Cold water immersion and resilience breathwork training in Mornington Peninsula, Gippsland, Sapphire Coast

Build Resilience, Extend Comfort & Capacity Without Resistance in Cold Water

Ice baths may look rad but can lead to stress and injury. Personal growth and resilience benefit from learning to understand how you adapt progressively towards your thresholds, finding comfort in the discomfort, without pushing. Coaching sessions for mindful cold water immersion in more manageable temperatures in beautiful settings along the Victorian and NSW coasts are just one option to build your capacity.

Wild Brumbies, Endangered Tuna, and How Freediving Resurrects Our Oneness with Nature

In the digital age, are we losing our sense of wild in Nature, happier to immerse in the curated online consumption version? What if we went back there? Is transformation possible? What do we do when we get there? And there’s wild beasts around? Freediving has become one method of returning to Nature, perhaps even a way of resurrecting our oneness. Freediving has for me been transformative, and shared lessons about connecting with Nature that I didn’t even know I needed. The unpredictable beauty of the ocean, even of life itself. When I happened upon a herd of wild Brumbies in the Snowy Mountains, freediving took me closer than I ever thought possible.

Finding Deep Down Bliss in the Second Deepest Pool in the World – Deepspot Poland

It’s impossible to hang onto moments, to clutch at the feelings, holding them tight within your chest, wanting to take them with you into the next hour, day, and the next day, and the next. Their transience is their ultimate beauty, like the brief shimmer of light emanating from the core of a princess cut diamond when it catches the glimmer from your lover’s wanting eye.

When things take our breath away, aren’t they some of the most profound life instalments?

Inhaling a deep breath and plunging down into the depths of freediving might just give you one of those moments too!

Exploring Forests of Errinundra – Wisdom of the Ancient

On a Summer’s day late afternoon I drove the Land Rover Discovery 4 out for an exploration of this magnificent area and stopped along the way to discover the walking trails available. An opportunity to immerse in an ancient world.

The Errinundra National Park Forest in far East Gippsland, in Victoria, Australia protects the state’s largest remaining stand of cool-temperate rainforest and ancient, tall eucalypt forests. The park represents a significant remnant of Gondwana rainforest.

It was with delight that I returned to Hobart and Eaglehawk Neck to run what I think could be the first ever Freediving Instructor course in Tasmania. And in this course it was wonderful to welcome accomplished freedivers that had learned and developed locally, and certainly active and proud members of the local freediving community in Tasmania.

Swimming with Sharks and Loosening the Grip of Our Fears

Swimming with Sharks and Loosening the Grip of Our Fears

Seconds ago, you surprised yourself with the level of calm, poise and fascination that you held whilst immersed 10-metres deep on one single breath, staring contentedly out of your mask and straight into the curious eye of a 2.5m long Grey Nurse Shark suspended there like a torpedo, very much within your arms reach.

Underdog to Top Dog, the Quest to Expand Our Capacity for Challenges using Breathwork

Underdog to Top Dog, the Quest to Expand Our Capacity for Challenges using Breathwork

In Australia, we love the underdog. The struggler, the battler.

The one we least expect to overcome adversity. The least likely to come out on top. The one considered weaker of the opponents. Less powerful, less funded, and unfairly treated, less just. The one entrenched in some kind of adversity, struggling for success.

We love to see them rise to the top. And take out that poppy. The tallest one, with its neck stuck out.

Breathe the Forest – Gravity Eden: Deep Slow Breathing for an Optimal You

Breathe the Forest – Gravity Eden: Deep Slow Breathing for an Optimal You

Cranking my way up After Burner towards Power Up track, my mental moaning rises to just behind my forehead, trying to get in the way of my frontal lobe duties that are keeping watch of the trail, interpreting the bumps, variations, shadows and light. The frontal lobe is as much under load as my quadriceps are as I seek to retain a regular rhythm of strong low-cadence pedalling in a tough gear up the steep inclines.
