Helming is an art. Women’s group september 2011

Helming a boat is an art not a science and perfection is not possible. Sailing is a great Metaphore for recovery. This video is about Control and how one can never control a boat, the weather the environment etc. But you can work with it and tune in to all the changes. As in recovery from chemical abuse you cannot control your recovery but suitable words that are more helpful are accepting, surrender, gratitude, willingness, honesty, open mindedness.
 
Introduction activities and conditions wilderness therapy aboard Physis

An introduction to some of the activities and varied conditions likely to be experienced on sailaday ok sessions.  This is only a short blog with a variety of sights and conditions, various weather and sailing conditions.  The outcomes are extremely positive. The primary aim is for the participants to have a positive experience of themselves. The experience gives them tools to help their completion of treatment and eventually re-integration into the community. The Sailaday Ok experience has proved extremely successful, it changes lives. Sailings are three to five days from Falmouth, Cornwall.

 
 
Blind helming a tool to recovery

 

Blind helming is a great exercise to build confidence, trust and body awareness. This really helps to get the participant to connect with the elements and let the body do the sailing. Learn that your body has natural problem solving abilities if you listen to the information it is gathering.
