Silent Morning: Meditation & Sea Swim
A short sit on the sand, then a swim in a cove before anyone else arrives. Nobody speaks until the coffee afterwards.
Why it’s included
Included for the discipline of it. The silence is real and the group is small enough that it holds. Tomás turns the session off when the swell is wrong rather than running it anyway.
Inclusion is an editorial judgment. How we select.
Is this for you?
Is this for you?
A good fit if you…
- Swim confidently in open water without a floor underfoot
- Are willing to keep silence for about an hour
- Want the sea, not a pool with a view
Probably not if you…
- Are a nervous swimmer — there is no lifeguard and no shallow end
- Need certainty about dates; this one runs when the sea allows
- Want instruction; the sit is guided, the swim is not
