Ocean water is a mirror, still, wild, free,
a pure mystery,
rippling with boundless transparency.
A space where all things dwell for reflection through which we get to Sea ourselves
more clearly
Heal your mind, heal your body & flow your water(s)
Amerta offers an enriching adventure and sanctuary for those seeking to discover and explore freediving not merely as a sport or mindfulness training, but as a powerful psychosomatic tool and ‘underwater therapy’ practice for conscious self growth and reflection, emotional healing and empowerment in life.
Learning to freedive and exploring our relationship to the ocean is often an exciting and challenging experience which can awaken all kinds of physical sensations and emotions while highlighting hidden aspects of ourselves.
We are here to support you with a nourishing home and community space wherein you are invited to reconnect with yourself and with what truly lights you up from within.
Our program and holistic approach is uniquely designed to combine beginner’s level freediving practice with therapeutic and interactive tools to align your body, mind and energy and experience a heightened sense of joy, vitality and inner peace.
For whom?
Whether you are eager to develop your relationship to water and freediving, looking to heal and find clarity and direction in life or simply in need for more stillness and replenishment, we are here to support you on your journey.
