‘I was surfing on the north coast of Cornwall after going through a really rough two year period, with extreme burnout, stress, anxiety, I caught a wave and fell. Getting sucked under I couldn't get back up but whilst being thrown around by the wave, I went from panic to a sense of calm..It was weirdly peaceful under the water once you stop, relax and go with the flow.. for the first time in 2 years I felt a sense of peace, watching the waves crash over head, beads of light shimmering through. Once I came to the surface (probably 30 seconds or less later, it felt like 5 minutes) I chased that same feeling, hoping to fall off and experience it again, but I never did. Or have.’

‘Solace was that experience for me, learning to find calm and peaceful moments in the chaos of life, Learning to deal with my thoughts and feelings in a healthier way. Knowing that each day there are moments of peace and clarity, we just have to stop and notice it.’
