A welcoming surf and wellbeing community for women in East Lothian and the Scottish Borders
Welcome tae Groundswell Scotland – a bonnie grassroots charity bringing together a powerful community of surfsisters. We’re all aboot creating brave, safe, and women-centred spaces where you can discover your own unique strength in the waves of Mother Ocean.
Groundswell Scotland is a charity rooted in Groundswell Surf Therapy™; a recognised practice that harnesses the power of the sea to help women heal, grow, and connect. Our programmes bring all women, cis and trans, together by the ocean where they can find calm, courage, and community among the waves.
We provide group surf therapy for trauma recovery which requiers a 1-1 session with one of our facilitators before your place on the programme is confirmed. We also offer community sessions, workshops, and bespoke retreats which are open to everyone.
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.
