Four weeks. Twelve women. One hour connecting, one hour surfing. Sydney.

The Saltwater Circle runs four-week programs in Sydney for women who want to feel more connected — to themselves, to the ocean, and to a group of women who actually know them. No surfing experience needed.

The format

What actually happens

01

The first hour is on the sand.

I facilitate a conversation on one theme — the kind of conversation you don’t usually get to have. You’ll talk. You’ll listen. You’ll leave with something practical you can use that week.

02

The second hour is in the water.

Qualified instructors, boards and wetsuits provided, in partnership with a Sydney surf school. Complete beginners are welcome — most of the group will be one too.

Meet Gabby

Hi, I’m Gabby.

I started running wellbeing workshops at 19, and over five years I’ve spoken to thousands of students across Sydney high schools about resilience, empathy and gratitude. The Saltwater Circle came from noticing that the same conversations were missing for women and that they go a lot deeper standing in the ocean than sitting in a room.
