Men's group with sailaday ok recovering addicts

Men's group with sailaday ok recovering addicts
It's amazing how various conditions not only change the nature of the sailing but also how one thinks and feels.
Sailing through the  misty warm autumn weather felt a bit like journeying through recovery, very beautiful and full of surprises but also full of latent dangers. One needs a good chart and vigilance.

First mentoring group june 2011
First mentoring group for adventure therapy and their amazing gallery of art  presented to the 'kipper'. they were really enthusiastic and willing to make the most of the session. They were a lot of fun and because they were well prepared and had made a big effort to get to the session they got a lot more out of it.

 
A hot week of wilderness therapy April 2011

A hot week of wilderness therapy . It was slow and peaceful. Not a lot of action except for the fishing and views of wildlife, sharks, seals and swans. But real benefits as the participants reported experiencing great insights and increased sense of proportion in their lives, some clarity and peace and contentment and good self-esteem therapy. LESS IS ENOUGH.
