Take part in our autumn / winter challenge - discover well-being and awaken your blue mind.  

 

To find the positive benefits of water for the body and mind you don’t need to like cold swimming or even live near water.  You just need to be up for a bit of a challenge.

 

‘Awaken your blue mind’ has grown each year and now has 100 challenges.  Some are active and others are creative, some are mindful and others are about giving back to blue spaces. 

 

The idea is you complete 21 activities (you can repeat challenges) over the winter months, starting on  27th October 2024 and ending on 30th March 2025.  Complete the challenge and receive your reward your - ‘Awaken your blue mind’ badge.  

 

Anyone can take part - adults, children and families.  It has been co - designed with people who have disabilities and / or have been struggling with illness. Feedback from previous participants has shown it can really help people from all walks of life but particularly people feeling isolated.

 

We provide an ‘Awaken your blue mind’ e-journal for recording your challenges and reflections. It is full of inspirational quotes about the restorative power of water.

 

You also get to join our free dedicated private Facebook page. Here you can share your experiences with other like-minded people from across the world. They will be all up for the challenge and want to discover the same sense of wellbeing by connecting to blue spaces.  

 

Some quotes from previous participants:

 

‘Inspiring, confidence-building, community’

 

‘Healing, uplifting and magical’

 

‘Completing the blog gave me time to reflect on the importance of blue therapy’

 

‘It gave me a community I don't have here where I live. I learned so much.’
