Program
Merging water practices (freediving, water dance, aquatic therapy) and inner world exploration (yoga, movement practices, meditation, breathwork, dreamwork), you will dance by day, supported by the element of water, and dream by night, held between ocean depths and the vastness of the star-speckled sky.
You will meet with dolphins multiple times each day within the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea. Dolphins are extraordinary teachers of effortless and joyful movement within water. Through telepathic heart communication, dolphins will inspire you to surrender to your playful, intuitive nature, and to listen more deeply to your inner guidance.
Blue Mind Molly invites you to surrender to the ecstasy of existence, to allow yourself to be lulled into deep serenity by the mystic waters of the Red Sea, and through the guidance of dolphins, to deepen your connection with your inner intuitive and playful nature.
Yoga / somatic practices
In the mornings, you will open up the space to drop deeper into your bodies through yoga and other somatic practices, with a focus on finding alignment and fluidity within yourselves. These morning practices aim at awakening the body, remembering the connection of body-mind, and finding pleasure in your embodied experience.
On some days, you will draw elements from floorwork and contact improvisation dance, skills that you will then transfer to the liquid element: water dancing with the dolphins.
Freediving
Through freediving, you will gain access to a forgotten state of being, allowing you to exist within the water realm. By realizing that the possibilities of the human body are beyond your wildest dreams, you will transfer this knowledge to your psyche, realizing your infinite potential, and transcending limiting beliefs.
During your first two days on board, Blue Mind Molly will offer an introduction to freediving, consisting of breathing and meditation techniques, breath hold practices, and an exploration of moving through the element of water, guided by the dolphins, their teachers of how to move with efficiency and joy.
These initial freediving practices will open the pathway for further ventures throughout the week into the depths of both the ocean and the mind, allowing you to surrender deeper to the element of water, to deepen your daily meetings with dolphins, and to explore the hidden thought processes of the unconscious mind.
Dreamwork
Through the practices of freediving, you will enter into different states of consciousness. It will be a powerful time to pay attention to the inner world, as well as to decode your unconscious dreams and desires. Dreaming beneath open skies and resting on the open ocean expands the capacity of your imagination, providing space for transformation and self-discovery.
Each morning, there will be space for guided dream sharing, where in you will explore techniques for remembering dreams, interpreting dreams, and entering the realm of the lucid dream (if you feel called to).
During the evenings, there will be an opportunity for creative dreamwork practices to deepen your connection with self - from active imagination sound journeys to painting your dreams onwards - transforming unconscious beliefs and creating potential to manifest your deepest desires into reality.
Dolphins
You will be inhabiting a part of the Red Sea where dolphins regularly rest and play. You will meet with them each day, often multiple times, led by your personal guide who has a deeply respectful and conscious approach to connecting with them and their wisdom.
By tuning in with their energy, you will encounter invitations to play and dance among them, or simply to swim along the beautiful reefs as they meet you with curiosity and guidance.
Water dancing
In Ancient Egypt, water was seen as compensation for the freedom that the soul loses when it enters its bodily form. Within the womb, the first experiences of being in-body are held within this water state - a sacred container, your first earthly home.
As you enter into the ocean, you will return to this safe body-mind state, feeling held and connected to the source.
During your time together, you will journey through water body movement exploration, beginning your practice with research into how the body navigates through the realm of water and relearning how it is to exist and dialogue within the element of water - remembering.
The practice will bring together somatic approaches to connecting to self with water contact technique exploration.
Water contact invites you to fully enjoy your presence here and now, to respond with patience, to surrender to feeling, and to follow intuitive impulses to play and explore.
As you start dissolving into the element of water, your contours of self will also begin to melt. Your movement will become one with the ocean and the other, and you will become the ebb and flow of the wave, losing yourself to the fluidity of the oceanic body into a no-mind state.
During your journey, you will explore dancing solo and in contact, both in shallow and deep water, up to depths of 12 meters. Blue Mind Molly will offer techniques as well as scores to explore. However, the focus will be on finding your own authentic movement. No prior experience is required.
Water therapy
Within the daily water sessions, Blue Mind Molly will also introduce elements of water therapy and will open up space for giving and receiving the benefits of such experience.
Water therapy combines the physiological effects of massage with the somatic release of emotions. Being held by water allows your body to surrender to a deeper state of relaxation than one can achieve under the effects of gravity on the earthly realm.
Surrendering to such depth of relaxation within both the body and the mind releases tensions and emotions and brings one into a state of presence and connection with oneself.
During the trip, you will have the chance to experience a one-to-one water therapy session. Blue Mind Molly invites you to reconnect with your essence, to surrender to the experience of being held and moved through the water, and to surrender to fully experiencing the ebb and flow of life.
Flexible flowing schedule
The schedule will be free and flowing, inspired by the rhythm of the dolphins, the rise and fall of the sun, and the ebb and flow of the tides. You will be free to join or not any of the sessions each day.
This will be your time to listen to your inner voice, to explore your own connection with water and nature, and to follow the rhythms of your inner tides.
A rough outline of the adaptable schedule begins with morning yoga and somatic practices, followed by breakfast and space for dream sharing.
During the day, you will spend your time in presence with water, through freediving sessions along the reef towards the beginning of the week, moving towards water dance and water therapy work as the week flows on, and of course, with space each day for meeting, dancing, and playing among the dolphins.
You will have lunch at around 12 noon each day, and weave your water sessions around the presence and rhythm of the dolphins.
After enjoying peaceful sunsets and eating dinner together, there will be creative sessions in the evenings, working with dreams and other transformational practices.
Included excursions
- Swimming with the dolphins daily
