Oceanic Origins is an invitation to reconnect: where your body becomes a guide, the ocean a mirror, and each dive a living ritual of renewal.
Rediscover your aquatic nature in a transformative 3-day freediving immersion designed for beginners. More than a skills course, this is a soft return to the body’s innate intelligence through somatics and our shared oceanic lineage through freediving.
Through foundational freediving techniques, embodied somatic practices, and contemporary science; you’ll cultivate confidence and clarity—meeting new depths physically, mentally, and poetically.
Guided on land, in the studio, and in open water up to 20 meters, this course weaves hands-on learning with deep ecology and therapeutic arts, creating an expansive and supportive space for depth and transformation that will create ripples far beyond the four days together.
Subtle Waters x Body as Earth
We are an interdisciplinary team of facilitators brought together by a shared devotion to water, movement, and the intelligence of the human body. Our professional backgrounds include freediving instruction, somatic therapy, aquatic bodywork, trauma-informed facilitation, contemporary and traditional dance, and creative direction.
We come from diverse island and mountain communities, urban art centers, and therapeutic traditions, and we offer a broad range of skills and cultural insights. We are trained and certified freediving instructors, somatic practitioners, dancers, and water-based facilitators who offer a compelling fusion of technical accuracy and intuitive artistry—crafting settings where knowledge intersects with empathy, and mindfulness becomes the maturation of the practice.
For the past decade, we’ve hosted and facilitated retreats, embodiment festivals, residencies, and healing events around the globe. Our method balances framework and freedom, focus and levity, with an emphasis on trauma-informed principles and genuine consideration for each participant’s journey. We view water not merely as an environment but as a co-facilitator—providing a medium that softens, clarifies, and facilitates transformation.
With curiosity and experience, we aim to meet and welcome every participant to a free and supportive environment with three dimensional breath work, body movement and ocean interplay.

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy is a method of gently realigning the body’s dynamics to release tension, restore balance, and support holistic healing from chronic pain, stress, and emotional volatility.
Biodynamic Somatic Therapy (BST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural rhythms to reorganise from misaligned or overworked states into more fluid, available, and spacious states of internal harmony.
Rooted in Craniosacral dynamics, BST focuses on the spine—the core of the central nervous system—helping to address chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and the lingering effects of trauma.
