Aligning with a brand that inspires and enables people to be out on the water, both in the big blue ocean, and upstream lakes that will eventually flow into her. Being in/on/around/underwater helps to accelerate Blue Mind, the scientifically proven concept that you are more calm, connected, and at peace near blue spaces. ISLE facilitates blue mind connection, getting people into aquatic ecosystems they will fall in love with and eventually protect, as they would their own family.

So many cultures around the world have profound stories around their respective connection to water in a multitude of forms. My connection to water stems from spending time in/on/around/underwater. Water has not only healed me and helped to clear my mind, it has been a living entity that has supported me through my darkest times and continues to share its wisdom that I channel when communicating about the sacred need to protect water with the world. 

 Hopping on my ISLE paddle board and taking to the water of Vancouver harbor allows me to cope with and find peace in a very chaotic and conflicting global society based on old-school practices that don’t address the long-term ecological, human, and hydro-social costs of exploitation. With each paddle I find clarity and purpose, illuminating a more symbiotic pathway forwards that illustrates the ways in which humans and nature can coexist in a world governed by water. 

Through so many hard times, water has reminded me that the harder you try to squeeze down on her, and keep her close the more she will flow out of your closed fist. However, with an open palm and cupped hand you can hold a lot of water gracefully, by letting go of control and allowing yourself to be in the flow. This is critical to my watery learnings that  shape my present being and the future work as a water protector and spirit.
