Programmes in Scotland

At Groundswell Scotland, we’re a charity rooted in Groundswell Surf Therapy™ – harnessing the power of the sea to help women heal, grow, and connect. Our programmes bring women – cis and trans – together by the ocean, where they can find calm, courage, and community among the waves.

Whether it’s one-to-one surf therapy, community sessions, workshops, or bespoke retreats, we offer a good mix of spaces where surfsisters can feel safe, seen, and supported. It’s about wellbeing, belonging, and riding life’s swells with a bit more confidence, with friends, in community.

I was happier, healthier, I was a lot fitter. The sea gets you fitter without you noticing it…joy and happiness –  that’s what I get from the sea.
