The inaugural James Island Wellness Festival, held on May 17th, 2025, exceeded all expectations. The support and energy from the James Island wellness community were truly inspiring, and we are deeply thankful for the meaningful connections, partnerships, and unforgettable memories. Every teacher, vendor, and attendee made a lasting impact—and for that, we are immensely grateful.

Waves for women uses group surf instruction and guided wellness discussion to teach adaptive life skills such as overcoming adversity and challenges, practicing mindfulness, personal strengths, growth mindset & letting go.
Surf therapy programs use a combination of wellness education, surf instruction, and mindfulness practices within a safe outdoor space. This gives participants the opportunity to discover and enhance personal strengths, connect with other women, and experience belonging and connection.
