard-wired, we are indeed fluid creatures.”
